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 | $0.00858 | $0.00858 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00343 | $0.00343 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00172 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
skills-bank 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 1mo 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DO NOT scan
lib/(2.1G, 10k SKILL.md, 122 repos). It is raw clone cache, not curated.
Canonical Discovery (3 hops, not 122)
- Open
skills-aggregated/AGENTS.md— pick hub from 4 (business, code-quality, frontend, server-side) - Open
skills-aggregated/<hub>/SKILL.md— pick sub-hub (16 total, not 122) - Open
skills-aggregated/<hub>/<sub-hub>/routing.csv— findskill_idby description, readsrc_path(points tolib/.../SKILL.md) or symlink<sub-hub>/<skill_id>/SKILL.md
Opencode Native (if synced)
When synced, hubs are also available via skill tool as 4 entries (business, code-quality, frontend, server-side) — 120 tokens, not 3840. Load hub via skill, then follow routing.csv.
Anti-Patterns
- NEVER
Glob **/SKILL.mdon repo root (hitslib/→ 212k tokens) - NEVER read
lib/SKILL.md(deleted router, was 122 repos) - ALWAYS use
skills-aggregated/routers +src_pathsource-of-truth
MCP Tools: code-review-graph
This project has a knowledge graph. Start with the code-review-graph MCP tools to narrow scope, then read the source. The graph is cheaper than scanning files and gives you structural context (callers, dependents, test coverage) that file search cannot.
When to use graph tools FIRST
- Exploring code:
semantic_search_nodes_toolorquery_graph_toolinstead of Grep - Understanding impact:
get_impact_radius_toolinstead of manually tracing imports - Code review:
detect_changes_tool+get_review_context_toolinstead of reading entire files - Finding relationships:
query_graph_toolwith callers_of/callees_of/imports_of/tests_for - Architecture questions:
get_architecture_overview_tool+list_communities_tool
Verify in the source
- Narrow scope with the graph, then read the source. Do not change code from graph output alone.
- For any non-trivial change, read the implementation and the relevant tests before concluding.
- Verify the exact source when touching behavior, database logic, migrations, retries, fallbacks, recovery, or compatibility code.
- When the graph and the source disagree, the source wins. The graph may be stale or may not model that relationship.
- An empty graph result can mean "not indexed" or "not statically visible", not "does not exist".
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.

skills-bank is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository abdulsamed1/AI-skills-bank (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 858 tokens to every session, about $0.0034 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
