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 | $0.00320 | $0.00320 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00160 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00064 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
agent-skills-best-practice tech.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Technology Stack
This is primarily a documentation and examples repository; the only runtime dependency is Python for tooling.
Dependencies
- Python 3.10+ with
pyyaml(seerequirements.txt) — used by the skill validation script. - Some individual skills declare their own dependencies inside their folders (e.g.
requirements.txtin slack-gif-creator, mcp-builder).
Common Commands
# Install tooling dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Validate one skill
python3 skills-workshop/scripts/quick_validate.py skills/skills/<name>
# Validate all skills (same loop CI runs)
for d in skills/skills/*/; do
[ -f "${d}SKILL.md" ] && python3 skills-workshop/scripts/quick_validate.py "$d"
done
# Install skills into Kiro
./install.sh hello-world api-design # or --all
CI
GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/validate-skills.yml) runs quick_validate.py against every skill on push and pull request. Validation enforces the Agent Skills spec (frontmatter fields, kebab-case naming, name matches folder, length limits) and the 500-line SKILL.md body limit.
Repository Rules
- No binary document files (PDF, PPTX, DOCX — gitignored).
- No PII, customer data, credentials, or secrets.
- New content is MIT; skills imported from anthropics/skills remain Apache 2.0.
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.

agent-skills-best-practice tech.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 320 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 2026-09-06.
