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 A, and why

whitepaper-audit 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_doc.py, scripts/tests/test_check_doc.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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

whitepaper-audit

Audit a markdown white paper in two lanes and produce one merged, prioritized report.

Inputs

  • Document path (required) — markdown source, not PDF.
  • Stated audience (ask if not given) — severity of audience-fit/jargon-undefined depends on it. Default: "technical practitioners, non-academic".
  • Moderecommend (default) or fix (only on explicit request).

Workflow

1. Lane 1 — deterministic

python3 scripts/check_doc.py <doc.md> --offline [--target-grade N] [--allow ACRO]

Drop --offline to also check http(s) links (HEAD→GET, timeouts; only broken is a finding). Output: JSON findings, schema in DESIGN.md.

2. Lane 2 — LLM judge

Dispatch a subagent (fresh context — never judge a document you wrote in the same context) with references/audit-prompt.md, filling {PATH} and {AUDIENCE}, plus the [judge] criteria from references/checklist.md. The judge returns JSON findings.

Judge calibration rules are binding: verbatim quotes required; no P0 at low confidence; "needs verification", never "factually wrong".

3. Merge

Dedupe by (location, issue type) keeping both lane attributions; sort P0 → P1 → P2, then confidence. Cross-reference: a lane-1 broken link that supports a claim (judge decides materiality) is P1; decorative → P2.

4. Report (default mode)

Write a markdown report: summary verdict, findings table (id, severity, confidence, location, fix), then details. Recommend; do not edit.

5. Fix mode (only when explicitly requested)

Apply fixes P0-first. Any change to code goes through superpowers test-driven-development (test first, watch it fail). Prose fixes: edit, then re-run the full audit and report cleared vs remaining findings.

Evals

Before trusting a new/changed judge prompt, run evals/README.md procedure (planted defects + clean control; pass criteria inside). Lane 1 is covered by scripts/tests/test_check_doc.py (pytest).

Files

  • scripts/check_doc.py — lane 1 (stdlib-only; --help for flags)
  • references/checklist.md — operational criteria, both lanes
  • references/audit-prompt.md — judge prompt template
  • evals/ — judge validation cases + pass criteria
  • DESIGN.md — architecture decisions (v0.2, Codex-audited)

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.
