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 | $0.00261 | $0.00261 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
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 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.
What it actually says
Repository Instructions
This repository publishes Agent Skills from biw/skills.
- Put installable skills under
skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. - When adding an installable skill, add it to the README's Available Skills list with a link and concise description.
- Start from both templates under
templates/skill/, includingagents/openai.yaml.tmpl. - Keep the
namefrontmatter exactly equal to the parent folder name. - Write descriptions as clear trigger surfaces in 200 characters or fewer.
- Keep starter material under
templates/with.tmplsuffixes so the CLI does not publish it. - Add scripts, references, and assets only when they directly support a skill; test executable helpers.
- The skill installer copies every file below
skills/<skill-name>/except a few metadata/cache paths. Keep development tests exclusively undertests/<skill-name>/; never place*.test.*or*.spec.*files inside an installable skill directory. - Run
pnpm validatebefore committing skill changes. - Use
pnpm skills add . --listto smoke-test CLI discovery after at least one skill exists. - Do not commit scratch repos or generated output.
.context/is for local agent collaboration only.
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 AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository biw/skills (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT.
