SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
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 →
- high Memory Poisoning · line 63 Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.
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 | $0.00054 | $0.01609 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00644 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00322 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00161 |
Grade A, and why
react-best-practices 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 18d 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 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.
What ships with it
28 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.

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.

react-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository mastra-ai/mastra (29,052 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,609 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.

setup-slack-channel
Use for the PROVIDER half of getting a locally running CopilotKit Channels agent to answer in Slack, when no Slack app exists yet — setting up a Channels bot in Slack for the first time, creating the Slack app and its tokens, attaching it to a managed Intelligence Channel, or when a Channel reports setuprequired, sits…
copilotkit-channels
Use for the CODE half of a managed Intelligence Channel with Slack or Microsoft Teams: customising the Channel a CLI-scaffolded project already ships, or — for a project the CLI did not generate — writing the Channel declaration, the long-running host, and the awaited activation call. Teams provider setup is in scope…
copilotkit-cli
Use for the CopilotKit CLI — npx copilotkit@latest. Covers proving a project's wiring with verify before debugging anything by hand, scaffolding with create, signing in and selecting a hosted Intelligence project, agent-assisted onboarding of an existing app, generating type-safe agent ids, and importing thread…
channels-setup
Use when a developer wants to build their first CopilotKit Channels agent and get it answering in Slack or Microsoft Teams: "set up a channel", "connect my agent to Slack", "get my agent into Teams", or starting from nothing and wanting a working channel end to end. Covers the whole path: inspecting or scaffolding the…
copilotkit
Use for any CopilotKit question — adding it to an app, chat UI, frontend or server tools, generative UI, shared state, human-in-the-loop, agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, Mastra, ADK, PydanticAI, and others), the runtime, Intelligence, threads, voice, or diagnosing something that is not working.
