SkillSpector: 1 finding, 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 Anti-Refusal · line 24 Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00022 | $0.00192 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00077 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00038 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
repo-scanning-and-detection 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Repo Scanning And Detection
Enumerate files, detect language/framework, and identify config/test/source directories.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Working with code in
src/scanner/index.ts/ - User mentions "scan"
- User mentions "glob"
- User mentions "language"
- User mentions "framework"
- User mentions "config"
- User mentions "tests"
Patterns
- glob-based enumeration with ignore filters
- language detection via extension counts and tsconfig override
- framework detection via package.json dependencies
- config and test file heuristics
- source directory inference from common roots
Examples
const scanner = new Scanner(rootPath, verbose); const result = await scanner.scan();
Category
architecture - Structural patterns and system design
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.

repo-scanning-and-detection is a skill published in the GitHub repository shyamsridhar123/agentsmith-cli (17 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 192 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
