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.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00078 | $0.03226 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01613 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00645 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00323 |
Grade A, and why
arize-annotation 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 5d 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.

Arize Annotation Skill
SPACE—--spaceflags accept a space name (e.g.,my-workspace) or a base64 space ID (e.g.,U3BhY2U6...). Find yours withax spaces list.
This skill covers annotation configs (the label schema) and annotation queues (human review workflows), as well as programmatically annotating project spans via the Python SDK.
Direction: Human labeling in Arize attaches values defined by configs to spans, dataset examples, experiment-related records, and queue items in the product UI. This skill covers: ax annotation-configs, ax annotation-queues, and bulk span updates with ArizeClient.spans.update_annotations.
Prerequisites
Proceed directly with the task — run the ax command you need. Do NOT check versions, env vars, or profiles upfront.
If an ax command fails, troubleshoot based on the error:
command not foundor version error → see references/ax-setup.md401 Unauthorized/ missing API key → runax profiles showto inspect the current profile. If the profile is missing or the API key is wrong, follow references/ax-profiles.md to create/update it. If the user doesn't have their key, direct them to https://app.arize.com/admin > API Keys- Space unknown → run
ax spaces listto pick by name, or ask the user - Security: Never read
.envfiles or search the filesystem for credentials. Useax profilesfor Arize credentials andax ai-integrationsfor LLM provider keys. Never ask the user to paste secrets into chat. For missing credentials, see references/ax-profiles.md.
Concepts
What is an Annotation Config?
An annotation config defines the schema for a single type of human feedback label. Before anyone can annotate a span, dataset record, experiment output, or queue item, a config must exist for that label in the space.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Descriptive identifier (e.g. Correctness, Helpfulness). Must be unique within the space. |
| Type | CATEGORICAL (pick from a list), CONTINUOUS (numeric range), or FREEFORM (free text). |
| Values | For categorical: array of {"label": str, "score": number} pairs. |
| Min/Max Score | For continuous: numeric bounds. |
| Optimization Direction | Whether higher scores are better (MINIMIZE) or worse (MAXIMIZE). Used to render trends in the UI. |
What ships with it
2 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.

arize-annotation is a skill published in the GitHub repository Arize-ai/arize-skills (48 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 3,226 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
