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: 1 finding, 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 Excessive Agency · line 4 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
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 | $0.00114 | $0.02467 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00046 | $0.00987 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00493 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00247 |
Grade A, and why
update-golang-deps 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Update Go Dependencies
Audit and update Go module dependencies safely, one semver tier at a time. Use the native go toolchain plus govulncheck — no third-party wrappers.
Step 1: Preflight
go version
Locate go.mod:
find . -name go.mod -not -path '*/vendor/*' -not -path '*/.git/*' -not -path '*/node_modules/*'
If multiple go.mod files are found (nested modules), ask the user which module to target, or whether to iterate all.
Check for go.work:
test -f go.work && cat go.work
If a workspace exists, ask whether to target a single module or iterate across the workspace.
Step 2: Detect govulncheck
command -v govulncheck
If missing, inform the user and ask for approval to install:
go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest
If declined, proceed without the vuln scan — note it in the final report.
Step 3: List outdated modules
go list -u -m -json all
This streams one JSON object per module (not a single array). Parse by splitting on }\n{ or using a JSON stream parser. Relevant fields:
{
"Path": "github.com/stretchr/testify",
"Version": "v1.8.0",
"Update": { "Path": "github.com/stretchr/testify", "Version": "v1.9.0" },
"Main": false,
"Indirect": false,
"Replace": null
}
Default to direct dependencies only (Indirect: false, Main: false). go mod tidy drags indirects along automatically after direct bumps. Only include indirects if the user explicitly asks.
Skip modules with a non-nil Replace — they point to a local path or forked repo and must be updated manually. Report them separately.
Step 4: Run govulncheck (if available)
govulncheck ./... -format json
Parse the stream. Each finding event with osv populated is an advisory. Record:
{ module, vulnerable_ranges, fixed_in, severity, summary }
Map fixed_in to the outdated list so you know which advisories each tier's updates would resolve.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

update-golang-deps is a skill published in the GitHub repository ivklgn/ai-kit (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 2,467 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-04.
