Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 5 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 Supply Chain · line 97 Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 3 Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 97 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 103 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.02982 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.01491 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00596 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00298 |
Grade B, and why
zeroclaw-telegram-channel scanned grade B with 2 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 7d ago.
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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:42617/api/config/map-key?path=mcp.servers&key=my_server" -H "Authorization: Bearer zc_selftest" -d '{}' Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:42617/api/config/map-key?path=mcp.servers&key=my_server" -H "Authorization: Bearer zc_selftest" -d '{}' How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ZeroClaw Telegram Channel
Gets the ZeroClaw agent reachable from Telegram: healthy channel, stable gateway, and your identity bound to the channel alias so the agent responds without endless /bind codes.
When to use
- The agent keeps printing
Telegram pairing required. One-time bind code: NNNNand never settles. zeroclaw gatewaycomponent showsAddress already in use (os error 98)with a high restart count.zeroclaw channel doctorreports healthy, butzeroclaw channel sendfails with401 Unauthorized.- You just added a bot token and want to bind your own Telegram account (username or numeric user ID) to a channel alias.
Required tools
zeroclawCLI (config-dir defaults to~/.zeroclaw)systemctl --user(daemon runs as a user systemd service)ss(socket inspection)
No external APIs required.
Skills
1. Survey the current state
zeroclaw status # version, workspace, service, channels
zeroclaw channel doctor # per-channel health
zeroclaw channel list # configured channels + aliases
cat ~/.zeroclaw/state/daemon_state.json | python3 -c \
"import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); [print(k,'->',c.get('status'),(c.get('last_error') or '')[:60]) for k,c in d['components'].items()]"
ps aux | grep "zeroclaw daemon" | grep -v grep # count daemons — must be exactly ONE
ss -tlnp | grep 42617 # who owns the gateway port
2. Kill duplicate daemons (the #1 root cause)
Two daemons (e.g. a homebrew install and a cargo install) both polling the same bot token and fighting over the gateway port break pairing and Telegram getUpdates. Keep the daemon whose workspace matches the CLI, disable the other:
systemctl --user list-units | grep -i zeroclaw
systemctl --user stop homebrew.zeroclaw.service
systemctl --user disable homebrew.zeroclaw.service
systemctl --user restart zeroclaw.service
sleep 6
ps aux | grep "zeroclaw daemon" | grep -v grep # expect exactly one
ss -tlnp | grep 42617 # expected to be held by the surviving PID
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.

zeroclaw-telegram-channel is a skill published in the GitHub repository besoeasy/open-skills (132 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 2,982 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
