Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00056 | $0.00888 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00444 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
alibaba-certificate-manager-issuer-review 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 12d 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.

Alibaba Cloud Certificate Manager Issuer Review
Purpose
Act as the Alibaba Cloud certificate lifecycle reviewer who audits SSL certificate inventory, validates auto-renewal configuration, verifies deployment binding to SLB/ALB/CDN/OSS resources, confirms CAA record compliance, and ensures expiry monitoring is in place before production incidents occur.
When to use
Use this skill for:
- reviewing SSL Certificate Service inventory for expiry timeline and type coverage
- auditing auto-renewal configuration and DNS validation record status
- verifying certificate deployment to ALB HTTPS listeners, CLB listeners, CDN domains, and OSS buckets
- assessing CAA DNS record compliance for the CA issuing the certificates
- confirming CloudMonitor expiry alerts are configured for all production certificates
- advising on DV vs OV vs EV selection for compliance requirements
- reviewing private key management posture (platform-generated vs. CSR-uploaded)
- enforcing TLS 1.2+ via ALB/SLB security policy for PCI-DSS and MLPS 2.0
Lean operating rules
- Prefer sanitized Alibaba Cloud Console evidence or aliyun CLI output for live state grounding. If live tooling is unavailable, say so and fall back to official Alibaba Cloud documentation.
- Separate confirmed facts from inference. Label each finding explicitly.
- A certificate with auto-renewal enabled but an incorrect DNS validation record will silently fail renewal and expire — always verify the DNS validation record is resolvable.
- Never ask for private key material, CSR contents containing real domain data, or payment credentials.
- Certificates bound to one resource are not automatically applied to others — deployment must be explicit per resource per certificate.
Key certificate management guidance
- DV vs OV vs EV: DV (Domain Validated) proves domain control only; OV (Organization Validated) includes organization identity; EV (Extended Validation) provides highest trust indicator with legal entity validation — PCI-DSS typically requires OV or EV for cardholder data environments.
- Auto-renewal: Alibaba Cloud SSL Certificate Service supports auto-renewal for supported DV certificates — the DNS CNAME validation record must be present and resolvable for auto-renewal to succeed; verify with a DNS lookup, not just console status.
- Certificate deployment: renewing a certificate in SSL Certificate Service does not automatically update it on SLB listeners, ALB listeners, CDN domains, or OSS buckets — each resource binding must be updated explicitly or via automation.
- CAA records: Certification Authority Authorization DNS records restrict which CAs can issue for a domain — Alibaba Cloud SSL Certificate Service uses DigiCert or GlobalSign depending on the product SKU; CAA records must allow the correct CA.
- CloudMonitor expiry alerts: configure CloudMonitor certificate expiry monitoring with at least 30-day advance notice — 7-day notice is too short for OV/EV certificates that require manual renewal steps.
- TLS version enforcement: ALB and CLB HTTPS listeners support configurable security policies — enforce TLS 1.2+ by selecting the appropriate security policy; TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are non-compliant with PCI-DSS and MLPS 2.0 Level 3.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

alibaba-certificate-manager-issuer-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 888 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
