etetoolkit

etetoolkit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jimmc414/Kosmos. It costs 46 tokens per session (4,512 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A toolkit for working with phylogenetic trees, diagrams that show how species or genes are related through evolution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manipulate Newick or NHX trees, study orthologs and paralogs, query NCBI taxonomy, detect evolutionary events, and create PDF or SVG visualizations.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work involved in editing tree files, detecting evolutionary events, and connecting genes with taxonomic information.

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 B, and why

etetoolkit scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/quick_visualize.py, scripts/tree_operations.py), 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What ships with it

5 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.

etetoolkit is a skill published in the GitHub repository jimmc414/Kosmos (577 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 4,512 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
