SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 Privilege Escalation · line 39
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 35
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

gws-shared 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 9d 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.

gws — Shared Reference

Installation

The gws binary must be on $PATH. See the project README for install options.

Authentication

# Browser-based OAuth (interactive)
gws auth login

# Service Account
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/key.json

Multi-Account Setup

The gws CLI stores credentials in a single config directory (~/.config/gws/ by default). To support multiple Google accounts, use the GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR env var to point at separate config directories — one per account.

Initial setup (one-time per account)

# 1. Create a config dir for the additional account
mkdir -p ~/.config/gws-personal

# 2. Copy the OAuth client config (same GCP project, different user)
cp ~/.config/gws/client_secret.json ~/.config/gws-personal/client_secret.json

# 3. Auth the new account (opens browser — sign in with the desired Google account)
GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR=~/.config/gws-personal gws auth login

Usage

# Work account (default — no env var needed)
gws gmail users messages list --params '{"userId": "me", "q": "subject:hello"}'

# Personal account (prefix with env var)
GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR=~/.config/gws-personal gws gmail users messages list --params '{"userId": "me", "q": "subject:hello"}'

Configured accounts on this machine

Account Config Dir Usage
[email protected] (work) ~/.config/gws/ Default — no prefix needed
[email protected] (personal) ~/.config/gws-personal/ Prefix: GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR=~/.config/gws-personal

Global Flags

Flag Description
--format <FORMAT> Output format: json (default), table, yaml, csv
--dry-run Validate locally without calling the API
--sanitize <TEMPLATE> Screen responses through Model Armor

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.
