Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00991 | $0.00991 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00495 | $0.00495 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00198 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00099 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
document-SKILLs AGENTS.md 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 4d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Document Skills
Skills for creating, reading, and manipulating PDF, PPTX, XLSX, and DOCX files.
CLAUDE.mdin this directory is a symlink to this file (AGENTS.md).
Python
- Always use
uv runto execute Python scripts in these skills. - All directly-run scripts declare their dependencies via PEP 723 inline metadata —
uv runresolves them automatically. (Library modules imported by those scripts inherit the runner's environment and need no header of their own.) No manualpip installneeded. - When writing a new script, add a PEP 723 header:
# /// script # requires-python = ">=3.12" # dependencies = ["pypdf", "Pillow"] # /// - Never run bare
pip install. Never use the system Python (/usr/bin/python3).

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.

document-SKILLs AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository appautomaton/document-SKILLs (157 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 991 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 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.
