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.

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 | $0.00050 | $0.00370 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00185 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00074 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
check-artifact-reputation 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 yesterday.
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
Check Artifact Reputation
Overview
Gather provenance and intelligence without treating popularity, valid signing, a clean lookup, or a vendor label as a safety verdict. Prefer local identity and vendor sources before sending data to third parties.
Read references/reputation-evidence.md for source ordering and interpretation.
Workflow
-
Fix identity.
- Record artifact hashes, signer/certificate, exact version, source URL, domain, resolved destinations, and acquisition time.
-
Check local evidence.
- Inspect quarantine/provenance, signature/notarization, known installation records, local security detections, and expected vendor distribution paths.
-
Check authoritative sources.
- Prefer vendor advisories, release checksums/signatures, certificate status, official repositories, and current platform security sources.
- Date each lookup.
-
Decide whether external intelligence is appropriate.
- Explain whether the service receives only a hash/domain or may upload/retain the artifact.
- Obtain explicit approval before sending private artifacts, URLs, customer data, or unknown binaries.
-
Correlate results.
- Record detection names, engines/sources, first/last seen, submission context, prevalence, relations, and conflicting classifications.
- Distinguish “not present” from “known benign.”
-
Feed behavior analysis.
- Use reputation to prioritize static/dynamic checks, not replace them.
Output
Return identity, sources/date, privacy decision, reputation observations, conflicts, interpretation limits, confidence effect, and next behavioral check.
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.
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.

check-artifact-reputation is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 370 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.

pipeline
Use when the user wants a feature idea taken end-to-end in one autonomous run — phrases like "run the whole pipeline", "take this feature from idea to finished branch", "brainstorm then build it autonomously", "do everything from idea to merged", "implement all phases without stopping". Triggers when they want…
craft
Use when a product idea is still vague and needs to become a clear definition of what to build — "let's craft an app like X", "help me define what I actually want", "clarify this idea before we plan it". Also use before planning or implementation when requirements, UX, domain behaviour, or technical preferences have…
chief-financial-officer
Owns the financial position: planning, budgeting, forecasting, unit economics, cash, and the numbers the business is run and reported on. Use this to build or challenge a budget, model a decision's financial consequence, assess unit economics or runway, evaluate an investment or spend request, set financial controls…
chief-strategy-officer
Owns where the business plays and how it wins over a multi-year horizon — portfolio choices, corporate development, strategic partnerships, and planning under uncertainty. Use this for a decision about which markets or businesses to be in, whether to build, buy, or partner, how to allocate capital across business…
business-growth-consultant
Finds the single constraint currently limiting a business's growth and the highest-leverage moves against it, rather than producing a list of everything that could be improved. Use this when growth has stalled or slowed, when deciding where to spend limited time or budget, when revenue rises but profit does not, when…
ceo-advisor
Pressure-tests a decision, plan, or idea before it is committed to — surfacing the assumption it rests on, the case against it, and what would have to be true for it to work. Use this when weighing options, when a plan needs challenging before commitment, when you have already decided and want a genuine gut check…
