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 →

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 46
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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

onboarding-ux 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 11d 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 — 330 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboarding UX

Audit a web app for onboarding gaps, then generate the in-app guidance to fix them. The goal: a new user should never stare at a blank screen wondering what to do.

The Problem This Solves

You've built the features. They work. But when a new user logs in for the first time, they see:

  • Empty tables with column headers and nothing else
  • Sidebars full of labels that mean nothing to them yet
  • No indication of where to start or what the app is for
  • Features they don't know exist because nothing points to them

This skill finds those gaps and produces the content and code to fill them.

Browser Tool Detection

Same as ux-audit — detect Chrome MCP, Playwright MCP, or playwright-cli. See ux-audit's browser-tools.md reference if needed.

URL Resolution

Same as ux-audit — prefer deployed/live URL over localhost. Check wrangler.jsonc, CLAUDE.md, or running dev server.

Workflow

Phase 1: Audit — Find the Gaps

Browse the app as a brand new user. On every page, evaluate:

Empty States

Navigate to every list/table/collection page. For each:

Check Good Bad
What does a zero-data page show? "No clients yet. Add your first client to get started." + CTA button Empty table with column headers, or blank white space
Is there a clear action? Button: "Add your first [thing]" Nothing — user has to find the action in the nav or a menu
Does it explain the feature? "Clients are the people and businesses you work with. Add one to start tracking your relationships." Just an empty container
Is the empty state designed? Illustration or icon, helpful copy, prominent CTA Identical to the populated state minus the data
First Impression

Log in as a new user (or clear state to simulate). Evaluate:

Check What to look for
Landing page Does the dashboard/home show something useful or is it empty?
Orientation Within 10 seconds, do I know what this app does and where to start?
First action Is the #1 thing I should do obvious and prominent?
Cognitive load How many menu items, buttons, and options compete for attention?
Welcome content Is there a welcome message, tour, or getting-started guide? Or just the raw app?

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.
