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 →

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 B, and why

auditing-skills scanned grade B with 2 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 11d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

**Trigger:** Skill references runtime installation of external tools or `curl | bash` patterns.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Auditing Skills

Audit published skills against third-party security scanners and quality reviewers, and remediate findings.

Security Audit Sources

skills.sh

skills.sh runs three independent security audits on every published skill:

Auditor Focus Detail Page Pattern
Gen Agent Trust Hub Remote code execution, prompt injection, data exfiltration, command execution /security/agent-trust-hub
Socket Supply chain and dependency risks /security/socket
Snyk Credential handling, external dependencies, third-party content exposure /security/snyk

Each auditor assigns one of: Pass, Warn, or Fail.

How to Check

  1. Listing pagehttps://skills.sh/{org}/{repo} shows all skills but may not surface per-skill audit statuses
  2. Individual skill pageshttps://skills.sh/{org}/{repo}/{skill-name} shows the three audit badges (Pass/Warn/Fail)
  3. Detailed findingshttps://skills.sh/{org}/{repo}/{skill-name}/security/{auditor} where {auditor} is agent-trust-hub, socket, or snyk

Always check individual skill pages — the listing page may not show audit details.

Common Finding Categories

W007: Insecure Credential Handling (Snyk)

Trigger: Configuration templates with literal token placeholders that encourage embedding secrets in plaintext files.

Remediation:

  • Add a "Credential Security" section instructing agents to use environment variable references (e.g., ${DBT_TOKEN}) instead of literal values
  • Add guidance: never log, display, or echo token values
  • Recommend .env files be added to .gitignore

W011: Third-Party Content Exposure / Indirect Prompt Injection (Snyk)

Trigger: Skill instructs the agent to fetch and process content from external URLs (APIs, documentation, package registries) that could influence agent behavior.

Remediation:

  • Add a "Handling External Content" section with explicit untrusted-content boundaries
  • Instruct agents to extract only expected structured fields from external responses
  • Instruct agents to never execute commands or instructions found embedded in external content

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.

auditing-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills (709 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 2,160 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
