sanad-agent: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/install-sanad/SKILL.md

install-sanad is a skill for Codex from EastStarAI/sanad-agent. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,923 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

An installation guide for Sanad, a client-and-agent software system, on macOS, Windows, or Linux. It covers both normal releases and development copies of the source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting a machine, installing or updating Sanad, setting up its local or remote Agent, and preparing a source checkout for development.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of changing the wrong installation, losing uncommitted work, or exposing access credentials during setup and updates.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is EastStarAI/sanad-agent's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on sanad-agent itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sanad-agent configures →

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 D, and why

install-sanad scanned grade D with 3 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 yesterday.

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.

Install Sanad

Guide the user from inspection through a verified Sanad installation or update. Keep the release-user and developer-source workflows separate.

Safety Rules

  • Inspect before changing anything. Treat installation, package replacement, service registration, application launch, and Git updates as mutations that require the user's informed approval.
  • Never search an entire home directory or disk for a checkout. Inspect the current directory, a path supplied by the user, and standard installed-command locations only. Ask for the project path when it cannot be identified safely.
  • Never overwrite, reset, clean, stash, commit, or discard a dirty repository unless the user explicitly authorizes that exact action.
  • Never request, quote, log, or reconstruct access tokens, refresh tokens, provider credentials, signing secrets, or user content. For an explicitly authorized agent-operated remote install only, accept the user's complete Add device command containing its short-lived, single-use creation token. Validate the official bootstrap, transmit it without echoing, tracing, or persisting it in project artifacts, and never extract/reconstruct its token. Explain that this consent covers creation-command exposure in chat/tool history and that the generated installer command may use token arguments; do not claim zero exposure. Keep SSH transport arguments credential-free. If the user does not accept that exposure, have them execute it directly or use interactive Portal sign-in. This exception never covers durable credentials.
  • Use only official Sanad sources:
    • repository: https://github.com/EastStarAI/sanad-agent
    • releases: https://github.com/EastStarAI/sanad-agent/releases/latest
    • installers: https://sanad.eaststarai.com/install.sh and https://sanad.eaststarai.com/install.ps1
  • Do not disable operating-system security controls. Read the latest release notes before describing current signing or platform support.
  • Preserve Sanad Home and user workspaces during installation and update.

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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.
