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.

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 Excessive Agency · line 129 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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 | $0.00136 | $0.06816 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00068 | $0.03408 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01363 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00682 |
Grade A, and why
eat-the-broccoli 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 13d 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 — 270 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Eat the Broccoli 🥦
The thorough quality sweep you run before a release, after a refactor, or when something just smells off. Two halves:
- Deterministic tooling — lint, types, tests, dependency CVEs, dead code, silent failures. Catches the known categories.
- The pattern hunt — a checklist of the hard failure classes that pass every test and still ship broken: races, stale caches, silent fallbacks, null-masking, deploy-staleness. Tools can't catch these; only a trained eye plus a "is this by design?" check can.
Portable by design. The deterministic half is tool-agnostic — wire in your stack's linter / typechecker / scanner. The pattern hunt needs no tooling at all; it's a structured way of looking.
Two dials: depth × scope
| Depth | digs into | Scope | covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| quick | lint + fast tests + dep-audit | changed | the diff vs your base branch |
| standard | + dead-code, silent-failure, contract guards, pattern hunt | module | one subsystem / path |
| deep | + full pattern hunt, docs/contract accuracy, multi-pass | repo | everything |
Pick any combination — quick × changed is a pre-commit reflex; deep × repo
is a pre-release gate. State the level + scope you chose, and say what you
skipped — silent truncation reads as "covered everything."
Forks & monorepos: when most of the tree is upstream/vendored,
reposcope drowns in code you don't own. Default tochangedor your owned packages — here the scope dial is load-bearing, not optional.
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.
- 13d ago First seen · 270 lines · 136 tokens per session scan A 12ecec866888
eat-the-broccoli is a skill published in the GitHub repository EmpiricaAI/empirica (246 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 136 tokens to every session and 6,816 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 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.

workflow-builder
Design, build, and maintain autonomous OpenClaw workflows (stewards). Use when creating new workflow agents, improving existing ones, evaluating automation opportunities, or debugging workflow reliability. Triggers on "build a workflow", "create a steward", "automate this process", "workflow audit", "what should I…
smart-delegation
Intelligent task delegation — route to think with deep reasoning for hard problems, or Grok for unfiltered takes. Teaches when to escalate, how to pack context into sub-agent spawns, and how to communicate delays transparently. Default: handle directly on chat (thinking off). Escalate only when the quality gain…
review
A pause before an artifact goes into the world. Reviews external comms, money, calendar, public posts, or send-as-operator actions through a small panel of independent lenses (empathy first) and returns a verdict of pass / edit / hold / block.

Route real repo work to Claude Code instead of editing by hand. Triggers on "claude code" or "cc", and on any request to edit, fix, refactor, or open a PR in a repo outside /.openclaw/workspace. Claude Code picks up the repo's CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, applies its standards, and knows the /ai-coding-config:multi-review…
