Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
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 →
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 101 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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 | $0.00076 | $0.02193 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.01097 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00439 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00219 |
Grade B, and why
construction-agent 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 13d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Construction Agent — Email → Project Management Pipeline
Overview
A reference implementation of an AI agent that runs the back-office of a construction company. The agent orchestrates between three systems a construction business already uses:
- Email (Google Workspace / Gmail) — where leads, estimates, and project documents arrive
- File storage (Google Drive) — where email attachments are auto-dumped by an existing script
- Project management (JobTread, or similar PM system) — where files and tasks need to end up
The agent bridges the gap: it monitors Drive for new files, downloads them, uploads them to the PM system, and notifies the owner — all through text messages the owner already reads.
For who: A construction or trades business (general contractor, remodeler, specialty trade) where:
- The owner gets project documents via email
- Email attachments are dumped to a Drive folder (by a separate script or filter)
- Files need to get into a PM system (JobTread, Procore, Buildertrend, etc.)
- The owner doesn't want to manually download and re-upload everything
When to Use
- A customer or subcontractor emails a project document (plans, permits, invoices, photos)
- The owner asks "what's in the inbox?" or "what came in today?"
- A scheduled cron checks for new files to route to the PM system
- The owner wants a morning briefing: today's tasks, deadlines, new emails
- The owner needs a project status check from the PM system
The Pattern
Every action follows the same philosophy as all Mom-n-Pop skills:
- Agent drafts — the agent reads email, prepares file uploads, drafts replies
- Owner approves — the owner gets a Telegram message, confirms before anything is sent
- Agent executes — only after approval does anything go out
The exception is file routing (Drive → PM system), which runs autonomously on a cron because it's non-destructive (files are moved, not deleted; originals are preserved). The owner still gets a notification of what was routed.
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 13d ago First seen · 190 lines · 76 tokens per session scan B 2b8e17666d77
construction-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository hewi333/Mom-n-Pop-Skills (120 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 2,193 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
