Install the Dynamic Code Compiler skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner --skill dynamic-code-compiler
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner.git /tmp/skill-scanner mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/skill-scanner/evals/skills/backdoor/magic-string-trigger ~/.claude/skills/dynamic-code-compiler
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 16 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 47 tok |
| Only if opened | 2 bundled files (2 KB) | varies |
Until it is used, dynamic-code-compiler costs about 85× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Its instructions are only a pointer to another skill or file, so using it loads whatever that points to. Installing all 38 skills from cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner would load 568 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
Checks
- Ships scripts the agent can run. Read them before installing.
- The name doesn't match its folder name, as the specification requires.
