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 102
    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

fee-disclosure 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 — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fee Disclosure

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

Form ADV Part 2A — Item 5 (Fees and Compensation)

RIAs must disclose in their firm brochure:

  • Fee schedule — how fees are calculated (asset-based, fixed, hourly, performance-based), fee rates and tiers, minimum account sizes
  • Billing method — frequency (monthly, quarterly), in advance or arrears, pro-ration for partial periods
  • Other fees and expenses — custodian fees, fund expense ratios, transaction costs, wire fees, and any other costs the client will bear in addition to the advisory fee
  • Compensation for sales of securities — if the adviser or its supervised persons receive commissions, 12b-1 fees, or other sales-based compensation, this must be disclosed with a description of the conflict
  • Refund policy — how prepaid fees are refunded if the relationship terminates mid-period

The disclosure must be "full and fair" and not misleading. The SEC has brought enforcement actions for advisers who disclosed fee schedules but obscured the total cost to clients by omitting indirect compensation or failing to describe how fund-level fees compound on top of advisory fees.

Form CRS Fee Disclosure

The "What are your fees?" section of Form CRS must include:

  • Principal fees and costs for the firm's services
  • A description of other fees and costs the client may pay (transaction, custodian, fund expenses)
  • A statement that the client will pay fees and costs whether or not they make or lose money
  • Conversation starters: "Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?"

Form CRS is limited to 2 pages (4 for dual registrants), so fee disclosure is necessarily summarized. It must direct clients to the ADV Part 2A for more detailed information.

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.
