In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing detection rules, rule identifiers, taxonomy mappings, or detector tests in the specified rules directory.
Why use it?
It keeps detector identifiers stable, separates different kinds of analysis, and requires tests that include both matches and intentional non-matches.

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

yara-rules 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.

What it actually says

YARA-X rules

  • One file per class under rules/core/sdXX_*.yar. Extra packs: supply-chain, obfuscation, MCP.
  • IDs are stable and human-assigned. Never renumber. Baselines and suppressions depend on this.
  • skill-doctor-rules/build.rs compiles the tree once. Scan path only matches.
  • Every rule meta: class, severity, description.
  • SD-02 companion-script taint is tree-sitter, not a regex for the eval function.
  • SD-04 is capability-set differ, not YARA. Do not fake it with a pattern.
  • New class SD-12+ is a whitepaper change. Do not add it in a drive-by PR.
  • Detector PR: rule + positive fixture + hard-negative + test.

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.
