What is enablement-skills AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for a collection of reusable coding-agent skills, including their files, packaging rules, versions, tests, and release documents.

Use them when adding, validating, packaging, versioning, or documenting skills in the enablement-skills repository.

They define where each skill's source of truth lives and what files a valid distributable skill must contain, reducing packaging and maintenance errors.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01490	$0.01490
Opus 5.5	$0.00596	$0.00596
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00298	$0.00298
Haiku 4.5	$0.00149	$0.00149

Security

Grade A, and why

enablement-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 24d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Contributor and operator guide for this repository.

Purpose

This repository packages reusable enablement skills for broad deployment. Treat it as distributable infrastructure, not a personal prompt collection.

Scope

In scope: skills/, host packaging, bundle manifests, system playbooks, validation and evals, examples, lifecycle documentation.
Out of scope: one-off prompts, private credentials, customer data, environment-specific workarounds, and undocumented side-effect automations.

Source Of Truth

Skill behavior: skills/<skill-name>/
Packaging and compatibility state: VERSIONS.md
Release history: CHANGELOG.md
User orientation and installation: README.md
Bundle membership: plugins/BUNDLES.md

Portable Standard And Repository Policy

The portable Agent Skills format requires a skill folder containing SKILL.md with name and description frontmatter.

This repository uses a stricter local contract. Each canonical skill folder must include:

SKILL.md
agents/openai.yaml
a matching artifact under scripts/evals/skills/

Frontmatter in canonical SKILL.md files must contain exactly:

name
description

Use lowercase hyphenated names, match the folder name, and keep published names stable. Treat these additional rules as repository policy rather than requirements of the portable standard.

Craft Contract

Heading names are not required. A coaching skill, a router, and a house-style skill should not look the same. Every canonical skill must still do these jobs, under whatever headings fit:

One job, said in a sentence a practitioner would say out loud.
One leading concept, plus a short good excerpt and a short bad excerpt.
Intake only for inputs that change this output.
A procedure or named rules, with a checkable done-test on each step.
Gotchas the model will hit without being told, and a quality bar a human can score in two minutes.

Use enablement-house-style for shared authoring conventions and explicit editorial reviews. Bundled skills do not inherit one another's instructions. Each specialist must carry the evidence, confidentiality, and action boundaries essential to its own job. Keep those constraints specific; do not copy the full house-style guide into each skill.

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.
