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.

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 | $0.00139 | $0.02821 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00069 | $0.01411 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00564 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00282 |
Grade A, and why
crypto-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Crypto Audit — Cryptography Implementation Review
Audit how cryptography is implemented in an application — algorithm choices, parameters, modes, and the implementation patterns that turn good primitives into broken systems. Deeper than owasp-audit A02 (which catches the obvious "MD5 password" and "VERIFY_NONE" cases). This skill is for the subtler implementation review.
Most crypto failures are not "they used MD5." Most failures are: right primitive, wrong mode (ECB instead of GCM), right algorithm, wrong parameter (PBKDF2 with 1,000 iterations in 2026), right library, wrong call order (init the cipher after the data was loaded).
Cross-references: owasp-audit A02 (baseline) + A07 (timing-safe comparison), secrets-audit (key storage), iam-audit (KMS / HSM patterns).
Don't roll your own
The default audit verdict for any custom encryption scheme is "use libsodium / Tink / WebCrypto instead." There are < 50 people on Earth who can design new crypto safely, and they don't work at your company. Unless an explicit threat model says otherwise, custom crypto is a finding.
Audit Checklist
Algorithm and mode
- Symmetric: AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 (authenticated encryption — confidentiality + integrity in one primitive)
- Reject: AES-ECB (block-pattern leak — identical plaintext → identical ciphertext), AES-CBC without HMAC (unauthenticated; padding oracle attacks), AES-CTR without HMAC (malleable; bit-flip = plaintext-flip), DES / 3DES, RC4, Blowfish (use Twofish or skip altogether)
- Asymmetric: Ed25519 / X25519 for signatures and key exchange; RSA-OAEP / RSA-PSS at 3072+ bits if compatibility forces RSA; never RSA with PKCS#1 v1.5 padding for encryption (Bleichenbacher); never raw RSA
- Hashing (general purpose): SHA-256, SHA-3, BLAKE2 / BLAKE3
- Hashing (passwords) — categorically different problem: Argon2id, scrypt, bcrypt (with cost ≥ 12 for bcrypt; OWASP 2024 floor)
- MAC: HMAC-SHA256 minimum; never CBC-MAC; never homemade
hash(key + message) - Grep for:
MD5,SHA1(outside of HMAC-SHA1 in legacy compat),DES,RC4,Blowfish,AES.*ECB,pkcs1_v1_5(Python),RSA.encryptwithout OAEP
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.

crypto-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository briiirussell/cybersecurity-skills (387 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 139 tokens to every session and 2,821 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
