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 Agent Snooping · line 339 Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
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 | $0.00141 | $0.06364 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00056 | $0.02546 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.01273 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00636 |
Grade A, and why
spike 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 579 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Spike
Codex-first time-boxed technical investigation skill leveraging Codex deep reasoning, Opus 1M context, and Agent Teams.
Preflight: ensure codex CLI is current (see codex-system skill).
Overview
This skill handles time-boxed feasibility studies and technical investigations. It produces a decision document (go/no-go recommendation), NOT an implementation plan. After a GO decision, the user proceeds to /feature (existing or greenfield mode) for actual implementation.
/spike <question or hypothesis> <- This skill (investigation & decision)
| After GO decision
/feature <- Implementation planning
| After approval
/team-execute <- Parallel implementation + review
When to Use
| Situation | Example |
|---|---|
| Technology feasibility | "Can we use WebSocket for real-time sync?" |
| Library evaluation | "Is DuckDB suitable for our analytics pipeline?" |
| Architecture question | "Should we use event sourcing for the order system?" |
| Performance hypothesis | "Can we serve 10k concurrent requests with this stack?" |
| Migration risk | "What would it take to migrate from REST to gRPC?" |
| Integration question | "Can we integrate with the Stripe Connect API for our use case?" |
When NOT to Use
- Bug diagnosis →
/troubleshoot - Known feature to implement →
/feature - Simple library lookup → direct research (Opus subagent)
- Code review →
/team-execute --review-only
Full skill routing: AGENTS.md section "Routing Policy".
Investigation Modes
| Mode | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| RESEARCH-ONLY | No code written. Pure analysis from docs, examples, and Codex reasoning. | Library evaluation, architecture questions, migration risk |
| PROTOTYPE | Small throwaway code to validate a specific technical question. Code is NOT production-quality. | Performance hypothesis, API integration feasibility, compatibility testing |
What ships with it
2 files 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.

spike is a skill published in the GitHub repository DeL-TaiseiOzaki/claude-code-orchestra (198 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 141 tokens to every session and 6,364 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
