    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

project-namer 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.

Project Namer

Overview

Guide users from vague naming requirements to a memorable, unique name through structured exploration of scope, constraints, and style preferences.

When to Use

  • Naming a new repository, project, tool, or product
  • User is unsure what to call something
  • User rejects initial suggestions as "too generic" or "too vendor-specific"

Core Workflow

digraph naming {
  rankdir=TB;
  "Understand scope" -> "Clarify constraints" -> "Offer style categories" -> "Generate options" -> "Iterate on feedback" -> "Converge";
  "Iterate on feedback" -> "Offer style categories" [label="style shift"];
  "Iterate on feedback" -> "Generate options" [label="refine"];
}

1. Understand Scope

Ask what the project contains and does:

  • Single purpose or multi-purpose?
  • What goes in it? (code, docs, tools, configs)
  • Who uses it? (personal, team, public)

2. Clarify Constraints

Identify naming constraints:

  • Vendor lock-in concerns? (avoid "claude-tools", "openai-kit")
  • Technical limits? (npm name available, no special chars)
  • Must work as CLI command? (short, typeable)

3. Offer Style Categories

Present naming styles - let user pick direction:

Style Examples When to suggest
Functional toolkit, dev-tools, workflows User wants clarity over personality
Character/Butler friday, jeeves, pennyworth User wants personality, memorability
Compound devbox, workstation, codekit Balance of clear + catchy
Metaphor forge, lighthouse, compass Evokes purpose without stating it
Coined vercel, kubectl, nginx Maximum uniqueness, brand potential

4. Generate Options

Within chosen style, generate 5-8 options. For each:

  • Keep short (1-2 syllables preferred)
  • Easy to pronounce (no awkward consonant clusters)
  • Easy to type (avoid special chars, unusual spellings)
  • Room to grow (not too narrow in scope)

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.
