SkillSpector: 2 findings, 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 9 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 117 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.
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 | $0.00063 | $0.01704 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00852 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00341 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
synthesize 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 7d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
EXECUTE NOW
Target: $ARGUMENTS
Parse immediately:
- If target is a run_id: synthesize that specific run
- If target is empty: list recent runs without experiment notes and ask which to synthesize
- If target is
--all: synthesize all runs that lack experiment notes - If target is
--batch N: synthesize the N most recent unsynthesized runs
Execute steps 0 through 6 in order. Do not ask for confirmation between steps.
Step 0: Validate Target
- Check that
runs/{run_id}/exists - Check that
runs/{run_id}/run.yamlexists — if not, runpython scripts/backfill-run-yaml.py --run-id {run_id}to generate it - Check if
vault/experiments/{run_id}.mdalready exists — if so, report "Already synthesized" and stop (unless--force)
Step 1: Read Run Metadata
Read runs/{run_id}/run.yaml and extract:
slug,created_utcexperiment.type,experiment.hypothesis,experiment.swept_parameters,experiment.seeds,experiment.total_runsresults.status,results.primary_metric,results.primary_result,results.significant_findingsartifacts.*— what files are availabletagslinks.claims— any pre-linked claims
If experiment.type is sweep or study, also read the summary JSON file referenced in artifacts.summary.
Step 2: Read Summary Data
Based on experiment.type:
For sweep: Read summary.json. Extract:
total_runs,total_hypothesesn_bonferroni_significantorbonferroni_survivorsswept_parameters- Top 3 most significant results (by effect size)
p_hacking_audit
For redteam: Read report.json. Extract:
robustness_score,gradeattacks_tested,attacks_successfulvulnerabilities(critical and high severity)
For study: Read analysis/summary.json or summary.json. Extract:
descriptivestatistics per conditionpairwise_tests— significant comparisonsbonferroni_survivors
For single: Read history.json. Extract:
- Final epoch metrics: welfare, toxicity, acceptance rate
- Agent-type breakdown if available
What ships with it
1 file 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.
- 7d ago First seen · 198 lines · 63 tokens per session scan A 608e2b505064
synthesize is a skill published in the GitHub repository swarm-ai-research/swarm (42 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,704 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
