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: 1 finding, 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 36 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.
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 | $0.00048 | $0.02206 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00882 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00441 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00221 |
Grade A, and why
agents-introspection 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 17d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Supported Chat Hosts
Before doing any work, identify the current chat host. If it is not Claude Code or Codex CLI, stop with this error:
This skill only works in Claude Code or Codex CLI.
If a slash or dollar invocation already placed these instructions in the conversation, follow them directly. In that case, do not invoke this skill again through a skill tool.
Determine whether prior Codex and Claude Code work in the current project establishes a recurrence risk for the user's task. Then recommend the smallest durable intervention justified by the evidence.
Success means the report identifies transcript coverage and separates observed behavior from inference. It applies a consistent evidence bar. It either proposes a concrete prevention step or explains why no durable change is justified.
Input
<task>(required): the task, decision, incident, or workflow to evaluate. If omitted but the current conversation states it clearly, use that task. Otherwise, ask for the missing task.
Scope and Authority
- Inspect Codex and Claude Code transcripts whose metadata or cwd resolves to the current project and any other local project materially relevant to the user's task. You are authorized to read relevant other-project sessions without asking the user. Establish relevance from task context, explicit project or path references, a shared change or workflow, or session metadata. Do not scan another project's history solely because it shares a basename or keyword.
- Treat current-project transcripts as internal working evidence. Include direct excerpts when they materially improve the report. Do not summarize or redact solely because the model provider can see them. Never expose credentials, security secrets, or personal wallet addresses.
- Inspect and report by default. Edit AGENTS.md or skills only when the user explicitly asks to apply or implement fixes. Then make the smallest in-scope local change and validate it.
- Never modify transcript stores. Before placing transcript evidence in a public or third-party artifact, perform an external-disclosure review and remove unrelated personal or customer data, unsuitable private paths or repository names, and unrelated transcript material. Perform external writes only when authorized.
What ships with it
5 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.

agents-introspection is a skill published in the GitHub repository PaulRBerg/agent-skills (104 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,206 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
