Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.04760 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.01904 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00952 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00476 |
Grade A, and why
skill-generator 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 465 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill Generator
Meta-skill for creating new Claude Code skills with configurable execution modes.

Execution Modes
Mode 1: Sequential (Fixed Order)
Traditional linear execution model, phases execute in numeric prefix order.
Phase 01 -> Phase 02 -> Phase 03 -> ... -> Phase N
Use Cases:
- Pipeline tasks (collect -> analyze -> generate)
- Strong dependencies between phases
- Fixed output structure
Examples: software-manual, copyright-docs
Mode 2: Autonomous (Stateless Auto-Select)
Intelligent routing model, dynamically selects execution path based on context.
What ships with it

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 465 lines · 61 tokens per session scan A e111b0c61710
skill-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow (2,124 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 4,760 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
spawn-agent
Spawn worker agents (Gemini CLI or Codex CLI) to keep main context clean. Use for implementation, codebase research, context gathering, or any scoped work that would pollute the orchestrator's context.
newsroom-style
Apply AP Style and common newsroom conventions when writing or editing news articles, briefs, and headlines. Use when drafting publishable copy, editing contributor submissions, or converting informal notes into news-ready language.
beat-brief
Draft a short daily beat briefing from a folder of incoming source documents. Use when the reporter wants a five-bullet summary of the day's material with attribution flags and follow-up actions.
first-skill
Minimal skill template that students copy and customize to create their first Claude Code skill. Use this as the starting point when building a new custom skill for a specific beat or workflow.
skill-dispatcher
Universal MCP skill dispatcher for AI coding agents. Loads Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Gemini-style, command, plain markdown, and GitHub-hosted skills on demand. Includes agent routing, active skill lifecycle tracking, external repo import, nested skill discovery, origin filtering, and hardened parsing for secure…
audit
Audit local Claude Code transcript usage and summarize likely token hotspots. Use when the user asks where Claude Code tokens are going or wants evidence before optimizing.
