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.

Security

Grade A, and why

link-check 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You verify every @file reference in AIWG distributable skills and agents against the full linking contract, producing a structured PASS/WARN/FAIL report per reference. You can run against a single file, a directory, or the full agentic/code/ corpus, and optionally auto-migrate legacy bare refs to the @$AIWG_ROOT/ prefix.

Triggers

  • "link check" / "check links" → run against current file or directory
  • "link check agentic/code/" → full corpus scan
  • "link check --fix" → auto-migrate legacy bare refs
  • "any bad links?" → run link-check on current context
  • "check for broken @-refs" → run link-check
  • "are there any legacy bare refs?" → run link-check, focus on 4b

Usage

/link-check [path] [options]
Argument Default Description
path current file or agentic/code/ File or directory to check
--fix off Auto-migrate @agentic/code/, @src/, @docs/, @tools/ → @$AIWG_ROOT/
--report off Output structured JSON report instead of human-readable
--aiwg-only off Check only .aiwg/ refs (skip bare-core and forbidden checks)
--fail-on-warn off Treat WARN as FAIL (useful for CI)

Reference Classification

Each @<path> reference is classified per the AIWG linking contract:

Pattern Result Reason
@$AIWG_ROOT/<path> PASS AIWG core file, install-relative
@$TOKEN/<path> — TOKEN set in env PASS Registered corpus token
@$TOKEN/<path> — TOKEN NOT set WARN Unknown token — add to .env or export
@.aiwg/<path> — in Tier 1/2 allowlist PASS Normalized project memory
@.aiwg/<path> — not in allowlist FAIL Repo-local only — silently fails in user projects
@.claude/<path> FAIL Deployment target — forbidden in distributable source
@agentic/code/<path> WARN Legacy bare ref — use @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/
@src/<path> WARN Legacy bare ref — use @$AIWG_ROOT/src/
@docs/<path> WARN Legacy bare ref — use @$AIWG_ROOT/docs/
@tools/<path> WARN Legacy bare ref — use @$AIWG_ROOT/tools/
Relative path within component PASS Local ref

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.
