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 | $0.00027 | $0.00620 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00310 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
close 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Close
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.close vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.
Complete the current in-progress issue with a summary comment. For issues where skill files were modified, use /commit instead — it closes the issue and creates a git commit in one step.
State Dependencies
| Source | Location | Read | Write | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub Issues | Current repo | Yes | Yes | Close issue |
| GitHub Labels | status:* | Yes | Yes | Update status |
Process
Step 1: Check for Uncommitted Changes
git status --short
If SKILL.md files appear in the output, warn:
"There are modified skill files (
git status). Run/commitinstead to create a git commit alongside closing this issue."
Let user confirm they want to close without committing.
Step 2: Find In-Progress Issue
gh issue list --label "status:in-progress" --state open --json number,title --limit 5
If multiple in-progress, ask which to close. If none, report "No issue currently in progress."
Step 3: Get Summary
If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the summary. Otherwise ask:
"What was accomplished? Brief summary for the closing comment."
Step 4: Add Completion Comment
gh issue comment $NUMBER --body "## Completed
$SUMMARY
---
*Closed via /close*"
Step 5: Update Labels and Close
gh issue edit $NUMBER --remove-label "status:in-progress" --add-label "status:done"
gh issue close $NUMBER --reason completed
Step 6: Confirm
## Closed: #$NUMBER — $TITLE
$SUMMARY
Next: `/backlog` to see remaining work, or `/claim` for the next issue.
Error Handling
| Error | Action |
|---|---|
| No in-progress work | Report and suggest /claim |
| Multiple in-progress | List them, ask which to close |
| Modified skill files | Recommend /commit before closing |
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.
- 2d ago First seen · 91 lines · 27 tokens per session scan A f2bf1d35e0e6
close is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (11 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 620 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.
