phantombuster

phantombuster is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Buzzmatic/awesome-agent-skills. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,647 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An integration with PhantomBuster, a service that runs automated tasks through configurable agents called phantoms, focused here on LinkedIn. It can manage phantoms, launch or stop them, retrieve their output, and work with stored leads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing and inspecting phantoms, launching messaging, connection-request, or profile-visit automations, checking running jobs, retrieving output, and managing lead data.
Why use it?
It puts LinkedIn automation and its results behind one API workflow instead of requiring each operation to be handled manually in the PhantomBuster interface.

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

phantombuster 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/auth.py, scripts/get_agent.py, scripts/get_org.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.

What this file has done since we first saw it
