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 →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

wicked-garden-agentic-review-methodology 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 11d 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.

Agentic Review Methodology

Systematic approach to reviewing agentic systems and codebases for issues, risks, and improvement opportunities.

Four-Phase Review Process

Phase 1: Detect (Discovery)

Goal: Identify all potential issues

Activities:

  1. Code analysis (static analysis, anti-patterns)
  2. Configuration review (prompts, secrets, limits)
  3. Runtime analysis (logs, traces, metrics)
  4. Documentation review

Tools:

  • Static analyzers (pylint, mypy, eslint)
  • Custom grep patterns for agentic anti-patterns
  • Log aggregation tools

Deliverable: Raw issue inventory

Phase 2: Analyze (Assessment)

Goal: Understand each issue's impact and root cause

For Each Issue:

  1. Classify type (see refs/issue-taxonomy-reliability-safety.md and refs/issue-taxonomy-quality-testing.md)
  2. Determine severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
  3. Assess impact (Reliability/Security/Cost/Performance)
  4. Identify root cause
  5. Estimate fix effort

Analysis Framework:

  • What is the issue?
  • Why is it a problem?
  • What are the consequences?
  • What is the root cause?
  • How should it be fixed?

Deliverable: Analyzed issue list with severity and impact

Phase 3: Score (Prioritization)

Goal: Prioritize issues for remediation

Severity Levels:

Critical (P0): Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, system crashes, compliance violations. Fix immediately.

High (P1): Reliability issues, performance problems, cost inefficiencies, safety gaps. Fix within 1 week.

Medium (P2): Code quality issues, minor performance issues, missing observability. Fix within 1 month.

Low (P3): Style issues, optimization opportunities, nice-to-have features. Backlog.

Prioritization Matrix:

Impact vs Effort:
           Low Effort    High Effort
High       Quick Wins    Major Projects
Impact     (Do First)    (Plan)

Low        Easy Wins     Avoid
Impact     (Do Later)    (Skip)

Deliverable: Prioritized roadmap

Phase 4: Report (Communication)

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.
