Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

install-skill 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Install a Claude Code skill from a GitHub skills repository URL.

Steps

  1. Route the input. Decide whether the user gave a GitHub tree URL or a repo/skill reference.

    • Completion criterion: the input is classified as exactly one of URL or reference.
  2. Extract repo and skill path. For a tree URL of the form https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/tree/<ref>/skills/<category>/<skill>, extract OWNER/REPO and the path under skills/ — for example, productivity/writing-great-skills. If the user gave OWNER/REPO <path> directly, use it as-is.

    • Completion criterion: both the repository and the skill path are identified.
  3. Install for Claude Code. Run:

    gh skill install <repo> <skill-path> --agent claude-code
    
    • Completion criterion: the command exits successfully.
  4. Report result. Show the installed skill path and any warnings.

    • Completion criterion: the user can see whether the install succeeded.

Failure modes

  • gh missing or unauthenticated: stop and ask the user to run gh auth login.
  • URL with no skills/ segment: stop and ask for a repo/skill reference.
  • gh skill install fails: print the full error and do not retry.

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.
