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 high
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 →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 41 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
- medium MCP Rug Pull · line 27 npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.Fix: Pin the version: npx @scope/[email protected]
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 | $0.00104 | $0.01297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00259 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00130 |
Grade A, and why
hive-build-onboarding scanned grade A 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 10d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $HIVE_API_KEY" \ How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
hive-build-onboarding — Get a Hive API Key
Get the user from "no key" to a verified working key without the secret ever appearing in chat, logs, screenshots, or committed files.
Hive uses passwordless magic-link auth — no username/password, no credit card to start. Free Demo tier: 10,000 credits/month, 30 req/min.
Path 1 — browser sign-in (preferred)
If the user has a browser available on the same machine as their terminal:
npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --browser
What happens:
- The CLI generates a random
statetoken (CSRF guard) and starts a localhost listener on a random port (127.0.0.1). - It opens the user's browser at
https://hiveintelligence.xyz/auth/cli?callback_port=<port>&state=<state>. - The user signs in with magic-link (one-time email link, no password). If they don't have an account, one is created.
- The site issues a fresh API key and redirects the browser to
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback?key=<key>&email=<email>&state=<state>. - The CLI verifies the returned
statematches (rejects on mismatch), then stores the key in~/.config/hive/credentials.jsonwith0600permissions (override the directory withHIVE_CONFIG_DIR). - The browser tab shows an "Authenticated" page the user can close.
The key never lives on the clipboard. If a step fails, the CLI
surfaces the exact error (port collision, browser refused to open,
state mismatch, or a 5-minute timeout).
Path 2 — Dashboard copy-paste (fallback for headless)
If init --browser won't work (CI environment, SSH session, Docker
container, restricted network):
- From any machine with a browser, open
https://www.hiveintelligence.xyz/dashboard/keys. - Click "Sign in" and enter the user's email.
- Open the magic-link email and click through. Account is created automatically if it doesn't exist.
- Click "Create key" → name it (e.g., "production-CI") → copy the shown secret.
- Set
HIVE_API_KEY=hive_live_…in the headless environment's env.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 131 lines · 104 tokens per session scan A 46f4ec5da12d
hive-build-onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository hive-intel/hive-sdk (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 1,297 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
