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 →

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 B, and why

kill-the-standup scanned grade B with 2 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 8d 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.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kill the Standup

Read yesterday's Linear issues and GitHub commits. Format a standup update. Post it to Slack.


Step 1: Setup Check

Confirm required env vars are set:

echo "LINEAR_API_KEY: ${LINEAR_API_KEY:+set}"
echo "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL:+set}"
echo "GITHUB_REPO: ${GITHUB_REPO:-not set}"
echo "GITHUB_USERNAME: ${GITHUB_USERNAME:-not set}"

If LINEAR_API_KEY is missing: Stop. Tell the user: "LINEAR_API_KEY is required. Get it from Linear → Settings → API → Personal API keys. Add it to your .env file."

If SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL is missing: Stop. Tell the user: "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL is required. Create an Incoming Webhook at api.slack.com/apps → Your App → Incoming Webhooks. Add it to your .env file."

If GITHUB_REPO is missing: Continue. GitHub commits will be skipped. Note this to the user.


Step 2: Fetch Linear Activity

Compute yesterday's date in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2026-04-09T00:00:00.000Z).

Get current user ID:

curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "query { viewer { id name email } }"}'

Extract the id field from the response. Store as LINEAR_USER_ID.

Fetch issues assigned to me, updated since yesterday:

curl -s -X POST https://api.linear.app/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINEAR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "query($since: DateTime!, $userId: ID!) { issues(first: 50, filter: { assignee: { id: { eq: $userId } } updatedAt: { gte: $since } }) { edges { node { identifier title state { name } url completedAt updatedAt createdAt } } } }",
    "variables": {"since": "YESTERDAY_ISO", "userId": "LINEAR_USER_ID"}
  }'

Categorize issues:

  • completedAt is non-null → Done
  • state.name is "In Progress", "Started", or "In Review" → Doing
  • state.name is "Cancelled" → skip
  • state.name is "Todo" or "Backlog" → skip (not worked on)

Changes

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.
