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.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
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 →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 82 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
- medium Prompt Injection · line 223 Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.Fix: Remove the large whitespace padding (blank-line blocks or long space runs) and review any content hidden below or to the right of it.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00155 | $0.05428 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00077 | $0.02714 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.01086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00543 |
Grade A, and why
nimble-web-expert scanned grade A 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 12d 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.

Nimble Web Expert
Web extraction, search, and URL discovery using the Nimble CLI. Returns clean structured data from any website.
User request: $ARGUMENTS
Core principles
- Route by intent first (see Analyze & Route for the full decision model). Named site with a matching Extraction Template + a direct item to look up → run the template. Site with no template, or a need that requires discovery/reasoning across pages → a Web Search Agent. One-off single URL →
nimble extract. Raw results to work from ("find pages/articles about…") →nimble search; a synthesized deliverable (report, brief, comparison, recommendation) → a Web Search Agent. Discover/crawl URLs →nimble mapornimble crawl. - Web Search Agent runs: pick a run mode before building the command. Default to named create-or-reuse —
nimble agents run --agent-name <stable-name>— so a repeat session lands on the same agent.agents:runs createis the explicit-agent-ID route only and requires--agent-id.references/nimble-agents/reference.mdhas the mode table,use_caselocking, and the one-timeskilloverride. - One command → present results → done. Run once, show the data immediately as a table. Do NOT experiment, loop, or write Python to parse output.
- Multiple inputs → always parallel. 2+ URLs/keywords/ASINs →
&+wait. 6–20 →xargs -P. 20+ → Python asyncio script. Seereferences/batch-patterns.md. - Escalate render tiers silently on empty or truncated content. Tier 1 → 2 → 3 → … without asking. Surface a decision only when all tiers fail and investigation tools are needed. An access barrier is a different outcome, not a tier to climb — see Guardrails.
- Never answer from training data. Live prices, current news, today's listings → always fetch via Nimble. If unavailable, say so.
- AskUserQuestion at every meaningful choice. Header ≤12 chars, 2–4 options, label 1–5 words, recommended option first. Never present choices as numbered prose.
- Save all outputs to
.nimble/. Never leave extraction results in memory only. - Verify the connection BEFORE working — don't fire a data call and react to the error. With bash,
nimble --version+NIMBLE_API_KEYconfirms the CLI path; otherwise run one read-onlymcp__plugin_nimble_nimble__nimble_agents_listprobe. Success = connected; an auth/not-connected error or a response containing an OAuth authorization URL = not connected. - No working CLI and no connected MCP → stop. Do not fall back to WebFetch, WebSearch, curl, or
dangerouslyDisableSandbox. If the plugin is installed but the connector isn't connected (typical Cowork / claude.ai), surface the verbatim connect steps fromrules/setup.mdand stop; if no plugin at all, follow the install flow inrules/setup.md. - If a tool hands back an OAuth "Authorize" link instead of data, present it exactly as given and stop. Never invent a "paste the URL back" / "I'll complete the connection" step — none exists — and never claim tools "will activate" then call them in the same turn. Wait for the user to authorize, then retry or re-probe.

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.
- 12d ago First seen · 301 lines · 155 tokens per session scan A 4f2129574bad
nimble-web-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nimbleway/agent-skills (53 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 5,428 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
