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 | $0.00079 | $0.02733 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.01093 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00547 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00273 |
Grade B, and why
upgrading-cluster-version scanned grade B with 2 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 2mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Upgrading Cluster Version
Guides CockroachDB version upgrades end-to-end. Before providing procedures, this skill gathers deployment context to deliver only the steps relevant to the operator's tier.
When to Use This Skill
- Planning or executing a version upgrade (Self-Hosted)
- Initiating a major version upgrade via Cloud Console (Advanced, BYOC)
- Configuring how patches are applied (Advanced, BYOC)
- Verifying upgrade completion (all tiers)
- Deciding whether to finalize or roll back (Self-Hosted)
For pre-upgrade health check: Use reviewing-cluster-health. For node drain during Self-Hosted upgrade: Use performing-cluster-maintenance. For maintenance window configuration: Use performing-cluster-maintenance.
Step 1: Gather Context
Required Context
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment tier? | Self-Hosted, Advanced, BYOC, Standard, Basic | Completely different upgrade procedures per tier |
| Current version? | e.g., v24.2.5 | Validates upgrade path and compatibility |
Additional Context (by tier)
If Self-Hosted:
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade type? | Major (e.g., 24.2→24.3), Patch (e.g., 24.2.5→24.2.8) | Major requires finalization; patches do not |
| Target version? | e.g., v24.3.1 | Confirms version is available and sequential |
| Deployment platform? | Bare metal, VMs, Kubernetes (Operator/Helm/manual) | Changes binary replacement and restart procedure |
| Process manager? | systemd, manual, container orchestrator | Changes stop/start commands |
| Node count? | Number | Affects upgrade sequencing |
If Advanced or BYOC:
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade type? | Major version, Patch | Major requires Console initiation; patches use maintenance windows |
| Cloud provider? (BYOC only) | AWS, GCP, Azure | For infrastructure-level monitoring during upgrade |
| Release channel? | Regular, Innovation | Innovation gives latest features, shorter support window |
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.

upgrading-cluster-version is a skill published in the GitHub repository cockroachlabs/cockroachdb-skills (23 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 2,733 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
