unsafe-installer

unsafe-installer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from buzzicra/skillguard. It costs 12 tokens per session (70 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A deliberately unsafe example add-on that contains commands to send an API key to an external site and run a remote installer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Security testing and demonstrations of unsafe installer behavior.
Why use it?
It helps test whether an add-on review process detects dangerous commands and attempts to override safety instructions.

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 C, and why

unsafe-installer scanned grade C 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 1mo 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.

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.
