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

awesome-updater 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/awesome_skills.py, scripts/validate-awesome-updater.sh, tests/test_awesome_skills.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Awesome Updater

Use this skill to install and keep Awesome NanoClaw Skills up to date.

The updater is intentionally central: individual skills should not each reimplement update logic. Installed skills carry a .awesome-skill.json metadata file, and this skill's script reads that metadata to check for content-level skill updates, discover newly added first-party skills, apply updates, and preserve rollback backups.

Defaults

  • update_check: true
  • auto_upgrade: true
  • discover_new: true
  • branch: main
  • hash algorithm: sha256 over exact skill file bytes and normalized relative paths
  • update throttle: one update check per skill per hour unless --force is used
  • discover throttle: one package-wide discover per hour unless --force is used

Auto-upgrade and first-party discovery are on by default for security: fixes to unsafe instructions, dependencies, validation logic, install procedures, or newly published curated skills should reach installed agents without requiring manual action.

Update decisions are based on the managed skill's content hash, not only on the repository commit. A repository commit that changes another skill should update last_seen_commit provenance but must not replace or back up an unchanged skill.

Help Mode

If the user invokes /awesome-updater help, /awesome-updater examples, or asks how to use this skill, explain usage instead of installing, checking, or configuring anything.

The help response should include:

  • what Awesome Updater does;
  • when to use it;
  • what it can modify;
  • command forms for install, discover, check, config, and /nanoskills updates;
  • what input the user should provide;
  • what output the user gets;
  • curated examples;
  • contextual examples when the visible conversation includes a useful skill name or runtime skills directory.

Curated examples:

  • /awesome-updater help
  • /nanoskills updates
  • /awesome-updater discover
  • /awesome-updater check feba-board

4 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.
