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

review-skill 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 5d 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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Review

Review Agent Skill PRs for structural validity, design quality, and marketplace consistency.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS: Output file path for review results (required, passed by the calling harness or the user)
  • --base <branch>: Base branch for diff comparison (default: main)

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract the output path from $ARGUMENTS. If no path is provided, default to .review-output.md. Extract --base if provided, otherwise default to main.

Step 2: Identify Changed Skills

git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD <base>)..<HEAD> | grep -E '(SKILL\.md|skills/[^/]+/)'

Group changed files by skill directory. Each unique skill directory is a review target. If no skill files changed, write "No skill files changed" to the output path and stop.

Step 3: Read Each Changed Skill End-to-End

For each changed skill:

  1. Read the full SKILL.md (not just diff lines)
  2. Read all files in the skill directory (references, scripts)
  3. Note the parent plugin directory and locate its plugin.json

Step 4: Run Structural Checks (HIGH Confidence)

Apply every check in references/structural-checks.md. These are binary pass/fail — violations are clear-cut.

Structural violations are HIGH confidence because they can be verified mechanically.

Step 5: Run Design Checks (MEDIUM Confidence)

Apply every check in references/design-checks.md. These require judgment — flag only when the issue is clear, not when the approach is merely different from what you'd choose.

Design issues are MEDIUM confidence because they involve subjective assessment.

Step 6: Run Marketplace Checks (HIGH Confidence)

Apply every check in references/marketplace-checks.md. These verify the skill integrates correctly with the marketplace it belongs to.

Marketplace violations are HIGH confidence because they can be verified by reading manifest files.

Files

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.
