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 | $0.04131 | $0.04131 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01652 | $0.01652 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00826 | $0.00826 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00413 | $0.00413 |
Grade C, and why
Copilot-Skills docs-to-skill.instructions.md scanned grade C with 2 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
- Clean old data periodically: `rm -rf output/*_data/` Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Docs to Skill - Instructions
When working with documentation scraping, skill generation, or queries containing "docs to skill" or "documentation converter", this context activates.
Core Purpose
Teach AI agents how to discover and use documentation scraping tools to transform ANY documentation website into production-ready Claude skills.
Key Distinction: This skill GENERATES Claude skills from external documentation. For project documentation, use /document-project.
Auto-Loaded Behaviors
When user mentions "docs to skill" or "scrape docs"
Immediate Actions:
- Suggest
/docs-to-skillskill - Discover available documentation scraping tools
- Validate tool capabilities
- Guide workflow selection
Discovery Pattern:
# Find documentation scraping tools
find . -name "*doc*scrap*" -o -name "*skill*seek*" -type d
# Validate Python scraping tools
find . -name "doc_scraper.py" -type f
# Check for configuration directories
find . -name "configs" -type d -path "*/examples/*" -o -path "*/tools/*"
When user has documentation URL
Immediate Actions:
- Discover available tool
- Check for matching preset
- Estimate documentation size
- Recommend appropriate strategy
Decision Tree:
Has URL → Find tool → Check presets → Estimate → Choose strategy

When analyzing documentation sites
Validate Before Scraping:
- Check
robots.txtcompliance - Identify documentation structure
- Estimate total pages
- Recommend selectors and patterns
- Suggest appropriate rate limiting (0.5s minimum)
Tool Discovery Protocol
Step 1: Find Available Tools
# Search for documentation scraping directories
SCRAPER_DIRS=$(find . -maxdepth 3 -name "*doc*scrap*" -o -name "*skill*seek*" -type d)
# Search for scraping scripts
SCRAPER_SCRIPTS=$(find . -name "doc_scraper.py" -o -name "*scrape*.py" -type f)
# Common locations to check:
# - examples/Skill_Seekers/
# - examples/*/cli/
# - tools/doc_scraper/
# - scripts/scraping/
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.
