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 | $0.00020 | $0.09033 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.04516 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.01807 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00903 |
Grade A, and why
cat:learn-from-mistakes 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 9d 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.
The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
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.
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.

cat:learn-from-mistakes is a skill published in the GitHub repository cowwoc/cat (101 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 9,033 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
gsd-debug
Systematic debugging with persistent state across context resets.
gsd-forensics
Post-mortem investigation for failed GSD workflows — diagnoses what went wrong.
gsd-ns-review
Route to the appropriate quality / review skill based on the user's intent. gsd-code-review-fix was absorbed by gsd-code-review --fix in #2790.
gsd-audit-fix
Autonomous audit-to-fix pipeline — find issues, classify, fix, test, commit.
forensics
Post-mortem a failed GSD auto-mode run. Traces symptom to root cause via .gsd/ activity, journal, metrics, and lock artifacts, producing a filing-ready bug report with file:line refs and a fix suggestion. Use when asked to "forensics", "post-mortem", "why did auto-mode fail", "trace the stuck loop", "debug the crash"…
observability
Add agent-first observability — structured logs, health endpoints, failure-state persistence, explicit failure modes — so the next agent can diagnose problems unattended. Use when asked to "add logging", "add observability", "add metrics", "make this observable", or when building/refactoring a subsystem that runs…
