public-source-release-audit

A review for a Git repository before its source code is published or used in a public pull request. It checks the current files for common credentials, private keys, and local-machine path leaks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the repository verifier, scan tracked and untracked files, and review a candidate release for supported credential and privacy leaks.
Why use it?
It helps catch secrets and private information that could be exposed publicly, while keeping its claims limited to the checks it actually performs.

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

public-source-release-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_current_source.rb, tests/test_check_current_source.rb), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Public-Source Release Audit

Use this skill to answer a narrow question honestly: does the current source candidate contain a supported high-confidence leak, and have the separate human and GitHub-native release checks been confirmed?

Automated Current-Source Check

Run the repository's own verifier when it exists. Then run:

ruby <skill-directory>/scripts/check_current_source.rb <repository>

The checker reads exact Git-index blobs so an unstaged replacement cannot hide the candidate. It also scans tracked and non-ignored untracked worktree files for early feedback. It reports only paths and finding categories, never the matched content.

The supported lexical forms are deliberately small:

  • PEM, OpenSSH, PGP, and PuTTY private-key headers;
  • GitHub ghp_, gho_, ghu_, ghs_, ghr_, and github_pat_ token prefixes;
  • AWS AKIA/ASIA access-key IDs and canonical named 40-character secret access-key values;
  • OpenAI sk- and sk-proj- key prefixes;
  • explicit Authorization: Bearer header or map values; and
  • literal, commonly source-escaped, or file://-wrapped rooted POSIX families Users/<name>, var/root, private/var/root, home/<name>, and root, plus drive-letter Users\\<name> paths, including UTF-8 profile names and bounded environment and command-option values.

The home-path rule covers literal paths and common source escaping for POSIX slashes and Windows backslashes. It does not decode URL-encoded content. The credential map rules inspect direct source text; they do not decode nested escaped documents.

Stage all intended release changes before relying on the candidate result. Ignored files and submodule contents are outside this check. The checker does not inspect Git history. Git LFS pointers fail the check because their external objects require separate review. Missing index blobs, including unavailable partial-clone objects, fail without network fetching. A symlink's own target text is scanned, while a symlinked parent component fails without reading outside the repository. Git's optional locks are disabled so read-only index operations do not freshen split-index metadata, and inherited Git trace-file destinations are cleared. BOM-marked UTF-16 source also requires separate review; the checker does not transcode or unpack content.

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.

public-source-release-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository fiveonecode/agent-skills (19 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,116 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
