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 →

    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

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

creative-commons-explainer 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 6d 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.

Creative Commons Explainer

What This Skill Does

Explains a specific Creative Commons licence in plain language, telling a media professional exactly what they can and cannot do with the licensed content — including attribution requirements, commercial use rules, and derivative work restrictions.

When To Use This Skill

  • You found an image, video, audio clip, or text labelled with a Creative Commons licence and need to know if you can use it
  • You want to understand the difference between CC licence types before choosing one for your own work
  • You need to confirm whether a specific use (commercial broadcast, remix, adaptation, social media repost) is permitted under a given CC licence
  • You are writing usage guidelines for your team and need a clear, jargon-free summary of each licence type

What You Need To Provide

Required:

  • The Creative Commons licence type (e.g., CC BY 4.0, CC BY-SA 3.0, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, CC0) — the full name, the abbreviation, or the URL from the licence deed

Optional:

  • Your intended use (editorial article, commercial broadcast, YouTube video, podcast, social media, remix/adaptation, print publication)
  • Whether you plan to modify the work (crop, edit, translate, incorporate into a larger piece)
  • Whether your use is commercial or non-commercial
  • The specific content you are licensing (helps the assistant give concrete examples of compliant attribution)

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Identifies the licence and version. Creative Commons licences differ meaningfully between versions (2.0, 3.0, 4.0). The assistant confirms the exact licence and version, notes any differences from the current version if relevant, and flags if the licence URL or abbreviation does not match a valid CC licence.

  2. Explains the licence in four plain-language categories. Every CC licence answer covers: (a) Can I use this commercially? (b) Can I modify, remix, or adapt it? (c) Do I have to credit the creator, and how? (d) Do I have to share my version under the same licence? These four questions cover 95% of what media professionals need to know.

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.
