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 →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

overcast-init 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

overcast-init

One-time setup for overcast.

  1. Install the CLI — pi install npm:@kdrrr/overcast (inside pi) or npm i -g @kdrrr/overcast for the standalone binary.
  2. Install bundled skills for this agent — for Codex, Cursor, and other non-Claude harnesses, copy the shipped skills into the agent's skills directory explicitly: 
    overcast skills install --dest ~/.codex/skills
    Bare overcast skills install remains the Claude Code default (~/.claude/skills), and --harness claude-code is the explicit Claude target.
  3. Install/update tinycloud — the default perception backend. Get the latest (npm i -g @cloudglue/[email protected] then tinycloud install --latest, or tinycloud update). overcast needs tinycloud ≥ 0.3.12 — its watch envelope inlines the verbatim watch/listen transcripts (watch.speech.v1); the face + index verbs need ≥ 0.3.4, and the image see/extract verbs behind the opt-in see:tinycloud provider need ≥ 0.3.7. Override the invocation with OVERCAST_TINYCLOUD_CMD if it isn't on PATH.
  4. Verify — overcast doctor --json (pi pinned, ffmpeg/ffprobe runnable, Cloudglue key, tinycloud CLI + version, optional uv/visual-db readiness).
  5. Cloudglue key — the default watch/listen/face/index providers reach Cloudglue via the tinycloud CLI; configure it (tinycloud setup cloudglue) or export CLOUDGLUE_API_KEY.
  6. Provider profile setup — choose reusable providers once per profile, not once per case. Always preview before applying: 
    overcast provider setup show --profile default --json
overcast provider setup plan --preset cloudglue --profile default --json
overcast provider setup apply --preset cloudglue --profile default --yes --json
overcast doctor --profile default --json
    Optional presets/choices:
    • cloudglue for tinycloud watch/listen/face plus built-in ffmpeg enhance.
    • fal for see/enhance with FAL_KEY.
    • hf for see/enhance with HF_TOKEN.
    • elevenlabs for listen/enhance with ELEVENLABS_API_KEY.
    • owl-local for OWLv2 open-vocabulary object detection.
    • see:tinycloud (choice, --verb see --choice tinycloud) for Cloudglue file-level image analysis via tinycloud see/extract (needs tinycloud ≥ 0.3.7; --detect facts are boxless — no crop).
    • deepface-local for local face detect/match through DeepFace.
  7. Optional visual DB setup — prepare visual DB Python once per checkout/machine. DeepFace can be selected as a profile provider for the face verb, while image/face DBs are still case-owned local indexes: 
    scripts/visual-db-uv.sh --face
overcast doctor --json
overcast provider setup apply --verb face --choice deepface-local --profile default --yes --json
overcast index create logos --type image-ransac --local --json
overcast index create localfaces --type deepface-local --local --json
  8. Case setup later — use the main overcast skill per investigation to run case setup, select targets/sources/indexes, and optionally set case-level automation such as --auto-sense, --auto-index-new, and --findings (defaults to suggest — score/text triggers auto-suggest leads; review is the legacy text-only mode, off disables).

Then use the overcast skill to drive the verbs.

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.
