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.

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 | $0.00013 | $0.00387 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00193 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00077 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
misconfig 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 10d 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
Configuration, Deployment, and Observability Testing
On-demand skill for weaknesses that arise from how an application is deployed and operated rather than from its code logic: security misconfiguration, information leakage via obscurity, and observability failures (missing logging, monitoring, and error-handling disclosure). It does not contain injection payloads.
When to Use
- Verbose errors, default credentials, exposed management interfaces, or permissive headers/CORS are observed.
- A finding depends on deployment posture, hidden-but-guessable naming, or missing logging/monitoring.
- Do not use for injection, authz, API protocol, or workflow flaws; route those classes to the appropriate specialist skill.
Playbook Routing
| Class | Playbook |
|---|---|
| Security misconfiguration | playbooks/security-misconfiguration.md |
| Security through obscurity | playbooks/security-through-obscurity.md |
| Observability failures | playbooks/observability-failures.md |
Common Pitfalls
- Separate deployment posture from code defects; a misconfiguration is a configuration fix, not a code fix.
- Preserve the exact header, error body, or default credential as decisive evidence.
- Read the playbook stop conditions before probing management interfaces or default credentials.
Verification Checklist
- Engagement bootstrap and scope validation succeeded.
- The matched playbook alone was loaded and bound to the PTT task.
- Evidence captures the exact misconfigured value or missing control.
What ships with it
3 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.

misconfig is a skill published in the GitHub repository Strategic-Automation/violin (85 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 387 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
