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 | $0.00019 | $0.00101 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00051 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00020 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00010 |
Grade A, and why
dead_code 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.

Licensed GPL-3.0
The repository is licensed GPL-3.0, which this catalogue does not treat as permission to reproduce the file. Read it at the source.
What ships with it
3 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.

dead_code is a skill published in the GitHub repository Anantys-oss/koan (46 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 101 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
issue-triage
Issue triage: audit open issues, categorize, detect duplicates, cross-ref PRs, risk assessment, post comments. Args: "all" for deep analysis of all, issue numbers to focus (e.g. "42 57"), "en"/"fr" for language, no arg = audit only in French.
github
Create issues, PRs, clone repos, and manage git workflows.
issue-triage
Triage GitHub issues through the canonical state machine — classify, label, deduplicate, request missing info, write agent briefs, and manage stale issues. Use on demand or on a triage cron.
github-issue-planning
Issue-backed plan persistence on GitHub via one managed issue comment with an idempotent marker. Prefers GitHub MCP when available and falls back to gh CLI when MCP is unavailable or misconfigured. Uses local plan persistence only when issue persistence is unavailable or not desired.
issue-answer
Answer a question directly — a sourced, neutral reply to an information/explanation/comparison request, from a GitHub issue or a Slack thread. Research repo docs and the web, output the answer, label question (GitHub only), leave open. Never write an agent brief, mark ready-for-agent, or change code.

Regelmäßiger Pflegedurchlauf für ein bereits veröffentlichtes GitHub-Repository (Stufe 1, günstig und oft wiederholbar): zuerst alle Distributionsflächen des Projekts ermitteln (npm, PyPI, Registries, Marketplaces, Stores, Website) und Änderungen später dorthin spiegeln, dann Topics setzen, Privacy-Gate, Dokumente auf…
