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 →

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

cron 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.

Cron: расписания и напоминания

Ты управляешь своим расписанием сам — через CLI, который редактирует jobs.json. Бот перечитывает файл каждую минуту и запускает задания в отдельной cron-сессии. Результат запуска уходит пользователю в Telegram.

Команды

Рабочая директория — vault, проект уровнем выше (--project ..):

Таймзона. Время в --cron — местное; ВСЕГДА передавай --tz зоной ПОЛЬЗОВАТЕЛЯ. Никогда не хардкодь чужую зону. В примерах ниже стоит "${TZ:-UTC}" — это РАБОЧЕЕ значение: shell подставит env TZ (зона из конфигурации пользователя), а если она не задана — UTC. Чтобы зафиксировать конкретную зону, замени на IANA-имя (напр. Europe/Moscow). <offset> в --at — UTC-смещение зоны (+05:00, +03:00, +00:00), его подставляешь при вычислении времени.

# Повторяющееся по cron-выражению (время местное — указывай --tz)
uv run --project .. python -m d_brain.cron add \
  --prompt "Собери утреннюю сводку: вчерашний daily, goals недели" \
  --cron "0 9 * * *" --tz "${TZ:-UTC}" --id morning-brief

# Интервал в секундах
uv run --project .. python -m d_brain.cron add \
  --prompt "Проверь inbox в vault, новое разложи по карточкам. Если пусто — начни ответ с [SILENT]" \
  --every 3600

# Разовое напоминание: ВСЕГДА --at + --delete-after-run
uv run --project .. python -m d_brain.cron add \
  --prompt "Напомни про звонок с подрядчиком" \
  --at "2026-06-12T18:00:00<offset>" --delete-after-run   # <offset>, напр. +05:00

uv run --project .. python -m d_brain.cron list
uv run --project .. python -m d_brain.cron remove <id>
uv run --project .. python -m d_brain.cron enable <id>   # вернуть авто-отключённый

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.
