sysinternals

sysinternals is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dinglebear-ai/dendrite. It costs 232 tokens per session (1,971 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A remote Windows administration tool for Microsoft Sysinternals command-line utilities. It can inspect processes, open file handles, startup programs, network connections, signatures, permissions, and alternate data streams over SSH.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find or stop processes, see which programs hold files open, audit startup entries and permissions, inspect network connections, verify files, and find hidden alternate data streams.
Why use it?
Investigating a Windows machine often requires several separate diagnostic checks. This groups those checks into one remote workflow.

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

sysinternals scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directorieslowAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

For persistence across sessions, set in `~/.claude/settings.json` under `env`.

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

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.
