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.

SkillSpector: 6 findings, 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 Rogue Agent · line 170 Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 106 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

- medium Prompt Injection · line 138 Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.Fix: Remove the large whitespace padding (blank-line blocks or long space runs) and review any content hidden below or to the right of it.

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 | $0.00028 | $0.01342 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00671 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00268 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
impl-standards scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Implementation Standards
Apply these standards during implementation to ensure consistent, maintainable code.
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
When to Use This Skill
- During
/itp:goPhase 1 - When writing new production code
- User mentions "error handling", "constants", "magic numbers", "progress logging", "SSoT", "dependency injection", "config singleton"
- Before release to verify code quality
Quick Reference
| Standard | Rule |
|---|---|
| Errors | Raise + propagate; no fallback/default/retry/silent |
| Constants | Abstract magic numbers into semantic, version-agnostic dynamic constants |
| SSoT/DI | Config singleton → None-default + resolver → entry-point validation |
| Dependencies | Prefer OSS libs over custom code; no backward-compatibility needed |
| Progress | Operations >1min: log status every 15-60s |
| Logs | logs/{adr-id}-YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log (nohup) |
| Metadata | Optional: catalog-info.yaml for service discovery |
Error Handling
Core Rule: Raise + propagate; no fallback/default/retry/silent
# ✅ Correct - raise with context
def fetch_data(url: str) -> dict:
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code != 200:
raise APIError(f"Failed to fetch {url}: {response.status_code}")
return response.json()
# ❌ Wrong - silent catch
try:
result = fetch_data()
except Exception:
pass # Error hidden
See Error Handling Reference for detailed patterns.
What ships with it
4 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.

impl-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (62 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,342 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
