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 144
    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.

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

anti-money-laundering 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 13d 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.

Anti-Money Laundering Compliance

Regulatory status current as of June 2026 — verify effective dates, dollar thresholds, and pending rulemakings against current SEC/FINRA/FinCEN sources before advising.

Core Concepts

BSA Framework — Key Hooks

The operative statutes and authorities: the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 5311–5332) as expanded by the USA PATRIOT Act (2001), which added enhanced due diligence requirements, information-sharing provisions (Sections 314(a) and 314(b)), and the written AML program requirement. FinCEN, a bureau of the U.S. Treasury, administers the BSA, issues implementing rules (31 CFR Chapter X), and collects CTRs and SARs.

FINRA Rule 3310 — AML Compliance Program

FINRA Rule 3310 requires every FINRA member firm to establish and implement a written AML compliance program that includes four pillars:

  1. Written procedures — Policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious activity. Must be tailored to the firm's business model, products, customer types, and geographic exposure.
  2. Designated AML Compliance Officer (AMLCO) — A qualified individual responsible for day-to-day AML oversight. The AMLCO must be identified by name and title in the firm's written procedures and registered with FINRA. The AMLCO must have sufficient authority, resources, and expertise.
  3. Independent testing (audit) — The AML program must be tested independently at least every calendar year (or every two years if the firm does not execute transactions or hold customer funds/securities). Testing may be performed by qualified internal personnel not involved in the AML program or by an outside party.
  4. Ongoing training — All relevant personnel must receive AML training appropriate to their responsibilities. Training must cover applicable BSA/AML regulations, the firm's own policies, red flags, and how to escalate suspicious activity. Training frequency and content should be documented.

Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs)

Financial institutions must file FinCEN Form 112 (CTR) for each cash transaction exceeding $10,000 in a single business day (31 CFR § 1010.311). Key rules:
