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.

SkillSpector: 11 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 →

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 | $0.00012 | $0.01785 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00892 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00357 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00178 |
Grade A, and why
inaturalist-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

iNaturalist API Guide
Overview
iNaturalist is a citizen science platform and social network for naturalists, jointly operated by the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society. The platform enables users to record and share observations of organisms in nature, which are then identified by the community and validated by computer vision models. With over 150 million observations of more than 400,000 species, iNaturalist is one of the largest biodiversity data sources in the world.
The iNaturalist API provides programmatic access to this massive observational dataset. Researchers can query observations by taxonomy, geography, time period, observer, and data quality grade. The API also provides access to taxonomic information, place boundaries, and project data. Research-grade observations (those with community-verified identifications) are automatically shared with GBIF for integration into the global biodiversity data infrastructure.
Ecologists, conservation biologists, evolutionary biologists, and citizen science coordinators use the iNaturalist API to analyze species distributions, track phenological patterns, study urban biodiversity, monitor invasive species, and validate species distribution models. The platform's broad geographic and taxonomic coverage makes it particularly valuable for large-scale ecological analyses.
Authentication
No authentication is required for read-only access to public data. The iNaturalist API v1 allows anonymous queries for observations, taxa, and places. Authentication via OAuth 2.0 is only needed for write operations such as creating observations, adding identifications, or managing projects.
For authenticated requests, register an application at https://www.inaturalist.org/oauth/applications and use the OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain an access token.

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.
- 6d ago First seen · 174 lines · 12 tokens per session scan A 6af78a5a088c
inaturalist-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository wentorai/research-plugins (291 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,785 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
