project-build-static-binary

A workflow for building and testing a static Netdata installer. A static installer packages the program so it can be installed without relying on matching system libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, package, deploy, or test Netdata .gz.run installers for x86_64, aarch64, armv6l, or armv7l.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to produce and verify the self-extracting installer for supported processor types.

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 D, and why

project-build-static-binary scanned grade D with 3 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 yesterday.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo sh /tmp/netdata-x86_64-latest.gz.run -- --auto-update

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- To force a clean build: `rm -rf artifacts/`.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.

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.

project-build-static-binary is a skill published in the GitHub repository netdata/netdata (80,356 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 205 tokens to every session and 3,982 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
