SkillSpector: 4 findings, 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 Tool Misuse · line 64
    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 28
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 170
    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.
  • low Supply Chain · line 64
    Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.
    Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.

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 C, and why

x_intel scanned grade C with 2 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

x_intel — X (Twitter) information gathering

x_intel lets an agent pull posts, search results, timelines and user profiles from X (Twitter) through xurl, the X developer platform's official CLI. This skill is read-only by design — it intentionally omits posting, replying, deleting, DM-sending and any other write surface. For a separate publishing skill, see follow-up work.

Use this skill for:

  • looking up a single post by ID or URL
  • searching posts with the X search query syntax (from:user, lang:en, #hashtag, ...)
  • reading the agent operator's home timeline, mentions, bookmarks, likes
  • inspecting a user profile by handle
  • walking the social graph (who someone follows / is followed by)
  • raw read access to any X API v2 GET endpoint when the shortcuts don't fit

Credential safety (mandatory)

Critical rules when invoked inside an agent session:

  • Never read, print, parse, summarize, upload or quote ~/.xurl into chat context. It is a YAML token store.
  • Never ask the user to paste credentials/tokens into the conversation.
  • Never suggest or run the auth commands with inline secrets in an agent session.
  • Never pass --verbose / -v — it prints auth headers to stdout.
  • The only credential-touching command this skill ever runs is xurl auth status (status only, no secrets).

Forbidden flags in any agent-issued command (each accepts inline secrets): --bearer-token, --consumer-key, --consumer-secret, --access-token, --token-secret, --client-id, --client-secret.

App registration and the OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow must be performed by the user outside the agent session (see "User setup" below). Tokens persist in ~/.xurl (YAML); OAuth 2.0 refreshes automatically.


Install

The agent should verify, not install. Direct the user to install if missing.

# Shell script (Linux + macOS, installs to ~/.local/bin, no sudo)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh | bash

# Homebrew (macOS)
brew install --cask xdevplatform/tap/xurl

# Go (cross-platform)
go install github.com/xdevplatform/xurl@latest

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.

x_intel is a skill published in the GitHub repository mateaix/mateclaw (1,170 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 2,740 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
