SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 3 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.
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 | $0.00015 | $0.00346 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00138 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00069 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
slides.fix_rendered_pdf 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
- Make sure that the PDF rendering of a slide
.smdfile is well formed
Inputs
<SMD_FILE>lecture file to check- E.g.,
msml610/lectures_source/Lesson01.4-Brief_History_of_AI.smd
- E.g.,
Workflow
Render the Slides
- Run
> gen_slides.py <SMD_FILE> -- --toc_type=remove_headers - Read the generated PDF
<PDF_FILE>- E.g.,
msml610/lectures_pdf.tmp/Lesson01.4-Brief_History_of_AI.pdf
- E.g.,
Check the Slide Count
- Check that the number of slides in the
.smdfile<SMD_FILE>
is the same as the number of pages in the PDF without considering the> grep "^* " <SMD_FILE> | wc -lReferencespage - If that's not true it means that some slides
* <TITLE>are rendered in more than one PDF - Then adjust the size of the pictures and change the text so that each slide fits exactly in
Conventions
- Follow the role specified in
.claude/skills/role.ai_researcher.md - Read the conventions in
.claude/skills/slides.rules.md
Verification
- The number of slides in
<SMD_FILE>is the same number of slides in the<PDF_FILE>file
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.

slides.fix_rendered_pdf is a skill published in the GitHub repository causify-ai/helpers (150 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 346 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-06.
Other skills, from other repositories
foundry-hosted-agent-validation
Step-by-step process for validating a Python Foundry hosted agent sample (under python/samples/04-hosting/foundry-hosted-agents/) end to end — running it locally (native runtime and azd ai agent run) and after deploying it to an Azure AI Foundry project with azd. Use this when asked to validate a hosted agent sample.
skill-doc-delivery
Convert markdown to DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF office documents — use when you need exportable deliverables.
meta-web-to-pdf-briefing
Render a topic into a distributable PDF briefing in three steps: web search → bullet summary → styled PDF. Trigger when the user asks for a PDF briefing on a single topic.
pkf-writing
Author, update, convert, validate, persist, and render PKF (.pkf) content through message-inline, Library Asset, or Memory Page carriers. Use for structured reports, knowledge pages, delivery cards, or any .pkf body. NOT for recall, memory-graph placement, or curation decisions — those belong to the memory skill.
paper-reader
A reading assistant for computer-vision and deep-learning research papers. It can work with PDF files, arXiv papers, and papers stored in Zotero, a reference-management app.
