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.

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 | $0.00036 | $0.03324 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.01662 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00665 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00332 |
Grade B, and why
ssti-server-side-template-injection scanned grade B 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 2d 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.
Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.
3. `cat ~/.aws/credentials` — cloud credentials Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

SKILL: Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert SSTI techniques. Covers polyglot detection probes, engine fingerprinting, Jinja2/FreeMarker/Twig/ERB RCE chains, client-side Angular SSTI, and bypass techniques. Base models often miss sandbox escape MRO chains and non-Jinja2 engines. For PHP CMS template eval, Jira SSTI, Confluence OGNL, and Spring Cloud Gateway SpEL, load the companion SCENARIOS.md.

Before using full engine-specific exploitation, you can first load:

- Additional template engines: ASP.NET Razor, Elixir EEx, PHP Smarty/Latte/Blade, JS Pug/Handlebars/Nunjucks/EJS/Lodash + universal detection + blind SSTI + Flask PIN calculation
SCENARIOS.md reference (§7–§11): For expanded payloads and engine-specific notes on Razor, EEx/LEEx/HEEx, PHP stacks, JavaScript template engines, the universal polyglot probe, mathematical fingerprinting, blind SSTI (boolean / time / OOB), and Flask debug PIN prerequisites, see SCENARIOS.md. This skill keeps a short checklist in §13–§15.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
- 2d ago First seen · 345 lines · 36 tokens per session scan B 3ec3c9ddd4d4
ssti-server-side-template-injection is a skill published in the GitHub repository miru-zero/zero-brain (0 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 3,324 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reaches for credential files, runs shell commands). It is 98% identical to ssti-server-side-template-injection, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
