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 →

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 | $0.00024 | $0.01383 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00553 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00277 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00138 |
Grade A, and why
build-dashclaw 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 1mo 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.

Build DashClaw
Guide for contributing to the DashClaw codebase. Covers architecture, adding new capabilities, testing, and CI.
Architecture Overview
DashClaw is organized into 3 tiers:
Tier 1: Core Runtime (app/api/)
7 mandatory endpoints that define DashClaw's governance category:
| Route | Method | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
/api/guard |
POST | Policy evaluation — "can I do this?" |
/api/actions |
POST, PATCH, GET | Action lifecycle recording |
/api/approvals |
POST | Human approval decisions |
/api/assumptions |
POST, GET | Reasoning integrity tracking |
/api/signals |
GET | Real-time anomaly detection |
/api/policies |
GET, POST | Guard policy management |
/api/health |
GET | System readiness |
The 7-route boundary is CI-enforced. Adding a new core route requires justification.
Tier 2: Extensions (app/(extensions)/)
Modular operational intelligence:
- Compliance, Drift, Evaluations, Scoring, Prompts, Webhooks, Learning
Tier 3: Archived (app/api/_archive/)
Legacy features from the "Agent Platform" era. Physically isolated.
Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Runtime | Node.js 20+ |
| Framework | Next.js 16 (App Router) |
| Database | Postgres (Neon recommended) |
| ORM | Drizzle ORM |
| Auth | NextAuth.js v4 |
| UI | React 18, Tailwind CSS 3 |
| Testing | Vitest + jsdom |
| Package Manager | npm |
Key Conventions
TEXT Primary Keys
All IDs are TEXT with crypto-random prefixed values:
import { randomBytes } from 'crypto';
const id = `act_${randomBytes(16).toString('hex')}`;
ID prefixes: ar_ (actions), oc_live_/oc_test_ (API keys), sp_ (scoring profiles), pt_ (prompt templates), etc.
Repository Pattern
No direct SQL in route handlers. All data access goes through repository modules:
app/lib/repositories/*.repository.js
Route handlers import from repositories, never inline SQL.
Auth Chain
Request → Strip client org headers → Rate limit → Route matching
→ Public routes: pass through
→ Protected routes: x-api-key (fast path: timing-safe compare)
→ Inject org context from resolved key
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 168 lines · 24 tokens per session scan A 97993db45368
build-dashclaw is a skill published in the GitHub repository ucsandman/DashClaw (313 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,383 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
