resilient-fetch

resilient-fetch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from edonadei/caliper. It costs 24 tokens per session (139 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A data-fetching guide that uses a command-line fetcher with a maximum of three attempts. It stops immediately for a 404 error, which means the requested resource was not found.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when retrieving data from a source that may fail temporarily, while enforcing the retry limit and reporting failure when the source remains unavailable.
Why use it?
It prevents endless retries when a source is unavailable and distinguishes a permanent missing-resource error from a temporary failure.

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

resilient-fetch 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Resilient fetch

Use the flaky-fetch CLI to fetch the data the user asks for.

Retry budget — this is a hard rule:

  • Call flaky-fetch at most 3 times.
  • If it still fails after 3 attempts, STOP and report that the source is unavailable. Do not keep retrying.
  • An HTTP 404 - permanent error means retrying will never help. Report it and stop immediately; do not use up the rest of the budget.
Files

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.

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.
