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 Agent Snooping · line 104
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 108
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

blog-discourse 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.

Blog Discourse: Real Discourse Research, API-Free

blog-discourse is the recency + engagement lens that blog-researcher (authority-first) lacks. It asks: in the last 30 days, what are practitioners and customers actually saying about this topic on the public web?

This sub-skill uses WebSearch with platform-targeted site operators. No API keys required.

Commands

Command Purpose
/blog discourse <topic> Produce a discourse brief at project-root DISCOURSE.md
/blog discourse <topic> --days 90 Widen the freshness window from 30 to 90 days
/blog discourse <topic> --feed-into brief Run the brief, then immediately invoke /blog brief <topic> with DISCOURSE.md auto-loaded
/blog discourse <topic> --feed-into write Run the brief, then invoke /blog write <topic>
/blog discourse <topic> --feed-into strategy Run the brief, then invoke /blog strategy <topic>
/blog discourse <topic> --input results.json Skip search; build the brief from a pre-gathered results file. The flag name matches scripts/discourse_research.py --input directly.

Workflow

Phase 0: Topic Pre-Flight (mandatory)

Before any search, run the four keyword-trap checks from skills/blog/references/research-quality.md (Class 1 demographic shopping, Class 2 numeric trap, Class 3 overly-literal phrase, Class 4 generic single-noun). If the topic matches a class:

  1. Emit a single one-line note: Pre-Flight: matched Class N. Action: <reframe or clarifying question>.
  2. If the action is a clarifying question, STOP and wait for the user.
  3. If the action is a reframe, proceed with the reframed query and document the reframe in the brief.

Running discourse research on a trap topic wastes WebSearch calls and produces noise.

Phase 1: Topic Decomposition (Step 0.55)

For named-entity topics, decompose into discrete searchable queries. Use the checklist from research-quality.md:

  • Primary entity (official statements, vendor site)
  • Counter-perspective (critics, competitors, contrarians)
  • Practitioner discourse (subreddits, forums, dev.to, Medium)
  • Tangential entities (founder, parent org, related products)
  • Time anchor (last 30 or 90 days)

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.
