Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00056 | $0.02356 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01178 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00471 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00236 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-confusion 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 4d 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.

SKILL: Dependency Confusion — Supply Chain Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert dependency-confusion methodology. Covers how private package names leak, how public registries can win version resolution, ecosystem-specific pitfalls (npm scopes, pip extra indexes, Maven repo order), recon commands, non-destructive PoC patterns (callbacks, not data exfil), and defensive controls. Pair with supply-chain recon workflows when manifests or CI caches are in scope. Only use on systems and programs you are authorized to test.
0. QUICK START
What to look for first
- Manifests listing package names that look internal (short unscoped names, org-specific tokens, product codenames) without a hard-private registry lock.
- Evidence the same name might exist—or be squattable—on a public registry with a higher semver than the private feed publishes.
- Lockfiles missing, stale, or not enforced in CI so
install/buildcan drift toward public metadata.
Fast mental model: If the resolver can see both private and public indexes, and version ranges allow it, the “newest” matching version may be the attacker’s.
Routing note: if the task comes from supply-chain, repository exposure, or CI-build recon, first use recon-for-sec to list internal package names and possible public-registry collisions.
1. CORE CONCEPT
- Private packages: An organization ships libraries only on an internal registry (or under conventions that imply “ours”), e.g. a scoped name like
@org-scope/internal-utilsor an unscoped name such asacme-billing-sdk. - Attacker squats the name: The same package name is published on a public registry (npmjs, PyPI, RubyGems, etc.).
- Resolver preference: Many setups resolve highest matching version across all configured indexes (or merge metadata), so a public
9.9.9can beat a private1.2.3if ranges allow. - Execution: Package managers run lifecycle scripts (npm
preinstall/postinstall, setuptools entry points, etc.) → attacker code runs on developer laptops, CI, or production image builds.
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.

dependency-confusion is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge (22 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,356 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to dependency-confusion, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

ship
Pre-launch shipping checklist orchestrating /gates, /security, /browser-test, /perf. Ensures nothing ships without passing all quality checks. Use when: (1) before deploying, (2) before merging to main, (3) before release. Triggers: /ship, 'ship it', 'ready to deploy', 'pre-launch check'.
constraint-scaffold
This skill should be used when generating the Layer 1 dependency-cruiser import-boundary gate (client modules importing server secrets) into a Next.js product codebase's CI.
platform-strategist
Use this agent when you need to make infrastructure and deployment strategy decisions before implementation. Evaluates build pipelines, CI/CD approaches, cloud resource selection, containerization strategies, and deployment topology. Use terraform-architect for generating Terraform configs after decisions are made…
