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 | $0.00020 | $0.00891 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
claim 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 2d 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 — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Claim
ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of
metadata.changelogabove — e.g.claim vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.
Select the next issue from the GitHub Issues backlog and mark it as in-progress.

| GitHub Labels | status:, priority:, skill:* | Yes | Yes | Update status |
Prerequisites
ghCLI installed and authenticated (gh auth status)- Repository has required labels (run
/backlogto check/create)
Process
Step 1: Check Current Work
gh issue list --label "status:in-progress" --state open --json number,title --limit 1
If an issue is already in-progress, report it and ask:
- Continue that work (show full issue)
- Park it and claim something new
- Cancel
Step 2: Select Issue
If specific issue number provided ($ARGUMENTS):
gh issue view $ARGUMENTS --json number,title,body,labels,state
Verify it exists and is open.
If no argument — find highest priority todo:
# Try P0 first
gh issue list --label "priority:p0" --label "status:todo" --state open --json number,title,body,labels --limit 1
# If none, try P1
gh issue list --label "priority:p1" --label "status:todo" --state open --json number,title,body,labels --limit 1
# If none, try P2
gh issue list --label "priority:p2" --label "status:todo" --state open --json number,title,body,labels --limit 1
# If none, try any status:todo
gh issue list --label "status:todo" --state open --json number,title,body,labels --limit 1
Step 3: Move to In-Progress
gh issue edit $ISSUE_NUMBER --remove-label "status:todo" --add-label "status:in-progress"
gh issue comment $ISSUE_NUMBER --body "Claimed — starting work."
Step 4: Present Issue
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.

claim is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (11 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 891 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
wayfinder
Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
setup-matt-pocock-skills
Configure this repo for the engineering skills: set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
accessibility
Consolidated accessibility skill entrypoint for WCAG 2.2, ARIA Authoring Practices, cognitive accessibility, Section 508, EN 301 549, design intent verification, and the Accessibility Planner workflow.
release-notes
Generate user-facing release notes from tickets, PRDs, or changelogs. Creates clear, engaging summaries organized by category (new features, improvements, fixes). Use when writing release notes, creating changelogs, announcing product updates, or summarizing what shipped.
retro
Facilitate a structured sprint retrospective — what went well, what didn't, and prioritized action items with owners and deadlines. Use when running a retrospective, reflecting on a sprint, creating action items from team feedback, or learning how to run effective retros.
bug-triage
Read all open bugs in production/qa/bugs/, re-evaluate priority vs. severity, assign to sprints, surface systemic trends, and produce a triage report. Run at sprint start or when the bug count grows enough to need re-prioritization.
