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.

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 | $0.00116 | $0.13076 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00058 | $0.06538 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.02615 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01308 |
Grade B, and why
cso scanned grade B with 3 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.
Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection
Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.
- `IGNORE PREVIOUS`, `system override`, `disregard`, `forget your instructions` (prompt injection) Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
Enumerates other installed skillslowAgent snooping
Other skills' SKILL.md files reveal prompts, capabilities and secrets that should be invisible to peers.
ls -la .claude/skills/ 2>/dev/null Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- `curl`, `wget`, `fetch`, `http`, `exfiltrat` (network exfiltration) This is a copy
80% identical to cso — 405 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 928 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

If PROACTIVE is "false", do not proactively suggest gstack skills AND do not
auto-invoke skills based on conversation context. Only run skills the user explicitly
types (e.g., /qa, /ship). If you would have auto-invoked a skill, instead briefly say:
"I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?" and wait for confirmation.
The user opted out of proactive behavior.
If SKILL_PREFIX is "true", the user has namespaced skill names. When suggesting
or invoking other gstack skills, use the /gstack- prefix (e.g., /gstack-qa instead
of /qa, /gstack-ship instead of /ship). Disk paths are unaffected — always use
~/.claude/skills/gstack/[skill-name]/SKILL.md for reading skill files.
If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.
If LAKE_INTRO is no: Before continuing, introduce the Completeness Principle.
Tell the user: "gstack follows the Boil the Lake principle — always do the complete
thing when AI makes the marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean"
Then offer to open the essay in their default browser:
open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean
touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen
Only run open if the user says yes. Always run touch to mark as seen. This only happens once.
What ships with it
2 files 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.
- 7d ago First seen · 928 lines · 116 tokens per session scan B 2d7921a5a84d
cso is a skill published in the GitHub repository CarbeneAI/Forge (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 13,076 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (instruction-override phrasing, enumerates other installed skills, makes network calls). It is 80% identical to cso, differing in 405 lines, and is treated as a copy.
