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 Memory Poisoning · line 157
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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

qa-testing-android 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.

Platform Versions (July 2026)

Component Current stable Notes
Android 17 (API 37), shipped 2026-06-16; Android 16 (API 36) is the prior release See "Google Play Target API Policy" below for what to actually target — the newest OS version is not automatically the target-API requirement
AGP 9.2.x Requires Gradle 8.11+; breaking DSL changes from 8.x
Robolectric 4.16.x Supports up to SDK 36 (Baklava); SDK 36 requires JDK 21. API 37 support is not yet released as of 2026-07-11 — an open upstream issue (robolectric/robolectric#11239, filed 2026-06-14) tracks it. Do not assume Robolectric can simulate Android 17 behavior yet; verify before relying on it for API-37-specific logic
UI Automator 2.4.0-rc01 Modern uiAutomator {} DSL; release-candidate, not yet fully stable — verify current status before pinning in a template
Compose Preview Screenshot Testing 0.0.1-alpha15 Still alpha; requires AGP 8.5+, Kotlin 2.2.10+ (raised from 1.9.20 — verify against the current release notes before relying on an older Kotlin floor), JDK 17+
ATD images API 30 only Use standard google/aosp images for API 35/36/37
Maestro API 35/36 added 2026 Q2 API 37 support unverified as of 2026-07-11 — check release notes before targeting Android 17 devices in Maestro Cloud

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.
