eyebite

eyebite is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts. It costs 106 tokens per session (770 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A guide for focusing on one system, service, feature, or user at a time and selectively reducing its capabilities. The rest of the system can continue operating.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn off a dangerous feature, throttle a misbehaving API user, or disable selected attack paths while keeping other functions available.
Why use it?
It avoids shutting everything down when only one function or target is causing trouble. This supports controlled responses during incidents or risky behavior.

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

eyebite 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 9d 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.

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.

Eyebite

Fix your attention on a target and selectively degrade its capabilities.

What This Skill Does

In D&D, Eyebite lets you focus on one creature per turn and inflict sleep, panic, or sickness through sustained eye contact. The real-world version is targeted capability reduction: focused analysis that identifies and disables specific functions of a system, service, or adversary. Feature flagging a dangerous capability off. Selectively throttling a misbehaving API consumer. Disabling specific attack vectors during an incident. Eyebite requires sustained focus on a single target — it is not a broadcast weapon. In this grimoire, Eyebite is treated as a metaphorical spell with a prototype delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Eyebite (spell).

When To Use

  • A specific system, service, or feature needs to be selectively degraded rather than fully shut down.
  • You are responding to an incident and need to disable specific capabilities while keeping the rest operational.
  • Targeted throttling or feature disabling is more appropriate than a full kill or freeze.

Prerequisites

  • No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
  2. Identify the specific target and the capability you want to degrade or disable.
  3. Assess dependencies — what else relies on the capability you are about to remove?
  4. Execute the selective degradation: feature flag, targeted throttle, capability restriction.
  5. Monitor the target to confirm the degradation is working as intended without cascading side effects.
  6. Document the intervention and set a review point for restoration.
  7. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • Confirmation of which capabilities were degraded and how.
  • A dependency impact assessment.
  • A restoration plan for when the degradation should be reversed.

eyebite is a skill published in the GitHub repository Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts (107 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 770 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
