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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

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 5d 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.

Skill Structure

Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md file:

skills/<category>/<name>/
├── SKILL.md                     # Required — frontmatter + instructions
└── references/                  # Optional — lazy-loaded reference files
    └── <topic>.md

Frontmatter rules (verified against official docs)

Skills (SKILL.md):

  • Required: name, description
  • Recommended: trigger phrases in description ("Use when..." / "Make sure to use this skill whenever...")
  • Optional: paths (glob auto-activation), argument-hint, disable-model-invocation, user-invocable, allowed-tools, effort
  • Description budget: combined description + when_to_use truncated at 1,536 characters

Development Commands

pnpm install                     # First-time setup
bash scripts/list-skills.sh      # List all SKILL.md paths
pnpm run typecheck               # Type check TypeScript files
pnpm run format                  # Format all files
pnpm run format:check            # Verify formatting (CI)

Adding a Skill

  1. Create skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md
  2. Add the path to .claude-plugin/plugin.json under "skills"
  3. Run bash scripts/list-skills.sh to verify it is discoverable

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.
