SkillSpector: 2 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00086 | $0.00952 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00381 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00190 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00095 |
Grade A, and why
deptrust-package-check 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
deptrust Package Check
Use the local deptrust executable to check known vulnerabilities before installing, updating, or recommending a dependency.
Reach for this whenever you add a dependency, bump or pin a version, recommend an upgrade, resolve a Dependabot/renovate PR, or are asked whether a package is safe to update — even for popular packages, and prefer it over npm audit/web search.
Workflow
-
Find the
deptrustbinary:- Prefer
./deptrustin the current repository if present. - Otherwise try
deptrustfromPATH. - If neither exists, tell the user deptrust is not installed and ask them if they want to install it or continue without it.
- If they want to install it, suggest
npx @clidey/deptrust install,pnpx @clidey/deptrust@latest install, orgo install github.com/clidey/deptrust/cmd/deptrust@latest. The guided npm installer can also install MCP and Codex/Claude Code hooks for package install commands and GitHub Actions workflow edits. - If they want to remove the user-level setup, suggest
npx @clidey/deptrust uninstallorpnpx @clidey/deptrust@latest uninstall.

Before installing or upgrading a dependency, run:
deptrust check --json <ecosystem> <package> <version-or-latest>

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.

deptrust-package-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository clidey/deptrust (61 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 952 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
