howopen

howopen is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ospocc/agent-skill-howopen. It costs 39 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project health-check procedure that reports the technology stack, programming languages, dependencies, and software licenses. It is intended for open-source compliance and project overviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting a project’s frameworks and tools, measuring its language mix, listing dependencies, and reviewing open-source licenses.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured view of what a project uses and highlights license information that may need review.

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 A, and why

howopen 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyze_project.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

howopen Skill

This skill allows the agent to perform an "Open Source Health Check" on the current project. It analyzes the technology stack, programming language distribution, and open-source licenses of dependencies.

When to use

  • When the user asks for a project overview or "health check".
  • When checking for open-source license compliance.
  • When analyzing the tech stack of a new or existing project.

Instructions

  1. Run Analysis: Execute the analyze_project.py script located in the scripts directory as this skill.
    python .agent/skills/howopen/scripts/analyze_project.py
    
  2. Process Output: The script will output a JSON object containing:
    • tech_stack: A list of identified frameworks and tools.
    • languages: A dictionary of languages and their percentage of the codebase.
    • dependencies: A list of objects with name, version, and license.
  3. Generate Report: Create a Markdown report with the following sections:
    • 🛠️ Technology Stack

      A table listing the core frameworks and tools identified.
    • 📊 Language Distribution

      A table showing the programming languages used and their percentage (sorted by percentage).
    • ⚖️ Open Source License Audit

      A table listing dependencies, their versions, and their licenses. Highlight any "Unknown" or restrictive licenses (like GPL) if relevant.

Resources

  • scripts/analyze_project.py: Helper script for technical analysis.
Files

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.
