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 →

    Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.

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

prompt-improver scanned grade B 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 12d 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.

Prompt Improver

Transform vague prompts into clear, specific, actionable ones for better AI responses.

Workflow

  1. Gather context - Use AskUserQuestion to clarify:

    • Target platform (Claude Code, ChatGPT, API, image gen)
    • Priority (accuracy, speed, depth, creativity)
    • Missing context (technical stack, constraints, examples)
  2. Analyze - Identify what's unclear, missing, or ambiguous

  3. Improve - Apply the framework (see references/framework.md)

  4. Present - Show improved prompt with key changes explained

  5. Refine - Ask if user wants adjustments

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.
