pp-apify is a skill for Claude Code from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. It costs 90 tokens per session (6,179 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A command-line toolkit for Apify, a platform that runs web-scraping programs called Actors. It also keeps scraped data in a local SQLite database, which is a small file-based database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running scrapers, searching data collected by different Actors, finding changes in scraped sources, building newsletters from recent results, and checking scraping costs.
Why use it?
It helps you search past scrape results, spot what is new, estimate run costs, and reuse collected data without managing everything through the web interface.

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

pp-apify scanned grade C 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 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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.
