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 →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

wow-digest 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 5 executable files (scripts/enrich.py, scripts/feedback.py, scripts/ingest.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.

Purpose

Pull last 24h of newsletters (email) and Telegram channel posts, filter noise, score survivors for genuine surprise against the user's focus and recent research, and append 3-7 WOW items to today's daily note.

Workflow

  1. Run scripts/ingest.py to pull and normalize candidates from all sources
  2. Run scripts/enrich.py to fetch full content for link-only newsletters (LinkedIn, beehiiv, Substack)
  3. Run scripts/salience_filter.py to drop obvious noise (marketing, payments, greetings)
  4. Run scripts/wow_score.py on filtered candidates to score and select WOW items
  5. Append selected items to today's daily note under ## Reading
  6. Save raw candidates to .wow-eval/candidates/YYYYMMDD.jsonl for replay
  7. Archive processed newsletter emails via GWS
  8. During eval phase: run scripts/feedback.py to collect human verdicts

Manual run

python3 scripts/ingest.py --days 1 --output /tmp/wow-candidates.jsonl
python3 scripts/enrich.py --input /tmp/wow-candidates.jsonl --output /tmp/wow-enriched.jsonl
python3 scripts/salience_filter.py --input /tmp/wow-enriched.jsonl --output /tmp/wow-filtered.jsonl
python3 scripts/wow_score.py --input /tmp/wow-filtered.jsonl --output /tmp/wow-selected.json
# Then the skill appends to daily note and archives emails

Dry-Run Mode

When the user says /wow-digest --dry-run or "preview the digest", run the full pipeline but:

  1. Do NOT append to daily note
  2. Do NOT archive emails
  3. Instead, print the selected items with scores and hooks directly in the conversation

This lets the user preview what would be appended without side effects.

Context Sourcing

The scoring prompt uses three context signals from the vault (~/Brains/brain/):

  • {focus} — From My Focus.md, sections ## Current, ## Base, ## Primary (stops at ## Nice to have). This tells the scorer what the user cares about right now.
  • {research} — From ai-research/*.md files (last 30 days), parsed from filenames (YYYYMMDD-topic.md) and research_topic: frontmatter. Shows what the user has already investigated.
  • {recent_topics} — From Daily/YYYYMMDD.md headings (last 7 days), excluding ## do and ## log. Shows recent daily note themes.

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.
