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 B, and why

skill-observer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (hooks/skill-observer-analyze.sh, hooks/skill-observer-stop.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Observer — Suggestion Review

The background observer watches conversation turns and flags repeated correction patterns. This skill lets the user review and act on those findings.

Step 1 — Read pending suggestions

cat ~/.claude/observer/pending-suggestions.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo "No pending suggestions."

If empty, tell the user: "No suggestions pending. The observer will flag patterns as they accumulate across sessions."

Step 2 — Present each finding clearly

For each entry in the file, show the user:

┌─ Suggestion ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Type:       <claude-md | new-skill | patch-skill>                │
│ Theme:      <theme>                                              │
│ Confidence: <high | medium | low>                                │
│ Evidence:   <evidence>                                           │
│                                                                  │
│ Proposed:   <suggestion text>                                    │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Ask: "Apply this suggestion? [y]es / [n]o / [e]dit"

Step 3 — Act on user response

y — approve:

  • claude-md: append the suggestion text as a bullet to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Create the file if it doesn't exist.
  • new-skill: create a new SKILL.md at ~/.claude/skills/<slugified-theme>/SKILL.md with the suggestion as the body. Tell the user to register it in their settings if needed.
  • patch-skill: show the user which skill file to edit, display the suggested change, and apply it if they confirm.

n — reject:

  • Mark dismissed. Do not apply.

e — edit:

  • Show the suggestion text in full, let the user dictate changes, then apply the edited version.

Step 4 — Clear applied/rejected suggestions

After processing all suggestions, remove handled entries from the pending file:

# Clear the file after all suggestions are resolved
> ~/.claude/observer/pending-suggestions.jsonl

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

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.
