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 | $0.00049 | $0.01033 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00517 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00207 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
creating-agent-skills-skill 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 6d 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.

Creating Agent Skills
Use when creating Agent Skills packages (SKILL.md format) for Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, or Amp - provides the agentskills.io specification with frontmatter constraints, directory structure, and validation rules
Overview
Agent Skills is an open standard for portable AI agent capabilities. One SKILL.md file works across Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, and Amp.
Official Spec: https://agentskills.io/specification

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.

creating-agent-skills-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentWorkforce/relay (812 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,033 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
