Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 63 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00094 | $0.04868 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.02434 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00974 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00487 |
Grade A, and why
ring:using-tracing 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 4d 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.

When to use
Sweep mode:
- "Sweep / audit tracing setup"
- "Find raw OpenTelemetry usage we should replace"
- "Are our HTTP/gRPC boundaries propagating trace context?"
- "Is there DIY field redaction in spans?"
- "Migrate this service to lib-observability/tracing"
Reference mode:
- "How do I bootstrap Telemetry for a new service?"
- "Which Inject/Extract helper do I use for X transport?"
- "How does the Redactor pipeline work?"
- "How do I record a business-error event on a span?"
- "What does RedactingAttrBagSpanProcessor do?"

The tracing subpackage owns OTEL provider lifecycle, trace context propagation, span helpers,
and the attribute-redaction pipeline (RedactingAttrBagSpanProcessor is wired automatically
inside NewTelemetry). Use this skill when tracing is the primary concern. For broader
lib-observability sweeps (logging, metrics, panic recovery), invoke ring:using-lib-observability.

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.

ring:using-tracing is a skill published in the GitHub repository LerianStudio/ring (211 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 4,868 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
