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

skill-suggester 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/skill_suggest.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Skill Suggester — подбор скиллов по задаче

Помощник, который по свободному описанию задачи/намерения пользователя подсказывает, какой скилл из библиотеки agent-skills использовать и как их комбинировать.

When to use

Загружай этот скилл, когда пользователь не знает, какой скилл применить:

  • «какой скилл использовать для …», «какой skill подойдёт», «что выбрать»
  • «подбери инструмент / команду / навык под задачу»
  • «рекомендуй скилл», «suggest skill», «skill suggestion»
  • задача сформулирована свободным текстом, но без явного указания скилла
  • нужно понять, какие скиллы можно объединить в цепочку для многоэтапной работы

Do NOT use

  • Когда задача уже явно называет скилл («сделай презентацию» → presentation-maker, «сгенерируй тестовые картинки» → test-graphics) — загружай его напрямую.
  • Когда пользователь просит выполнить работу, а не выбрать инструмент.
  • Для подбора инструментов вне библиотеки (это не каталог внешних утилит).

What this skill does

Вход: описание задачи свободным текстом (одна строка или фраза).

Выход:

  1. Список подходящих скиллов с релевантностью (score) и кратким «почему использовать».
  2. Не больше 3 комбо — последовательностей скиллов для многоэтапной задачи (например, code-review → commit-message-writer → github-repo-hygiene).

How to work

  1. Спросить задачу. Если пользователь не дал описание — уточни, что он хочет сделать (одним вопросом). Если описание есть — переходи к шагу 2.
  2. Прочитать базу. Открой index.json в корне репозитория и прочитай у каждого скилла поля name, triggers, description, category. При необходимости загляни в skills/<name>/SKILL.md для деталей.
  3. Сопоставить. Сравни запрос с триггерами и описаниями скиллов. Учти синонимы и перефразировки (RU/EN). Определи категорию задачи (repository / media / social / code / data) и отметь скиллы этой категории.
  4. Выдать рекомендацию. Отсортируй по релевантности, выведи топ-3–5: rank. skill-name (score) — почему использовать. Если задача многоэтапная — предложи до 3 комбо-цепочек.

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.

Changes

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.
