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

traffic-analysis 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analytics: Traffic

Guides website traffic analysis across all channels (organic, paid, social, referral, direct). Covers traffic source attribution, dark traffic identification, and multi-channel reporting.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope

  • Traffic sources: Organic, paid, social, referral, direct, email
  • Dark traffic: Unattributed visits labeled as "Direct / None"
  • Attribution: UTM tagging, segmenting, reporting accuracy

Branded vs. Non-Branded Traffic (Organic)

Type Characteristics
Branded Higher CTR, conversion, purchase intent; users closer to funnel bottom
Non-branded Touchpoint with future users; most sites get more non-brand traffic; competition fiercer

Brand traffic grows over time as brand awareness increases.

Bot Traffic

A large share of traffic can be bot traffic—RPA, search crawlers, spiders, scrapers. Exclude or segment when evaluating real user behavior; use GA4 filters or segments to isolate human traffic.

Traffic Channels

Channel Typical Sources Attribution
Organic Google, Bing, other search Referrer preserved
Paid (web) Google Ads, Meta Ads, etc. UTM required
Paid (app) App install ads; Google App Campaigns, Apple Search Ads UTM; in-app events
Paid (TV/CTV) Streaming ads; Hulu, Roku, YouTube TV UTM for QR/URL; brand lift
Social Public posts (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) Often preserved
Referral External sites, backlinks Referrer preserved
Direct Typed URL, bookmarks No referrer
Email Newsletters, campaigns Often dark without UTM

Dark Traffic

What It Is

Traffic without clear origin--analytics tools default to "Direct" when referrer is missing. Common causes:

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.
