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 | $0.00148 | $0.03069 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00074 | $0.01535 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00614 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00307 |
Grade A, and why
memory-onboarding 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 yesterday.
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 repository is licensed AGPL-3.0, which this catalogue does not treat as permission to reproduce the file. Read it at the source.
What ships with it
5 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.

memory-onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository basicmachines-co/basic-memory (3,804 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 148 tokens to every session and 3,069 once invoked, about $0.0007 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
refine
End-of-session reflection. Reviews friction encountered during the session and proposes updates to docs/ to capture lessons learned.
learn
Close a Hardproof run during LEARN by capturing safe provenance-linked lessons or recording an explicit reason to skip them.
write-copy
Extract all text content from a video — visible text via OCR and spoken narration via transcript. Returns clean organized copy ready to use verbatim. Use for marketing videos, app demos, or tutorials.
remember
Review the current conversation and capture valuable knowledge — best practices, coding conventions, architecture decisions, workflows, and user feedback — into persistent memory (AGENTS.md) or reusable skills. Use when the user says: (1) remember this, (2) save what we learned, (3) update memory, (4) capture…
mem0-tour
Browses all stored memories grouped by category with full content display. Use when reviewing all project memories, exploring stored knowledge, onboarding to a project, or getting an overview of captured decisions, conventions, and learnings.
mem0-remember
Stores a memory verbatim from user input with appropriate type classification and metadata. Use when the user says remember this, save this, store this, note that, or explicitly asks to record a decision, preference, convention, or learning.
