pywayne-bin-gettool

pywayne-bin-gettool is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wangyendt/wayne-skills. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,580 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for downloading C++ libraries and tools from a shared source repository. It can also build some of them with CMake, install them, and check whether Python bindings can be imported.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch libraries such as Eigen, OpenCV, PCL, or fmt, optionally build them from source, install supported tools, and bundle runtime files for Python extensions.
Why use it?
It avoids manually cloning repositories, choosing target folders, running build commands, and repeating setup steps for each library.

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

pywayne-bin-gettool 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 5d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

gettool pcl -i --global-install-flag true # Use sudo make install

Pywayne Bin Gettool

Tool fetcher for C++ libraries from cpp_tools repository. Supports sparse/partial checkout, optional building with CMake, runtime dependency bundling for pybind modules, import verification, and installation scripts.

Quick Start

# List all supported tools
gettool -l

# Fetch a tool to default path (based on name_to_path_map.yaml)
gettool <tool_name>

# Fetch to specific path
gettool <tool_name> -t <target_path>

# Fetch and build (if buildable)
gettool <tool_name> -b

# Fetch and install (if installable)
gettool <tool_name> -i

Usage Patterns

1. List Available Tools

When user wants to see what tools are available:

gettool -l

2. Simple Fetch

Download tool source code to default path (determined by name_to_path_map.yaml in current directory):

gettool opencv
gettool eigen

3. Fetch with Custom Target

Download tool to a specific directory:

gettool opencv -t third_party/opencv
gettool eigen -t external/eigen

4. Build from Source

Build the tool using CMake. Requirements:

  • Tool must be marked as buildable: true in name_to_path_map.yaml
  • Tool must have a CMakeLists.txt file
  • Build output (lib/) is copied to target directory
  • The active Python interpreter is passed to CMake as PYTHON_EXECUTABLE
  • If configured, runtime libraries are bundled into the target directory and the Python module import is verified
gettool apriltag_detection -b
gettool <tool_name> -b -t build/<tool_name>

5. Clean Copy (src + include only)

Fetch only src/ and include/ directories if they exist:

gettool eigen -c

6. Fetch and Install

After fetching, execute the tool's installation script (if configured):

gettool pcl -i
gettool pcl -i --global-install-flag true  # Use sudo make install

7. Fetch Specific Version

Check out a specific version/tag/branch (only works for tools that are submodules):

gettool fmt -v 9.1.0

8. Manage Repository URL

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.
