SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 Tool Misuse · line 38
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • low Supply Chain · line 39
    Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.
    Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.

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

brand-guanlan 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 11d ago.

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

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Core Rule

Use Guanlan as a Chinese-web evidence router, not as a one-shot search box. For brand, PR, marketing, campaign, external relations, and reputation tasks, first make sure the running guanlan is current and then choose a workflow that separates official statements, media reporting, community samples, platform heat, and evidence gaps.

Install Or Update

Prefer one clean install path. For most agents, use uv:

uv tool install --force --upgrade --refresh --default-index https://pypi.org/simple guanlan
hash -r || true
command -v guanlan
which -a guanlan
guanlan version
guanlan doctor --install-check

If the user explicitly wants Homebrew:

brew update
brew reinstall shenyangs/tap/guanlan
hash -r || true
which -a guanlan
guanlan version

If guanlan version is lower than public PyPI/Homebrew or README, stop before configuring MCP or using the tool. Report the exact executable path and version mismatch. Clear stale update cache when update checks claim an old version is latest:

rm -f ~/.guanlan/cache/update-check.json
curl -fsSL -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' https://pypi.org/pypi/guanlan/json \
  | python3 -c 'import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["info"]["version"])'
python3 -m pip index versions guanlan --index-url https://pypi.org/simple

For a repeatable full install/update smoke, run:

bash scripts/install_or_update_guanlan.sh

Read references/install-update.md when a user reports version drift, stale PyPI, Homebrew lag, multiple guanlan paths, or a screenshot saying an old version is latest.

Post-Update Smoke

After any install or update, run:

guanlan capabilities
guanlan doctor --install-check
guanlan doctor --trace
guanlan search "人工智能 政策" --profile china --limit 5 --trace
guanlan hotnews today --limit 5 --trends

Treat --limit 5 as smoke only. For real communications research, rerun with --limit 80.

Workflow Selection

What ships with it

4 files 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.

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.
