A file-aware warning tool that finds known pitfalls for a file based on its name and extension.

Use it to check a file for relevant warnings and practical guidance, such as issues associated with its language or file type.

It can point out common mistakes before you edit a file and encounter them yourself.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

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 →

medium Excessive Agency · line 34
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00051	$0.00462
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00185
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00092
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00046

Security

Grade A, and why

lookup-warn 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.

What it actually says

Lookup Warn

File-context warnings for the file the user is editing or about to edit. Uses the lookup_warn MCP tool, which maps the file extension and name to relevant tags and returns the top N matching warning and task templates.

When to use

User is about to edit a file and wants to know the pitfalls
User asks "what should I watch out for" on a specific file
IDE selection changed — proactively surface warnings

Scoping

If no file path is provided, use AskUserQuestion:

question: "Which file should I check?"
header: "lookup-warn"
options:
  - label: "The file I'm currently viewing"
    description: "Use the IDE selection (if one is active)"
  - label: "A different file"
    description: "Provide a path relative to the project root"

If an IDE selection is available, prefer it without asking.

Execution

Call the MCP tool lookup_warn with:
- file_path — the user's file
- max_results — 3 by default, or what the user asked for
- template_dir — .help/templates if the project has one, otherwise omit
If count is 0, tell the user there are no known warnings for this file type and suggest running lookup-list to browse topics manually.
Print each entry in the warnings array as a list item.

Output Format

## Warnings for `<file-path>`

3 relevant topics:

1. <first warning content>

2. <second warning content>

3. <third warning content>

*To look up any of these topics in more detail, say 'look up X'.*

Keep entries compact — the templates are already rendered. Don't paraphrase the tool output.

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.
