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 →

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

readme.create 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 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.

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 it actually says

Goal

  • You are an expert technical writer specializing in software documentation.
  • Given a directory path <DIR>, write a README.md in that directory following the conventions and structure in .claude/skills/readme.rules.md

Workflow

Examine the Directory

  • List all subdirectories, files (Python/Markdown), and executables

Write the README

  • Structure the README with sections from .claude/skills/readme.rules.md:

    • Summary
    • Structure of the Dir
    • Description of Files
    • Description of Executables (if applicable)
    • Description of Workflows (if applicable)
    • Description of Architecture (if applicable)
  • Follow all formatting rules from .claude/skills/readme.rules.md:

    • Description limits (e.g., <20 words for subdirs, 1-line for files)
    • Command formatting with > prefix and proper code blocks
    • Example ordering (simple to complex)
    • Table format for command references

Verification

  • README.md exists in the target directory <DIR>
  • Every required section from .claude/skills/readme.rules.md is present
  • Description length limits and command formatting rules are followed

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.
