SkillSpector: 2 findings, 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 57
    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.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 77
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

animaworks-guide 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 18d 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.

AnimaWorks CLI Complete Reference

All AnimaWorks operations are performed using the animaworks command. This skill is a reference summarizing the formats, arguments, and concrete examples of all subcommands.

For operational principles and rules, refer to common_knowledge/ and reference/:

  • Messaging rules → communication/messaging-guide.md
  • Task management → operations/task-management.md
  • Tool system → operations/tool-usage-overview.md
  • Organization structure → reference/organization/structure.md
  • Model selection and configuration → reference/operations/model-guide.md

Deprecated and Compatibility Aliases

# --local(deprecated: ProcessSupervisor をバイパスする直接実行。HTTP API 経由が推奨)
animaworks chat {名前} "..." --local
animaworks heartbeat {名前} --local

Recommended: Start the server with animaworks start (or serve), and use chat / heartbeat without adding --local.

gateway / worker subcommands are hidden compatibility options (do not use after the distributed architecture is discontinued).


Server Operations (generally avoid using)

animaworks start                         # サーバー起動(デフォルト: 0.0.0.0:18500)
animaworks serve                         # start のエイリアス
animaworks start --host 127.0.0.1        # バインドアドレス指定
animaworks start --port 8080             # ポート指定
animaworks start --foreground            # フォアグラウンド起動(-f、デバッグ用)
animaworks stop                          # サーバー停止
animaworks stop --force                  # 強制停止(SIGTERM後SIGKILL、孤立プロセスも終了)
animaworks restart                       # サーバー再起動(--host / --port / -f / --force 可)
animaworks restart --force               # 強制停止してから再起動
animaworks status                        # システム状態確認(プロセス・Anima一覧)
animaworks reset                         # ランタイムディレクトリ削除+再初期化
animaworks reset --restart               # リセット後サーバー自動起動

Anima Management (anima subcommand)

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.
