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 | $0.00222 | $0.00222 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00111 | $0.00111 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00044 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00022 |
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
AGENTS.md
Markdown-first skills collection — no build, tests, or linters. Skills may ship small helper scripts under skills/<name>/scripts/.
Skill File Format
- Each skill lives at
skills/<name>/SKILL.mdwith YAML frontmatter (name,description,version). descriptionMUST be a single-line string — never a YAML block scalar (|or>); block scalars break skill registration.- Keep
description≤1024 chars, or Codex CLI silently skips the skill. - Optional
references/subdirectory for supporting docs, linked from SKILL.md.
Non-Obvious Rules
- Keep skills self-contained: each SKILL.md must work standalone, with no dependency on other skills.
- Register every new skill in
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json(theskillsarray) or it won't be published. - The skills.sh renderer crashes on Markdown tables and zero-width-char fence hacks in SKILL.md — use bullet lists and 4-backtick outer fences instead.
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 mryll/skills (3 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 222 tokens to every session, about $0.0011 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 2026-08-31.
