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 5.1 | $0.00107 | $0.01457 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00728 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00291 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00146 |
Grade D, and why
render-cli scanned grade D with 3 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Render CLI
The Render CLI manages services, databases, and deployments from the terminal. Supports interactive use, non-interactive scripting, and CI/CD automation.
When to Use
- Deploying a service from the terminal or CI/CD
- Tailing logs in real time
- Opening psql to a Render Postgres database
- SSHing into a running service or launching an ephemeral shell
- Validating a
render.yamlBlueprint - Scripting Render operations in CI/CD pipelines
- Installing agent skills for AI coding tools
Installation
| Method | Command |
|---|---|
| Homebrew | brew update && brew install render |
| Linux/macOS | curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/render-oss/cli/refs/heads/main/bin/install.sh | sh |
| Direct download | GitHub releases |
| Build from source | git clone [email protected]:render-oss/cli.git && cd cli && go build -o render |
After install, run render with no arguments to confirm.
Authentication
Interactive (local dev)
render login
Opens the browser to generate a CLI token. Token is saved to ~/.render/cli.yaml. Tokens expire periodically—re-run render login when prompted.
Non-interactive (CI/CD)
export RENDER_API_KEY=rnd_...
API keys do not expire. Generate one from Account Settings > API Keys in the Dashboard. The API key takes precedence over CLI tokens when set.
Set the active workspace:

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.
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.

render-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository cass-2003/local-workflow-skill (12 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 1,457 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 91% identical to render-cli, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
