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 | $0.00535 | $0.00535 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00214 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00107 | $0.00107 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00053 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
skills CLAUDE.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 2mo 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 — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project Conventions
This is a repository of agent skills following the Agent Skills specification.
Skill Structure
Each skill lives in skills/<skill-name>/ and must contain:
SKILL.md— YAML frontmatter (name,description) + markdown instructions- The
namefield must match the directory name (lowercase a-z, 0-9, hyphens; no leading/trailing/consecutive hyphens; max 64 chars) descriptionshould include trigger keywords so agents know when to activate the skill (max 1024 chars)- Keep
SKILL.mdunder 500 lines / ~5000 tokens; move detailed docs toreferences/
Optional frontmatter fields: license, compatibility, metadata (key-value map), allowed-tools
Optional directories:
scripts/— Python scripts using PEP 723 inline metadata for dependencies (run withuv run)references/— Additional documentation loaded on demandassets/— Static resources (templates, data files)
Skill Packs
Packs are named bundles of related skills defined in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json as entries in the plugins array. Each entry has:
name— Pack identifier (used for installation)description— What the pack providesskills— Array of paths to skill directories (e.g.,"./skills/my-skill")source— Always"./"strict— Set tofalseunless the pack should be the exclusive handler for matching tasks
A skill can belong to multiple packs. Users install a pack via /plugin install <pack-name>@ethansei-skills.
Python Scripts
- Use PEP 723 inline script metadata for dependency declarations
- Scripts must be non-interactive (no input prompts)
- Use structured output (JSON) over free-form text
- Include
--helpoutput - Support idempotency where possible
- Use meaningful exit codes
When Adding a New Skill
- Create
skills/<name>/SKILL.mdwith valid frontmatter - Consider adding the skill path to relevant packs in
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Update both tables in
README.md(Skill Packs and Available Skills)
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.
- 2mo ago First seen · 50 lines · 535 tokens per session scan A b592b7be11e0
skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository EthanSei/skills (2 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 535 tokens to every session, about $0.0021 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 2026-08-31.
