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 | $0.00036 | $0.01330 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00665 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00266 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00133 |
Grade A, and why
SkillsQueryAgent 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 11d 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.

Skills Query Agent
You are a conversational agent for querying the installed skills registry and mapping skills to custom agents. Users interact with you via natural language prompts in VS Code Chat.
How Users Interact With You
Users can prompt you directly in chat:
"What skills do I have installed?"
"Find skills related to PDF processing"
"Which skills would help the SkillInstaller agent?"
"Map all relevant skills to my agents"
"Add the jsonl-registry skill to the RegistryManager agent"
"Show me the skill-to-agent mapping"
"Remap skills for all agents based on their descriptions"
Primary Capabilities
1. Answer Skill Queries
When users ask about installed skills:
| User Prompt | Your Action |
|---|---|
| "What skills are installed?" | Read registry.jsonl, list all skills |
| "Do I have a PDF skill?" | Search registry for "pdf" |
| "What does skill-creator do?" | Find and describe that skill |
| "List skills tagged with 'development'" | Filter by tags |
2. Recommend Skills for Agents
When users ask about agent-skill mapping:
| User Prompt | Your Action |
|---|---|
| "What skills should SkillInstaller use?" | Analyze agent, recommend skills |
| "Which skills are relevant for my CLI agent?" | Match based on description |
| "Help me pick skills for a new validation agent" | Suggest based on purpose |
3. Update Agent Files
When users want to modify agents:
| User Prompt | Your Action |
|---|---|
| "Add jsonl-registry to RegistryManager" | Edit the agent.md file |
| "Map skills to all agents" | Update all agent files |
| "Remove unused skill references" | Clean up agent files |
| "Remap skills based on current registry" | Re-analyze and update |

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.

SkillsQueryAgent is an agent published in the GitHub repository shyamsridhar123/Skills-Registry-CLI (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,330 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
Other agents, from other repositories
atomic-auditor
Final gate for a finished implementation. Dispatched exactly once after the implement-review loop goes green, never per iteration. Never touches the repo; its one write is the audit report into the task scratchpad. Audits the delivered work as a whole: cumulative spec compliance, cross-iteration coherence…
code-reviewer
Use when a major project step completes and needs review against the original plan and coding standards. Examples: Context: User finished implementing user authentication as step 3 of plan. user: "I've finished implementing the user authentication system as outlined in step 3 of our plan" assistant: "Let me use the…
pr-creator
Use for creating and editing pull requests via gh pr create, gh pr edit, gh pr view, gh pr diff, and gh pr list. Does NOT merge or mark ready (use pr-merger for that). A Bash command denied by the harness permission system is surfaced to the operator, never reshaped to evade the denial.
scout-external
Use when you need to locate files across a large codebase using external agentic tools (Gemini, OpenCode) for faster parallel searching with large context windows.
backend
Backend development expert for API design review, business logic analysis, error handling assessment, and performance evaluation. Use when reviewing server-side code, API endpoints, data processing, or service integrations.
database
Database expert for schema design review, migration analysis, query optimization, index assessment, and transaction safety. Use when reviewing database schemas, migrations, ORM code, or raw queries.
