About the project

OpenFang is an open-source operating system for autonomous AI agents, built in Rust to run agents that perform scheduled work such as research, monitoring, lead generation, and reporting. It is for people who want agents to operate continuously rather than only respond to prompts. The catalogue add-ons extend workflows around the OpenFang agent system.

SkillSpector: 12 findings, up to critical

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 →

  • critical YARA Match · line 270
    YARA rule matched a known malware signature (reverse shell, backdoor, ransomware, C2 framework, or info stealer).
    Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 471
    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.

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

clip-hand-skill scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

Video Clipping Expert Knowledge

Cross-Platform Notes

All tools (ffmpeg, ffprobe, yt-dlp, whisper) use identical CLI flags on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The differences are only in shell syntax:

Feature macOS / Linux Windows (cmd.exe)
Suppress stderr 2>/dev/null 2>NUL
Filter output | grep pattern | findstr pattern
Delete files rm file1 file2 del file1 file2
Null output device -f null - -f null - (same)
ffmpeg subtitle paths subtitles=clip.srt subtitles=clip.srt (relative OK, absolute needs C\\:/path)

IMPORTANT: ffmpeg filter paths (-vf "subtitles=...") always need forward slashes. On Windows with absolute paths, escape the colon: subtitles=C\\:/Users/me/clip.srt

Prefer using file_write tool for creating SRT/text files instead of shell echo/heredoc.


yt-dlp Reference

Download with Format Selection

# Best video up to 1080p + best audio, merged

# 720p max (smaller, faster)
yt-dlp -f "bv[height<=720]+ba/b[height<=720]" --restrict-filenames -o "source.%(ext)s" "URL"

# Audio only (for transcription-only workflows)

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.
