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

cve-poc-generator 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.

CVE PoC Generator

Research a CVE by ID, generate a standalone Python proof-of-concept script, and produce a detailed vulnerability report.

Workflow

  1. NVD Lookup - Query NVD API v2.0 for the CVE ID (python3 tools/nvd-lookup.py <CVE>). Extract the CVSS score/vector using the v4.0-primary ladder (v4.0 → v3.1 → v3.0 → v2.0; the tool's JSON_SUMMARY exposes cvss_version + cvss_vector), plus CWE IDs, CPE matches, advisory URLs, and patch links.
  2. Advisory Research - Deep-dive vendor advisories, GitHub security advisories, Exploit-DB, and published write-ups. Identify root cause, affected versions, and attack vector details.
  3. PoC Generation - Write a standalone Python script (poc.py) that demonstrates the vulnerability safely. Follow the script standards in reference/poc-methodology.md.
  4. Report Generation - Write a comprehensive markdown report (report.md) with metadata, root cause analysis, risk assessment, and remediation guidance.

Invocation

/cve-poc-generator CVE-2024-XXXXX

The skill accepts a single CVE ID as argument. Multiple CVEs should be processed with separate invocations.

Rules

  1. Least harm - PoC scripts MUST demonstrate vulnerability without causing damage. Use detection/verification checks, not destructive payloads.
  2. Standalone scripts - PoC must run independently with only standard Python libraries plus requests. No framework dependencies.
  3. Accurate scoring - Use the exact CVSS score and vector from NVD. Do not fabricate or estimate scores.
  4. Source attribution - Every claim in the report must cite its source (NVD, vendor advisory, CVE description).
  5. No emoji - Use text severity labels only (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFORMATIONAL).
  6. Verified data only - Do not hallucinate CVE details. If NVD data is unavailable, state it explicitly.
  7. Safe defaults - PoC scripts must default to read-only, non-destructive operations. Any potentially harmful action requires explicit --confirm flag.

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.
