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.

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

url-summarize 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch.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

URL Summarize Skill

Fetch a webpage and return a one-paragraph summary of its content.

When to use

The user wish contains a URL (http:// or https://) AND asks for a summary, gist, or explanation of what the page contains. Examples:

Execution

This skill uses a helper script to fetch the URL safely (with redirect handling and HTML text extraction). Steps:

  1. Extract the URL from the user's wish.
  2. Call the fetch script via run_bash:
    python3 scripts/fetch.py "<URL>"
    
    The script prints the page's text content to stdout (max 4000 chars).
  3. Read the script's output.
  4. Generate a one-paragraph summary based on the text.
  5. Return the summary as the final response.

Style

  • One paragraph, 3-5 sentences max.
  • Focus on what the page actually says, not on the URL or technical details.
  • If the page is empty, errors out, or has no readable text, say so plainly: "This page returned no extractable content."

What this skill demonstrates

This SKILL.md + scripts/ pattern is how Claude Code skills work when they need external data or computation. The SKILL.md is the entry point that the LLM reads. Scripts are invoked by the LLM via run_bash, not directly by the engine. This keeps the engine deterministic (it only reads SKILL.md and dispatches tool calls) while letting the LLM decide which scripts to call and with what args.

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.
