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 | $0.00051 | $0.01802 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00901 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00360 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00180 |
Grade A, and why
enforcing-password-policies 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to enforcing-password-policies — 0 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.

Enforcing Password Policies
Configures and enforces password policies on CockroachDB clusters by setting minimum password length and bcrypt hash cost. Ensures password strength meets organizational and compliance requirements.
When to Use This Skill
- Strengthening password requirements to meet compliance standards (SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-63B)
- Setting up password policies for a new production cluster
- Responding to a security audit finding about weak password policies
- Increasing bcrypt hash cost to improve resistance against brute-force attacks
Prerequisites
- SQL access with admin role (required to modify cluster settings)
- Understanding of impact: Password policy changes affect new passwords only, not existing passwords
Check your access:
SELECT member FROM [SHOW GRANTS ON ROLE admin] WHERE member = current_user();
Steps
1. Check Current Password Policy Settings
-- Minimum password length
SHOW CLUSTER SETTING server.user_login.min_password_length;
-- Password hash cost (bcrypt rounds)
SHOW CLUSTER SETTING server.user_login.password_hashes.default_cost.crdb_bcrypt;
See SQL queries reference for additional password-related queries.
2. Set Minimum Password Length
-- Set minimum password length to 12 characters (recommended)
SET CLUSTER SETTING server.user_login.min_password_length = 12;
Recommended minimums by compliance framework:
| Framework | Minimum Length | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| NIST 800-63B | 8 characters | 12+ recommended |
| SOC 2 | 8 characters | 12+ recommended |
| HIPAA | 8 characters | 12+ recommended |
| PCI DSS | 7 characters | 12+ recommended |
| Internal best practice | — | 14+ for admin accounts |
3. Configure Hash Cost
The bcrypt hash cost controls how computationally expensive password hashing is. Higher values make brute-force attacks slower but increase CPU during authentication.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

enforcing-password-policies is a skill published in the GitHub repository cockroachdb/cursor-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,802 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to enforcing-password-policies, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
