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.

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 | $0.00787 | $0.00787 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00394 | $0.00394 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00157 | $0.00157 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00079 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
agents 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 2d 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

claude plugin marketplace add astronomer/agents
# Install the plugin
claude plugin install astronomer-data@astronomer
# Or test locally (session only)

After adding skills or making changes, reinstall the plugin:
claude plugin uninstall astronomer-data@astronomer && claude plugin marketplace update && claude plugin install astronomer-data@astronomer
Skills
Skills are markdown files with YAML frontmatter in skills/<name>/SKILL.md:
---
name: skill-name
description: When to use this skill (Claude uses this to decide when to invoke it)
---
# Skill content here...
- Skills are auto-discovered from the
skills/directory - Claude invokes skills automatically based on the description matching user requests
- Users can also invoke directly with
/plugin-name:skill-name(e.g.,/astronomer-data:authoring-dags)
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.
