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 →

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00076 $0.02635

Security

Grade A, and why

google-chat-messages 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (assets/card-builder.ts, assets/types.ts, assets/webhook-sender.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Google Chat Messages

Send messages to Google Chat spaces via incoming webhooks. Produces text messages, rich cards (cardsV2), and threaded replies.

What You Produce

  • Text messages with Google Chat formatting
  • Rich card messages (cardsV2) with headers, sections, widgets
  • Threaded conversations
  • Reusable webhook sender utility

Workflow

Step 1: Get Webhook URL

In Google Chat:

  1. Open a Space > click space name > Manage webhooks
  2. Create webhook (name it, optionally add avatar URL)
  3. Copy the webhook URL

Store the URL as an environment variable or in your secrets manager — never hardcode.

Step 2: Choose Message Type

Need Type Complexity
Simple notification Text message Low
Structured info (status, digest) Card message (cardsV2) Medium
Ongoing updates Threaded replies Medium
Action buttons (open URL) Card with buttonList Medium

Step 3: Send the Message

Use assets/webhook-sender.ts for the sender utility. Use assets/card-builder.ts for structured card construction.

Text Formatting

Google Chat does NOT use standard Markdown.

Format Syntax Example
Bold *text* *important*
Italic _text_ _emphasis_
Strikethrough ~text~ ~removed~
Monospace `text` `code`
Code block ```text``` Multi-line code
Link <url|text> <https://example.com|Click here>
Mention user <users/USER_ID> <users/123456>
Mention all <users/all> <users/all>

Not supported: **double asterisks**, headings (###), blockquotes, tables, images inline.

Text Message Example

await sendText(webhookUrl, '*Build Complete*\n\nBranch: `main`\nStatus: Passed\n<https://ci.example.com/123|View Build>');

cardsV2 Structure

Cards use the cardsV2 format (recommended over legacy cards).

const message = {
  cardsV2: [{
    cardId: 'unique-id',
    card: {
      header: {
        title: 'Card Title',
        subtitle: 'Optional subtitle',
        imageUrl: 'https://example.com/icon.png',
        imageType: 'CIRCLE'  // or 'SQUARE'
      },
      sections: [{
        header: 'Section Title',  // optional
        widgets: [
          // widgets go here
        ]
      }]
    }
  }]
};

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

Changes

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.
