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 5.1 | $0.00118 | $0.06166 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.03083 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01233 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00617 |
Grade A, and why
create-skill-autoresearch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Create Skill via Autoresearch Factory
A factory for forging production-grade agent skills through gold-standard-driven autoresearch, multi-agent verification, and structured consensus.
The factory orchestrates 4 agent roles through 5 phases:
| Phase | What Happens | Agent Role |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Interview | Discover purpose, gold standards, scope | ORCHESTRATOR |
| 2. Research | Study domain materials, build dossier, propose rubric | RESEARCHER (N parallel) |
| 3. Draft | Design structure, generate SKILL.md, measure baseline | BUILDER |
| 4. Autoresearch | Iterate skill against gold standards (LLM-as-judge, or an objective real-world metric for procedural skills — see 3.4) | BUILDER + autoresearch skill |
| 5. Verify | Premortem, panel scoring, consensus, ship/iterate | PANEL (3 subagents) |
Key constraint: BUILDER and PANEL never share context. Panel receives only the skill output, gold standards, and rubric -- no bias from the building process.
Relation to create-skill
This factory extends the official single-pass skill creators (Anthropic's Skills best-practices and skill-creator; Cursor's create-skill) rather than replacing them. It adds what a one-shot generator cannot: a research dossier, gold-standard benchmarking, an autonomous improvement loop, and independent multi-agent verification. The skills it produces follow the same official conventions -- see references/skill-authoring-best-practices.md.
Companion skills
The factory orchestrates these sibling skills at runtime: autoresearch (Phase 4 improvement loop), premortem (Phase 5 risk pass), and handoff (cross-session continuity); the Phase 5 panel/consensus design draws on llm-council. In this harness they are vendored under .agents/skills/. If you install this skill standalone, install those alongside it. The factory's craft layer (references/skill-craft-principles.md) is distilled from writing-great-skills (mattpocock/skills, MIT), which the harness vendors under .agents/skills/. Phase 5 will delegate to tribunal when it is installed (see 5.2).
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

create-skill-autoresearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository a-tokyo/agent-skills-harness (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 6,166 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to create-skill-autoresearch, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
create-notes
Write a note to {shareddir}/notes/ that future agents can actually act on. Use after every coral eval, when a heartbeat (reflect / consolidate / pivot) asks for a note, or when you discover a grader / build / runtime issue that future agents will hit. Covers 4 note variants (experiment / infra / focus / synthesis)…
arbor-agent-executor
Executor-dispatch phase for Arbor. Use when implementing an Idea Tree node through RunExecutor or RunExecutorParallel semantics: isolated git worktree, executor prompt construction, eval metadata injection, RunTraining policy, smoke/full evaluation, report parsing, artifact persistence, tree update, and insight…
arbor-agent-ideate
Strict IDEATE-stage skill for Arbor. Use immediately after TreeView(format="constraints") when drafting Idea Tree nodes, enforcing the ideadrafting and firstprinciplesprobe behavior, depth-aware idea levels, four-line TreeAddNode hypotheses, conflict checks, and self-filtering against shallow tweaks.
grid-ctf-ops
Operational knowledge for the gridctf scenario including strategy playbook, lessons learned, and resource references. Use when generating, evaluating, coaching, or debugging gridctf strategies.
codex-autoresearch
Run autonomous, measurable experiments in a Git repository: change one hypothesis, verify a numeric metric, keep improvements, and revert failures. Use when the user wants Codex to keep iterating toward a numeric target in the foreground or as a detached background run. Do not use for ordinary one-shot coding…
baseline-comparison-audit
Audit whether a paper's baseline comparisons are COMPLETE, FAIR, and SIGNIFICANT: a required recent SOTA baseline is missing while 'best/SOTA' is claimed (HP-MISSING-BASELINE); a baseline is undertuned / given less compute-tuning-data, run at a mismatched config, or the equal-budget ablation-as-baseline is absent…
