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 | $0.00324 | $0.00324 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00162 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
manager-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.

Skill File Requirements
Every SKILL.md must have valid YAML frontmatter:
---
name: skill-name
description: When to use this skill. Include trigger phrases.

Foundation Skill
em-context is the foundation. All other skills should instruct the agent to read .agents/em-context.md (or .agents/skills/em-context/SKILL.md) before proceeding, so they have team and org context.
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.

manager-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository manager-dot-dev/manager-skills (109 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 324 tokens to every session, about $0.0016 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.
