SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 15 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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 | $0.00084 | $0.00975 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00487 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00195 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00097 |
Grade A, and why
routine-abstraction-flattener 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 4d 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Routine: Abstraction Flattener
Indirection has to earn its keep. Flatten what doesn't.
Routine ground rules
- A user request to run this routine authorizes the full cycle: plan, fix, verify, then invoke
$ship(Codex) or/ship(Claude) directly in the same run. Honor explicit user limits such as audit-only or no-ship. - Keep a concise execution plan in the conversation and update it as findings are confirmed. Continue into implementation without a planning approval pause. Do not create or file a
.pmmilestone/task as a prerequisite or substitute for fixing; use the board only if the user requests it. - After the verification phase, follow the shipping phase below without asking the user to invoke ship separately. Preserve the ship skill's branch, conflict-resolution, and safety rules.
- Fix everything you find directly in the working tree. If a fix can't be finished safely in this run, revert only your partial work for that fix and list it under Deferred in the report — never leave the tree half-refactored.
- Scope: parse
$ARGUMENTSper Phase 1 — an optional path/module scope or skill-specific target. No argument = the skill's stated default (usually the whole repo via parallel agents per module: lego/types, lego/operator, lego/backend, lego/cli, dashboard). - False-positive discipline: if a finding is intentional, load-bearing, or ambiguous, skip it with a one-line reason — don't argue it into a change.
- Every change must pass the verification gates for the modules it touched before being reported as done: operator
make test+make lint(fromlego/operator/),cd lego/backend && go test ./...,cd lego/cli && go test ./..., dashboardyarn test+ typecheck. - Run
npx [email protected] --writeon any markdown touched. - Before shipping, summarize results in commentary using: Fixed (file:line + one-line rationale) / Deferred (item + why) / Skipped (finding + reason) / Gates (commands run + outcomes).
Phase 1 — Scope
Parse $ARGUMENTS as an optional path/module scope. Empty = whole repo via parallel per-module agents.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

routine-abstraction-flattener is a skill published in the GitHub repository bex-co/bex (522 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 975 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
