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

find-skills scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Skills

Discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem at https://skills.sh/.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
  • Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
  • Asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
  • Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
  • Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows

Search & Present

Do these two steps in a worker session — they can run in parallel:

1. Search the API

curl -s "https://skills.sh/api/search?q=QUERY"

Replace QUERY with a URL-encoded search term (e.g., react, email, pr+review). The response is JSON with skills sorted by installs (most popular first):

{
  "skills": [
    {
      "id": "vercel-labs/agent-skills/vercel-react-best-practices",
      "skillId": "vercel-react-best-practices",
      "name": "vercel-react-best-practices",
      "installs": 174847,
      "source": "vercel-labs/agent-skills"
    }
  ]
}

2. Fetch Security Audits

Required — do not skip. Use the web_fetch tool to get the audits page:

web_fetch url="https://skills.sh/audits"

If web_fetch fails or returns unexpected content, still present the search results but show "⚠️ Audit unavailable" for all security columns and include a link to https://skills.sh/audits so the user can check manually.

This returns markdown where each skill has a heading (### skill-name) followed by its source, then three security scores:

  • Gen Agent Trust Hub: Safe / Med Risk / Critical
  • Socket: Number of alerts (0 is best)
  • Snyk: Low Risk / Med Risk / High Risk / Critical

Scan the returned markdown to find scores for each skill from your search results. Match by both skill name and full source (owner/repo) to avoid misattribution — different repos can have skills with the same name.

3. Present Combined Results

Cross-reference the search results with the audit data and format as a numbered table. Show the top 6-8 results sorted by installs:

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
