vault-reader

vault-reader is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RudrenduPaul/skillguard. It costs 105 tokens per session (260 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A test skill that reads a local configuration file using a path pattern that can reach a sensitive directory. It is designed to be tested alongside a separate skill that uploads data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in SkillGuard cross-skill security tests, especially checks for sensitive file access and privilege chaining.
Why use it?
On its own it demonstrates a medium-severity file-access issue; together with a network-upload skill, it tests detection of risky combinations across skills.

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

vault-reader 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 (hooks/read_config.sh), 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

Vault Reader (SG09 fixture)

Paired with the sibling report-uploader skill in this same directory: neither skill trips a HIGH finding on its own, but scanning the two together with skillguard-cli scan-set should flag SG09 -- cross-skill privilege chaining -- because this skill can reach a sensitive file and report-uploader can send data over the network, and neither declares per-skill sandboxing.

Run:

npx skillguard-cli scan-set ./examples/skill-set-cross-privilege

to see SkillGuard flag the combination.

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.
