Apache Magpie is a framework of agent-assisted workflows for maintaining Apache software projects, including issue triage, pull-request review, contributor mentoring, and security-report handling. Apache maintainers and developers use it to delegate repetitive project work to coding agents while retaining human review. Its catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugin, and settings that implement these workflows.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00052 | $0.05317 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.02127 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.01063 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00532 |
Grade A, and why
setup 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 today.
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.
This is a copy
86% identical to magpie-setup — 137 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
setup
The marketplace install is the default.
One marketplace add, then one plugin install per skill family, and nothing is written to the repo.
setup with no arguments proposes it; the other methods are fallbacks for where a marketplace cannot reach.
Walk-through: install.md → Step M0b, which reads any committed floor first.
Per-agent reference: docs/setup/marketplace.md.
First — the welcome guide
The setup family runs no shared pre-flight, so this skill checks for its first-run welcome guide itself, before any sub-action, silently.
<skill-dir> is the directory holding this SKILL.md, which carries the checker even before config has copied it into the personal layer:
What ships with it
57 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.
