SkillsBench is a benchmark for measuring how effectively AI agents use modular skills—folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources—to complete specialized tasks. It helps researchers and developers evaluate both skill quality and agent behavior, including tasks that require combining multiple skills. The catalogue’s skills and instructions are evaluated as part of this workflow.
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: 2 findings, up to high
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 | $0.00028 | $0.02966 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01483 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00593 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00297 |
Grade A, and why
maven-dependency-management 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.

Maven Dependency Management
Master Maven dependency management including dependency declaration, scope management, version resolution, BOMs, and dependency tree optimization.
Overview
Maven's dependency management is a cornerstone of Java project build systems. It handles transitive dependencies, version conflicts, and provides mechanisms for controlling dependency resolution across multi-module projects.
Dependency Declaration
Basic Dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
</dependency>
Dependency with Scope
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
<version>5.10.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Optional Dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.findbugs</groupId>
<artifactId>jsr305</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
Dependency Scopes
Available Scopes
| Scope | Compile CP | Test CP | Runtime CP | Transitive |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| compile | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| provided | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| runtime | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| test | No | Yes | No | No |
| system | Yes | Yes | No | No |

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.

maven-dependency-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository benchflow-ai/skillsbench (1,757 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,966 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
