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

create-contact-list-from-image-or-spreadsheet 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/build-contacts.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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Contact List from Image or Spreadsheet

The one thing to remember: never transcribe phone digits off a downscaled overview image. A 1400px view of a full page is legible enough to look right and wrong often enough to poison a whole roster. Crop the table into overlapping full-resolution bands and read each one. See Transcription.

When to use this skill

  • The user drops a photo of a printed roster, sign-in sheet, or attendee list and asks for it "parsed"
  • "Make contact cards", "generate vCards", "get these people into my phone"
  • "I want to start a WhatsApp group with everyone from X"
  • An event / cohort / class / retreat / conference list needs to become a group chat, a CRM import, or a broadcast list
  • A spreadsheet of people needs numbers normalized to E.164
  • Any time the deliverable is "these humans, in my address book, fast"

Why this exists

Two failure modes, both expensive and both silent:

  1. Bad digits. OCR from a photo is confidently wrong about 0/8, 1/7, 3/8, 5/6. A single wrong digit means a stranger gets added to a private group chat. The band-crop discipline below is the cheap fix.
  2. The wrong artifact. Producing a beautiful CSV when what the user needed was 33 contacts in their phone in the next ten minutes. The output set here is ordered by time-to-usefulness, not by tidiness.

The pipeline

image/PDF/sheet  →  transcribe  →  roster.tsv  →  build-contacts.py  →  deliverables
                    (bands)        (source of      (mechanical)
                                    truth)

Keep roster.tsv as the durable intermediate. Everything else is regenerable from it, which means a transcription correction is a one-line edit plus a re-run — not a hand-patch across six files.

Transcription: the part that actually goes wrong

1. Normalize the image first

HEIC from an iPhone is not directly readable, and EXIF orientation lies — a 5712×4284 "landscape" file is often a portrait photo. Auto-orient before computing any crop box, or every offset will be wrong.

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.
