help

help is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,200 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A directory for discovering available coding skills, grouped into categories such as building, planning, quality, memory, and operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to find the right workflow or skill for a task, such as build, Git, planning, quality, or configuration work.
Why use it?
It avoids having to remember every available skill or search through files manually. You can browse a category or list all user-invocable skills.

Command for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: allowed-tools in frontmatter, but also a Cursor plugin manifest. Also seen: model in frontmatter; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the ork plugin — 111 skills, 38 commands, 36 agents, 32 hooks shipped together

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

help 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 17d 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.

OrchestKit Skill Directory

Dynamic skill discovery: enumerates the installed plugin at runtime so listings are never stale.

CC 2.1.121+ tip: if you just want to find one skill quickly, the native /skills command now has type-to-filter — open it and start typing the skill name. Use help when you want categorized browsing or rationale for why a skill applies.

Quick Start

help           # Show all categories
help build     # Show BUILD skills only
help git       # Show GIT skills only
help all       # List every user-invocable skill

Argument Resolution

CATEGORY = "$ARGUMENTS[0]"  # Optional: build, git, plan, quality, memory, config, explore, design, ops, all
# If provided, skip AskUserQuestion and show that category directly.
# $ARGUMENTS is the full string (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)

STEP 0: Dynamic Skill Discovery

ALWAYS run this first to get accurate, up-to-date skill data:

# ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} is set by the plugin runtime and points at the INSTALLED
# plugin. That is the normal case: a marketplace user has no src/ directory.
SKILLS_ROOT = "skills"
matches = Grep(pattern="user-invocable:\\s*true", path=SKILLS_ROOT, output_mode="files_with_matches")

# Dogfooding fallback: inside the OrchestKit repo itself the skills live in the
# source tree. Retry there if the env var was unset or the probe found nothing.
if not matches:
    SKILLS_ROOT = "src/skills"
    matches = Grep(pattern="user-invocable:\\s*true", path=SKILLS_ROOT, output_mode="files_with_matches")

If BOTH probes return zero files, say so plainly ("could not locate the OrchestKit skills directory, checked skills and src/skills") and stop. Do NOT substitute a remembered list of skill names. Any such list is stale by construction and a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer.

For each matched file, read the frontmatter to get name, description, version, complexity, argument-hint and tags:

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.
