SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Prompt Injection · line 54
    Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 4
    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

migrating-wpf-to-dotnet 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 12d 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.

WPF .NET Framework → .NET Migration

1. Migration Checklist

1.1 Pre-Migration

  • Verify .NET Framework version (4.6.1+ recommended)
  • Check NuGet package .NET compatibility
  • Verify third-party library .NET versions
  • Check Windows Forms interop usage
  • Check WCF client usage
  • Check ClickOnce deployment usage

1.2 Migration

  • Convert project file to SDK style
  • NuGet packages.config → PackageReference
  • Clean up AssemblyInfo.cs
  • app.config → appsettings.json (optional)
  • Build and fix errors
  • Run tests

1.3 Post-Migration

  • Test self-contained deployment
  • Test single-file deployment
  • Ready to Run (R2R) optimization
  • Performance benchmark
