Kiln: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/kiln-check-deprecation/SKILL.md

kiln-check-deprecation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kiln-AI/Kiln. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,242 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A checker for deprecated or sunset AI models across all providers. A deprecated or sunset model is one that is no longer recommended, supported, or available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit Kiln's model list and find models that have reached deprecation, sunset, or end-of-life.
Why use it?
It finds stale model entries before they cause availability or integration problems.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Kiln-AI/Kiln's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Kiln itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Kiln configures →

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

kiln-check-deprecation scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_provider.py, scripts/extract_models.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- **Sandbox:** All `curl`, `uv run`, and `python3` commands that hit the network MUST use `required_permissions: ["all"]`. The sandbox blocks network access.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
