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 | $0.00598 | $0.00598 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00239 | $0.00239 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
geoscience-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 1mo 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository guidance
Geoscience Skills provides portable Agent Skills for coding assistants: 39 domain
skills, 8 workflows, and the using-geoscience-skills router. Shared content
follows https://agentskills.io/specification and must work without a particular
agent's hooks, slash commands, delegation API, or plugin manager.
Layout
<library>/SKILL.md: domain guidance, with localreferences/andscripts/.workflows/<name>/SKILL.md: multi-library workflows.using-geoscience-skills/SKILL.md: on-demand discovery and routing.agents/: optional role guides; not a portable agent registration format..claude/: optional Claude Code configuration for this checkout..claude-plugin/marketplace.json,openclaw.plugin.json: generated platform adapters.docs/COMPATIBILITY.md: installation targets, sources, and verification scope.
Editing skills
Use the template and schema in CONTRIBUTING.md and docs/SKILL_TEMPLATE.md.
Keep standard fields at the frontmatter root. Custom project fields belong in
metadata, whose keys and values are strings. Encode list-valued project
metadata as JSON array strings. Preserve dependency information when migrating
formats; these declarations do not install Python packages automatically.
Describe the task and selection criteria without naming a particular assistant. Keep entrypoints as concise as the task permits; there is no minimum line or tag count. Load references only when relevant. Do not require unavailable companion skills, optional commands, or subagents to complete ordinary tasks.
For scientific examples, preserve units, coordinate systems, missing-value semantics, assumptions, and provenance. Do not silently change calculations as part of a packaging or documentation task.
Validation
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py
python3 scripts/sync_manifests.py --check
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
After changing skill names, paths, or descriptions, regenerate adapters with
python3 scripts/sync_manifests.py and update the human-readable SKILLS.md index.
For installation changes, run python3 scripts/check_installation.py; this uses
the upstream skills CLI in temporary projects and requires Node.js and network
access. It does not exercise each coding agent's model or the scientific stack.
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.

geoscience-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository SteadfastAsArt/geoscience-skills (72 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 598 tokens to every session, about $0.0024 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 2026-09-15.
