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 | $0.00149 | $0.02371 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00948 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00474 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00237 |
Grade A, and why
external-gitcode-ascend-python-refactoring 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 1mo 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.
The source is not reproduced here
No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What ships with it
6 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.

external-gitcode-ascend-python-refactoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository ascend-ai-coding/awesome-ascend-skills (174 stars, last pushed yesterday), with no licence file. It adds 149 tokens to every session and 2,371 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.

python-refactoring
A Python refactoring guide for finding code smells, improving readability, and applying suitable design patterns. Refactoring means changing code structure without changing what the code is meant to do.

A code-refactoring aid for changing several files, finding code smells, and applying established design patterns. Code smells are signs that code may be hard to maintain.

re0-merge
Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve, credit, and explain before closing. Use when reviewing a pull request, as any collaborator or maintainer, not only the…

After you create or change an artifact or skill, taste-test it with our own skills instead of trusting your in-session judgment — recursive self-improvement, made automatic. Use right after writing or editing anything, before calling it done, committing, or handing it off.
