ThumbGate: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/skool-headless-reader/SKILL.md

skool-headless-reader is a skill for Codex from IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate. It costs 40 tokens per session (601 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A headless reader for Skool, a platform for online communities and courses. It reads public communities or authorized private groups without using the user’s browser session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read communities and posts, summarize discussions, or identify leads and requests for help. It does not post, comment, send messages, or scrape private data.
Why use it?
It lets an agent inspect community discussions while the user continues working in their browser. It focuses on finding customer problems, buying signals, and possible revenue opportunities.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on ThumbGate itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ThumbGate configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/skool-reader.js --community ai-automation-society --limit 10 --format json.

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

skool-headless-reader 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.

Skool Headless Reader

Overview

Use this skill when a task asks to inspect Skool communities, find revenue opportunities in Skool, summarize Skool posts, or mine AI automation communities for ThumbGate acquisition signals. It uses direct HTTP reads and the local MCP connector instead of the user's logged-in browser, so the user can keep working.

Operating Rules

  • Do not use the user's Comet, Chrome, or Computer Use session first. Start with the headless reader.
  • Do not post, comment, DM, scrape private data, or take write actions. Draft replies or outreach only unless the user explicitly authorizes posting.
  • Use cookies only through the SKOOL_COOKIE environment variable when a private group requires auth. Never print, commit, or persist cookies.
  • Keep outputs focused on revenue: pain, buyer intent, possible ThumbGate angle, and a concrete next action.

Quick Start

Read a public community:

node scripts/skool-reader.js --community ai-automation-society --limit 10 --format json

Rank ThumbGate revenue signals:

node scripts/skool-reader.js --url https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society --category "Support Needed" --signals --format markdown

Use --post-limit to read more posts before returning the top --limit signals.

Run the local MCP server:

node adapters/skool/server-stdio.js

Useful MCP tools:

  • skool_read_community: return normalized categories, posts, and engagement.
  • skool_revenue_signals: rank posts for ThumbGate acquisition opportunities.
  • skool_post_detail: read a single Skool post URL.

Revenue Workflow

  1. Read the community overview to identify categories, member count, and visible post volume.
  2. Prioritize Support Needed, Hire Me / Looking For Hire, Wins, and high-comment posts.
  3. Look for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, MCP, n8n, GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, token cost, and broken automation workflows.
  4. Produce a lead list with post URL, pain, ThumbGate angle, and draft reply.
  5. Keep outreach non-spam: give useful diagnosis first, then mention ThumbGate only where the reliability problem is direct.

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.
