SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Rogue Agent · line 101
    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

  • low Excessive Agency · line 28
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skill-factory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/format_skill_research.py, scripts/package_skill.py, scripts/quick_validate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill Factory

Comprehensive workflow orchestrator for creating high-quality Claude Code skills with automated research, content review, and multi-tier validation.

When to Use This Skill

Use skill-factory when:

  • Creating any new skill - From initial idea to validated, production-ready skill
  • Research needed - Automate gathering of documentation, examples, and best practices
  • Quality assurance required - Ensure skills meet official specifications and best practices
  • Guided workflow preferred - Step-by-step progression with clear checkpoints
  • Validation needed - Runtime testing, integration checks, and comprehensive auditing

The skill-factory provides 9 specialized commands for the create-review-validate lifecycle:

Command Purpose Use When
/meta-claude:skill:research Gather domain knowledge using firecrawl API Need automated web scraping for skill research
/meta-claude:skill:format Clean and structure research materials Have raw research needing markdown formatting
/meta-claude:skill:create Initialize skill structure with references Ready to scaffold skill directory from research
/meta-claude:skill:write Synthesize references into SKILL.md content Skill initialized but needs content written
/meta-claude:skill:review-content Validate content quality and clarity Need content review before compliance check
/meta-claude:skill:review-compliance Run quick_validate.py on SKILL.md Validate YAML frontmatter and naming conventions
/meta-claude:skill:validate-runtime Test skill loading in Claude context Verify skill loads without syntax errors
/meta-claude:skill:validate-integration Check for conflicts with existing skills Ensure no duplicate names or overlaps
/meta-claude:skill:validate-audit Invoke claude-skill-auditor agent Get comprehensive audit against Anthropic specs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
