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 selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

notebooklm 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 8d 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.

NotebookLM Integration

CLI wrapper for Google NotebookLM via notebooklm-mcp-cli. Creates topic notebooks, ingests sources, queries with grounded citations, generates audio overviews, runs research discovery, and bridges to Odin for knowledge ingestion.

CEO-only. Not synced to exec workspaces. Uses undocumented Google APIs - may break without notice.


CLI Access

The nlm CLI is installed but may not be on bash PATH directly on Windows. Use this exact invocation pattern for ALL commands:

NLM="$(command -v nlm 2>/dev/null \
  || ls "${APPDATA:-$USERPROFILE/AppData/Roaming}"/Python/Python*/Scripts/nlm.exe 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
NO_COLOR=1 PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 "$NLM" <subcommand> [flags]

The command -v nlm lookup prefers nlm on PATH (Linux, macOS, future). The fallback is for the Windows CEO machine, where pip installs to a user-scoped Scripts directory that is not on the Git Bash PATH. It derives the per-user Roaming location from $APPDATA, or from $USERPROFILE/AppData/Roaming when $APPDATA is unset. No username and no Python minor version is hardcoded. It then globs the Python*/Scripts/nlm.exe install path. On Linux/macOS $APPDATA and $USERPROFILE are unset and the glob matches nothing, so command -v nlm is authoritative there. Always set NLM as a variable at the start of each Bash call, then use "$NLM" for the command. The NO_COLOR=1 PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 prefix forces UTF-8 stdio across platforms (required on Windows console; harmless on Linux/macOS).


Variables

  • $ARGUMENTS - Mode and parameters. Format: [mode] [target/args]
  • Modes: status, create, add, query, audio, research, report, describe, download

Phase 0: Auth Validation

Run before EVERY mode. No exceptions.

  1. Run (Bash, timeout 15000):

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.
