A command that lists the available Genesis skills, which are reusable capabilities for specific kinds of work. It can show the full catalogue or filter it by a keyword.

Use it to browse the Genesis skill catalogue or find skills related to a topic such as browsers.

It helps you discover available skills without knowing their names. The command reads a prepared catalogue and does not include Claude Code plugin skills.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00052	$0.00810
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00405
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00162
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00081

Security

Grade A, and why

list-skills 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

List Skills

Show a roster of the Genesis skill catalog (Tier-1 + Tier-2), grouped by tier, with a one-line description each. This complements the automatic skill-injection nudge (which surfaces one matching skill per prompt) — use /list-skills to browse the catalog at will. Note: this lists the Genesis catalog only, NOT Claude Code plugin skills (e.g. superpowers:*), which are invoked separately and are not part of this catalog.

Arguments

Optional filter after /list-skills:

/list-skills — list everything.
/list-skills browser — only skills whose name, description, or keywords match "browser" (case-insensitive).

Steps

Read the catalog. The roster comes from the prebuilt catalog at ~/.genesis/skill_catalog.json. Keeping it fresh is the skill-injection hook's job — on every prompt it spawns a background regeneration (with the correct interpreter) whenever the file is missing or older than an hour, so /list-skills only READS the catalog and never regenerates it itself:
```
cat ~/.genesis/skill_catalog.json
```
Structure: { "generated_at", "tier1": [...], "tier2": [...] }, each entry { name, description, keywords, tier, path }. Tier-1 skills live in .claude/skills/; Tier-2 in src/genesis/skills/ and ~/.genesis/skill-library/.

If the catalog is missing, empty, or not valid JSON, do NOT render an empty roster as though no skills exist:
- Missing or empty (e.g. a first-ever run before the hook's background regeneration has landed): tell the user it is still being generated and to run /list-skills again shortly.
- Present but not valid JSON (likely corrupt): the hook refreshes only on age, so a retry will NOT fix it — tell the user to delete ~/.genesis/skill_catalog.json (the injection hook rebuilds it on the next prompt), then re-run /list-skills.
Either way, stop rather than showing an empty roster.
Present the roster. State up front that this is the Genesis skill catalog (Tier-1 + Tier-2), NOT session commands or Claude Code plugin skills (superpowers:* etc.), and show the catalog's generated_at timestamp so the user can judge freshness (it refreshes at most hourly, so a just-added skill may briefly lag). Group and sort by name within each group:
- Tier 1 — always-indexed — the tier1 entries.
- Tier 2 — specialized — the tier2 entries.
- One line per skill: **<name>** — <first sentence of its description>. Keep each to a single scannable line; truncate long descriptions rather than reflowing them.
- Show the count per tier, the grand total, and the generated_at time.

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.

list-skills is a command published in the GitHub repository WingedGuardian/GENesis-AGI (96 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 810 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
