SkillSpector: 6 findings, up to high
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 →
- high YARA Match · line 17 YARA rule matched a known malware signature (reverse shell, backdoor, ransomware, C2 framework, or info stealer).Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.
- medium MCP Rug Pull · line 37 npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.Fix: Pin the version: npx @scope/[email protected]
- medium MCP Rug Pull · line 96 npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.Fix: Pin the version: npx @scope/[email protected]
- medium Prompt Injection · line 151 Subtle instructions detected that may alter agent decision-making or introduce hidden biases.Fix: Review content for implicit steering or bias. Ensure instructions are explicit and align with the skill's stated purpose.
- medium Memory Poisoning · line 170 Skill attempts to fill the context window with filler content, displacing legitimate instructions and safety constraints. This can degrade agent performance or bypass safety boundaries.Fix: Implement context-window management that detects and rejects padding or stuffing attempts. Prioritize system instructions over user-injected content.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 222 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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 | $0.00042 | $0.06828 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.03414 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01366 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00683 |
Grade A, and why
browser-automation 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 today.
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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Browser Automation
Control a dedicated Chromium browser via playwright-cli from the terminal. Token-efficient: commands return concise output, not verbose accessibility trees.
Purpose
Operate a real browser session: navigate, click, fill forms, extract data, and call internal site APIs using the browser's cookies. Covers generic browser operations plus site-specific guides (Gmail, LinkedIn, Teams, Jira, Teamtailor, Humand.co) loaded on demand.
Use for: automating web apps that require login, scraping authenticated sites, filling forms, extracting data, navigating SPAs, job search automation, inbox management.
Do NOT use for: desktop apps, mobile emulators, API-only integrations without a browser, or captcha solving (defer to the user).
KEYBOARD FIRST (non-negotiable)
Keyboard navigation is the DEFAULT. Clicks are the FALLBACK. This is not a preference — it is the core operating principle of this skill.
Why keyboard over clicks
- Stability: Keyboard shortcuts don't depend on CSS selectors, DOM structure, or
[ref=eXXX]identifiers that change on every page mutation. A shortcut that works today will work tomorrow. A selector that works today may break tonight. - Token efficiency:
press Enteris 1 command.snapshot+find "Send"+click e42is 3 commands and a huge snapshot. Shortcuts skip the snapshot-find-click pipeline entirely. - Reliability: Shortcuts fire the app's intended action handler directly. Clicks on synthetic DOM elements may not trigger the right event sequence (React apps, custom widgets, shadow DOM).
- Speed: One keypress vs. snapshot + parse + find + click. Less latency, fewer failure points.
Universal keyboard patterns (work in every web app)
These patterns are universal — they work in Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Outlook, every form, every modal. Use them BEFORE looking for app-specific shortcuts.
| Pattern | Keys | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Submit form | Enter |
Submit a form with focus on the submit button or input |
| Submit form (textarea) | Ctrl+Enter |
Submit when focus is in a textarea (Gmail, WhatsApp, LinkedIn) |
| Line break in message | Shift+Enter |
New line without sending (works in every chat app) |
| Move between fields | Tab / Shift+Tab |
Next/previous form field — no need to click each input |
| Close modal/dialog | Escape |
Dismiss popups, dialogs, dropdowns, menus |
| Focus search/command bar | Ctrl+K or / |
Most apps use one of these for search or command palette |
| Select all text in field | Ctrl+A |
Replace entire field content without clearing manually |
| Open link in new tab | Ctrl+Enter (on link) |
Middle-click equivalent |
| Navigate within list | Arrow Up / Arrow Down |
Move through email lists, chat lists, search results |
| Confirm dialog | Enter |
Accept confirm dialogs, "Are you sure?" prompts |
| Cancel dialog | Escape |
Cancel instead of confirm |

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.

browser-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository galiprandi/job-seeker (26 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 6,828 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
