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

graph-skills-retriever 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Use this skill when the task seems to require specialized domain knowledge, scripts, or references that are not already obvious from the current context.

The full skill library is stored outside the auto-loaded harness context at:

/opt/graphskills/library

Do not manually scan that whole directory first. Retrieve a focused bundle.

Retrieve Relevant Skills

Run:

graphskills-query "short description of the task or current subproblem"

Useful flags:

graphskills-query "debug spring boot jakarta migration build errors" --top-n 5 --seed-top-k 4 --max-context-chars 9000
graphskills-query "extract text from receipts into xlsx" --json

How To Use The Results

  1. Start with a short task-level query.
  2. Read the returned skill bundle.
  3. Follow the retrieved skill instructions and inspect any referenced files in /opt/graphskills/library/<skill-name>/.
  4. Re-query with a narrower subproblem if needed.

Guidance

  • Prefer 1-2 retrieval calls over manually searching the entire library.
  • The returned Source: path points to the canonical SKILL.md in /opt/graphskills/library.
  • If you need scripts or references from a retrieved skill, inspect that skill directory directly.
  • Reuse the graph retriever whenever the task shifts to a new subproblem.

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.
