SkillSpector is a security scanner that examines AI agent skills and related files for malicious behavior, vulnerabilities, and other installation risks. It is used to assess skills for agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and MCP-based tools before they are installed, while the catalogue includes skills for using the scanner.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00011 | $0.00055 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00028 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00011 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00006 |
Grade A, and why
code-formatter 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
Code Formatter
Formats Python files using black.
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.
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.

code-formatter is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/SkillSpector (16,164 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 55 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
py-devenv
Explain and document Python developer environment conventions (REPL startup file, history, completion).
envtools-installer
Ships a Python auto-execution persistence installer as an extension-less file (a bare install script with a shebang) — the same runtime-computed sitecustomize.py install as badb335runtimepersistinstall, but shipped without a .py extension.
venv-doctor
Legitimate diagnostic skill that lists candidate site-packages directories for import troubleshooting and runs a subprocess with a custom PYTHONSTARTUP, without ever writing a sitecustomize file or touching a shell rc file.
pydantic-interface
Use when adding, changing, fixing, or removing NuGuard package functionality that has a public Python or platform-facing interface. Keeps public Pydantic request/result models, streaming events and reducers, exports, JSON Schema snapshots, documentation, redaction, and compatibility tests synchronized with…
jupyter-notebook
Use when the user asks to create, scaffold, or edit Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) for experiments, explorations, or tutorials; prefer the bundled templates and run the helper script newnotebook.py to generate a clean starting notebook.
python-package-management
Guide for managing packages in the Agent Framework Python monorepo, including creating new connector packages, versioning, and the lazy-loading pattern. Use this when adding, modifying, or releasing packages.
