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: 3 findings, up to high
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 →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 3 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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 | $0.00036 | $0.00867 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00434 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00173 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00087 |
Grade B, and why
configuring 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 10d 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.

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

Configuring
Unified configuration management across AI coding environments. Load environment variables, secrets, and other opinionated configuration setups from any AI coding platform.
Quick Start
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/claude-skills') # or wherever skills are installed
from configuring import get_env, detect_environment
# Get a variable (searches all sources automatically)
token = get_env("TURSO_TOKEN", required=True)
# With default
port = get_env("PORT", default="8080")
# What environment are we in?
env = detect_environment() # "claude.ai", "claude-code-desktop", "codex", "jules", etc.
Supported Environments
| Environment | Config Sources |
|---|---|
| Claude.ai Projects | /mnt/project/*.env, /mnt/project/*-token.txt |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/settings.json (env block), .claude/settings.json |
| OpenAI Codex | ~/.codex/config.toml, setup script → ~/.bashrc, shell_snapshots/*.sh |
| Jules | Environment settings UI, .env in repo |
| Universal | os.environ, .env, .env.local |

What ships with it
8 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.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 121 lines · 36 tokens per session scan B c3cdf8b3f506
configuring is a skill published in the GitHub repository oaustegard/claude-skills (147 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 867 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
