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.

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 | $0.00082 | $0.03690 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.01845 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00738 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00369 |
Grade B, and why
configuring-snort-ids-for-intrusion-detection 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Configuring Snort IDS for Intrusion Detection
When to Use
- Deploying a network-based intrusion detection system to monitor traffic at key network boundaries
- Writing custom Snort rules to detect organization-specific threats, attack patterns, or policy violations
- Tuning existing rulesets to reduce false positives while maintaining detection coverage
- Integrating Snort alerts with SIEM platforms for centralized security monitoring
- Validating network security controls by generating test traffic and confirming detection
Do not use as a replacement for endpoint detection, for monitoring encrypted traffic without TLS inspection, or as the sole security control without complementary defenses.
Prerequisites
- Snort 3.x installed from source or package manager (
snort --versionto verify) - Network interface configured for promiscuous mode on a span port or network tap
- DAQ (Data Acquisition Library) installed for packet capture integration
- Registered Snort account for downloading Snort Subscriber (paid) or Community rulesets from snort.org
- PulledPork 3 or similar rule management tool for automated ruleset updates
- Sufficient CPU and memory for inline traffic inspection at line rate
Workflow
Step 1: Install and Verify Snort 3
# Install dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)

# Install DAQ from source
git clone https://github.com/snort3/libdaq.git
cd libdaq && ./bootstrap && ./configure && make && sudo make install
# Install Snort 3
git clone https://github.com/snort3/snort3.git
cd snort3 && ./configure_cmake.sh --prefix=/usr/local
cd build && make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
# Verify installation

What ships with it
2 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.

configuring-snort-ids-for-intrusion-detection is a skill published in the GitHub repository Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up (3 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 3,690 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). It is 95% identical to configuring-snort-ids-for-intrusion-detection, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
