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 →

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 B, and why

web-fetch scanned grade B with 2 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 8d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

- JSON: `curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}' "<url>"`

What it actually says

Web Fetch

Fetch web content using curl.

Fetch page content

  • HTML: curl -sL "<url>"
  • Plain text (strip tags): curl -sL "<url>" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | head -100
  • Headers only: curl -sI "<url>"
  • Follow redirects: curl -sL "<url>" (the -L flag follows redirects)
  • JSON API: curl -s "<url>" | jq .

Download files

  • Save with original name: curl -sLO "<url>"
  • Save with custom name: curl -sL -o <filename> "<url>"

POST requests

  • JSON: curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}' "<url>"
  • Form data: curl -s -X POST -d "key=value" "<url>"

Tips

  • Always use -s (silent) to suppress progress bars
  • Use -L to follow redirects
  • Pipe through head -100 for large pages to avoid flooding output
  • Use jq for JSON responses when available

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.
