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 | $0.00150 | $0.04817 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00075 | $0.02409 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00963 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00482 |
Grade A, and why
shell_command 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 3d 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 — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Shell Command
Use this bundled skill when the task is best handled by a terminal command: listing files, searching text, reading files, checking Git state, running builds/tests/formatters, starting a local dev server, or executing a project script.
This skill is intentionally a small terminal orchestration layer. It follows the same practical pattern used by coding agents such as Codex: keep commands non-interactive, keep the working directory explicit, prefer fast search/read tools, stream output back to the model, and let policy decide whether sensitive commands are allowed, denied, or require user confirmation.
Global Search And Discovery Priority
- Treat
rgas the default first tool for all project exploration and narrowing work, including project structure, file discovery, code navigation, symbol lookup, call-site discovery, config lookup, workflow tracing, tests, routes, error messages, broad inventories, and "where is this implemented?" questions. - Use
rgto locate candidate files and line numbers before reading file contents. Do not read many whole files to discover where something lives. - Use
rg --filesfirst for project structure, file discovery, broad inventories, and file counts. - Use
rg -n "pattern" pathfirst for text/code search, workflow tracing, symbol references, config keys, routes, CLI commands, and error strings. - Use
rg -n -m 20 "pattern" pathwhen the initial result could be large. - Use
rg --files | rg "name-or-extension"for fast filename narrowing. - Use
git ls-filesfor "tracked files only" counts or inventories. - Use
Get-ChildItemonly for simple, shallow Windows directory listings, for exampleGet-ChildItem -NameorGet-ChildItem -Name -Filter *.rs. - Do not use
Get-ChildItem -Recurse,find . -type f,dir /s,ls -R, ordufor repository-wide discovery, search, inventories, or counts unless the command includes explicit exclusions andrgis unavailable. - Never treat dependency folders, VCS metadata, generated outputs, virtual environments, or caches as meaningful project files in broad counts.
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.

shell_command is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiguicai/MCP-Gateway (153 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 4,817 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
