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 low
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 →
- low Excessive Agency · line 195 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.
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 | $0.00028 | $0.07285 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.03642 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.01457 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00728 |
Grade A, and why
foia-requests 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 12d 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 — 646 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
FOIA and public records requests
Workflows and templates for obtaining government records through freedom of information laws.
Understanding FOIA landscape
Jurisdiction overview
| Level | Law | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Federal | Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552) | Federal executive branch agencies |
| State | Varies by state (e.g., OPRA in NJ, FOIL in NY) | State and local agencies |
| Local | Often covered by state law | Municipal, county, school boards |
Key federal exemptions (U.S. Federal FOIA)
## The 9 federal FOIA exemptions
1. **National security** - Classified information
2. **Internal personnel rules** - Agency housekeeping matters
3. **Statutory exemptions** - Other laws prohibit disclosure
4. **Trade secrets** - Confidential business information
5. **Inter/intra-agency memos** - Deliberative process privilege
6. **Personal privacy** - Personnel, medical files
7. **Law enforcement** - Could interfere with proceedings
8. **Financial institutions** - Bank examination reports
9. **Geological data** - Oil and gas well information
Note: Agencies must segregate and release non-exempt portions

Common state exemptions
State legislatures may be subject to different rules than the rest of their governing bodies:
- Exempt from public records statute (e.g., Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Oregon, Wyoming)
- Excluded from definition of public body (e.g., Georgia, Minnesota)
- Covered by separate statute (e.g., California)
- Allowed to set own policies (e.g., Mississippi, New York)
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.
