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 →

  • high Rogue Agent · line 94
    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 49
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

markedit-tools 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 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.

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.

Extension URLs

When a user provides an extension name, download from this URL pattern:

https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/extension-name/blob/main/dist/extension-name-kebab-cased.js?raw=true

Always normalise the extension name to kebab-case.

For example, MarkEdit Preview is available at: https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit-preview/blob/main/dist/markedit-preview.js?raw=true

When a user requests a "lite" build, it is located in the lite subfolder under dist: https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit-preview/blob/main/dist/lite/markedit-preview.js?raw=true

The filename is identical to the standard build; do not add a -lite suffix.

If the dist file is not found (non-200 response), fall back to the GitHub latest release asset:

  1. Fetch the latest release tag from the GitHub API: https://api.github.com/repos/MarkEdit-app/extension-name/releases/latest
  2. Read the tag_name field from the response.
  3. Download the asset using:
https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/extension-name/releases/download/{tag_name}/extension-name-kebab-cased.js

For example, if dist/markedit-preview.js is not available in the repository and the latest release tag is v1.0.0: https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit-preview/releases/download/v1.0.0/markedit-preview.js
