least-privilege

least-privilege is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runxhq/runx. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,974 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An access-review tool that compares the permissions granted to a skill or person with the permissions actually used, based on recorded receipts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for least-privilege audits before renewing or expanding access, and after incidents to identify authority that can be safely reduced.
Why use it?
It helps remove access that is not needed while deferring decisions when usage evidence is missing. The result is a recommendation for review, not an automatic permission change.

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

least-privilege 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 (least-privilege.mjs), 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.

Least Privilege Auditor

Turn granted authority plus attributable observed usage into a bounded attenuation proposal.

This skill resolves every supporting receipt id through the native ledger runner before comparing exercised scopes from Runx's redacted receipt detail with the current grant. Native detail is authoritative for scope use. A supplied usage summary exists only for deterministic replay of older evidence that lacks that projection. Missing receipt proof defers every scope. The output is a reviewable attenuation proposal, not an automatic change.

Composes

  • ledger#read

What this skill does

  1. Diff granted authority against receipt-backed usage.
  2. Classify each granted scope as keep, narrow, remove, or defer.
  3. Propose the narrowest grant that still covers observed usage.
  4. State residual risk after attenuation.
  5. Emit a receipt-quality report a reviewer can apply or reject.

When to use this skill

  • Periodic least-privilege review of a skill, grant, or principal before publish, renewal, or maturity promotion.
  • After an incident, to identify authority that can be safely removed without breaking observed behavior.
  • Before expanding distribution of a public skill, to prove its grant is minimal against real receipts.
  • When a reviewer asks for a scope-by-scope evidence trail, not just a summary.

When not to use this skill

  • To grant new authority. This skill only narrows; widening is a human decision.
  • When no usable receipt evidence exists. Return needs_more_evidence rather than guessing a grant down to nothing.
  • For secret material handling or credential exposure. Use the appropriate secret-leak triage flow instead of scope review.
  • When the user asks for automatic permission changes. Produce a proposal and stop unless a separate approved delivery lane exists.
  • When grant semantics are unknown and cannot be normalized. Return needs_input with the exact syntax or policy question.

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.
