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 →

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 | $0.00078 | $0.01402 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00701 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00280 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
nano-banana 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 10d 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.

Nano Banana Image Generation
Generate professional images via the Gemini CLI's nanobanana extension.
When to Use This Skill
ALWAYS use this skill when the user:
- Asks for any image, graphic, illustration, or visual
- Wants a thumbnail, featured image, or banner
- Requests icons, diagrams, or patterns
- Asks to edit, modify, or restore a photo
- Uses words like: generate, create, make, draw, design, visualize
Do NOT attempt to generate images through any other method.
Before First Use
- Verify extension is installed:
gemini extensions list | grep nanobanana - If missing, install it:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/nanobanana - Verify API key is set:
[ -n "$GEMINI_API_KEY" ] && echo "API key configured" || echo "Missing GEMINI_API_KEY"
Command Selection
| User Request | Command |
|---|---|
| "make me a blog header" | /generate |
| "create an app icon" | /icon |
| "draw a flowchart of..." | /diagram |
| "fix this old photo" | /restore |
| "remove the background" | /edit |
| "create a repeating texture" | /pattern |
| "make a comic strip" | /story |

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.
- 10d ago First seen · 150 lines · 78 tokens per session scan A 8ca02bb1b57e
nano-banana is a skill published in the GitHub repository zai-org/Synapse (507 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,402 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.
