About the project

SkillNet is infrastructure for finding, creating, evaluating, combining, and coordinating reusable capabilities for AI agents. Agent developers use it as a searchable and installable library of skills and as a system for selecting skills for particular tasks. The catalogue contains skills that can be discovered, installed, or used with SkillNet.

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.

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 →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

alfworld-tool-locator 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Instructions

Locate a specified tool or device by systematically checking receptacles where it is likely stored.

Workflow

  1. Prioritize search locations based on tool type:
    • Small tools/electronics (desklamp, remotecontrol): sidetable, desk, drawer, shelf
    • Kitchen tools (knife, spatula): countertop, cabinet, drawer
    • Cleaning tools (sponge, spraybottle): shelf, cabinet, countertop
    • Default: check all visible receptacles in order
  2. Navigate to each prioritized receptacle: go to {receptacle}
  3. Inspect the observation for the target tool name
  4. If found: Stop searching. Proceed to use the tool for the main task
  5. If not found: Continue to the next receptacle in the priority list
  6. If exhausted: Expand search to remaining receptacles not yet checked

Action Format

  • go to {receptacle} -- navigate to check a location
  • take {tool} from {receptacle} -- pick up the tool once found (if needed)
  • use {tool} / toggle {tool} -- operate the tool in place (e.g., desklamp)

Error Recovery

  • If "Nothing happened": verify the receptacle name matches the environment scan
  • If tool not found after all likely spots: expand search to every receptacle from the initial environment scan

Example

Scenario: You need to find a desklamp to examine an object.

Thought: I need to find a desklamp. Desklamps are usually on sidetables or desks.
Action: go to sidetable 1
Observation: On the sidetable 1, you see a keychain 1.
Thought: No desklamp here. Let me check the next sidetable.
Action: go to sidetable 2
Observation: On the sidetable 2, you see a desklamp 1.

Result: Found desklamp 1 on sidetable 2. Proceed to use it for the task.

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.

Changes

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.
