SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 3 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.
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 | $0.00077 | $0.01460 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00730 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00292 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
plugin-creator 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.

Plugin Creator
Quick Start
- Run the scaffold script:
# Plugin names are normalized to lower-case hyphen-case and must be <= 64 chars.
# The generated folder and plugin.json name are always the same.
# Run from repo root (or replace .agents/... with the absolute path to this SKILL).
# By default creates in <repo_root>/plugins/<plugin-name>.
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py <plugin-name>
-
Open
<plugin-path>/.codex-plugin/plugin.jsonand replace[TODO: ...]placeholders. -
Generate or update the repo marketplace entry when the plugin should appear in Codex UI ordering:
# marketplace.json always lives at <repo-root>/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py my-plugin --with-marketplace
For a home-local plugin, treat <home> as the root and use:
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py my-plugin \
--path ~/plugins \
--marketplace-path ~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json \
--with-marketplace
- Generate/adjust optional companion folders as needed:
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py my-plugin --path <parent-plugin-directory> \
--with-skills --with-hooks --with-scripts --with-assets --with-mcp --with-apps --with-marketplace
<parent-plugin-directory> is the directory where the plugin folder <plugin-name> will be created (for example ~/code/plugins).
What this skill creates
- If the user has not made the plugin location explicit, ask whether they want a repo-local plugin or a home-local plugin before generating marketplace entries.
- Creates plugin root at
/<parent-plugin-directory>/<plugin-name>/. - Always creates
/<parent-plugin-directory>/<plugin-name>/.codex-plugin/plugin.json. - Fills the manifest with the full schema shape, placeholder values, and the complete
interfacesection. - Creates or updates
<repo-root>/.agents/plugins/marketplace.jsonwhen--with-marketplaceis set.- If the marketplace file does not exist yet, seed top-level
nameplusinterface.displayNameplaceholders before adding the first plugin entry.
- If the marketplace file does not exist yet, seed top-level
<plugin-name>is normalized using skill-creator naming rules:My Plugin→my-pluginMy--Plugin→my-plugin- underscores, spaces, and punctuation are converted to
- - result is lower-case hyphen-delimited with consecutive hyphens collapsed
- Supports optional creation of:
skills/hooks/scripts/assets/.mcp.json.app.json
What ships with it
4 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.

plugin-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills (21 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,460 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
