SkillSpector: 3 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 10 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 36 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.

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 | $0.00045 | $0.01657 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00663 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00331 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00166 |
Grade A, and why
using-git-worktrees 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 1mo 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.

Using Git Worktrees
Overview
Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.
Core principle: Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.
Announce at start: "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."
Directory Selection Process
Follow this priority order:
1. Check Existing Directories
# Check in priority order
ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null # Preferred (hidden)
ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null # Alternative
If found: Use that directory. If both exist, .worktrees wins.
2. Check AGENTS.md
grep -i "worktree" AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null
If preference specified: Use it without asking.
3. Check CLAUDE.md (Backward Compatibility Only)
grep -i "worktree" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
Use only if AGENTS.md is absent or has no worktree convention.
4. Ask User
If no directory exists and no AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md preference:
No worktree directory found. Where should I create worktrees?
1. .worktrees/ (project-local, hidden)
2. ~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/<project-name>/ (global location)
Which would you prefer?
Safety Verification
AGENTS.md Overrides Generic Defaults
If AGENTS.md defines a worktree convention, follow it exactly.
Examples:
- sibling directory naming such as
SA-AIAPP-<task-slug> - branch naming such as
codex/<task-slug> - repository-specific setup or baseline verification commands
Do not override a repository-local convention with this skill's generic .worktrees/ preference.
For Project-Local Directories (.worktrees or worktrees)
MUST verify directory is ignored before creating worktree:
# Check if directory is ignored (respects local, global, and system gitignore)
git check-ignore -q .worktrees 2>/dev/null || git check-ignore -q worktrees 2>/dev/null
If NOT ignored:
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 251 lines · 45 tokens per session scan A fa7c1f438e88
using-git-worktrees is a skill published in the GitHub repository zhanglongxiao111/indesign-cli (59 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,657 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
repo-hygiene
Use when the scheduled repo-hygiene workflow runs from GitHub Actions (or an operator dry-run) to scan the repository for small, certain docs/test/code hygiene issues and fix them as one batched branch.
gh-skill
Manage agent skills with gh skill. Use this skill to discover, preview, install, update, and publish Agent Skills so an agent can self-manage the skills available in its environment.
cw-gates
Use before claiming any Codewhale change is done, green, or ready to land: the focused-to-broad verification ladder, the budget checks CI enforces, and the rules for what counts as a passing test.

Conventional Commit - Generate Conventional Commits 1.0.0 compliant messages. MANDATORY for all git commits. Invoke when user says 'commit', 'commit this', or asks to commit code.
merge
Resolve an in-progress merge or rebase by the intent of both sides, re-run the full gate on the merged tree, and finish the operation.
