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 | $0.00045 | $0.02368 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01184 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00474 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00237 |
Grade A, and why
skill-creator 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 3d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to skill-creator — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Skill Creator
This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.
About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
What Skills Provide
- Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks
Anatomy of a Skill
Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│ ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)
│ │ ├── name: (required)
│ │ └── description: (required)
│ └── Markdown instructions (required)
└── Bundled Resources (optional)
├── scripts/ - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)
├── references/ - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed
└── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)
SKILL.md (required)
Metadata Quality: The name and description in YAML frontmatter determine when Claude will use the skill. Be specific about what the skill does and when to use it. Use the third-person (e.g. "This skill should be used when..." instead of "Use this skill when...").
Bundled Resources (optional)
Scripts (scripts/)
Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.) for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.
- When to include: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed
- Example:
scripts/rotate_pdf.pyfor PDF rotation tasks - Benefits: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context
- Note: Scripts may still need to be read by Claude for patching or environment-specific adjustments
What ships with it
4 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.

skill-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository djbelieny/nova (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 2,368 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to skill-creator, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
businesses
Business lifecycle skill (DOMAIN-AGNOSTIC). Creates, lists, inspects, validates, and migrates businesses — autonomous multi-agent organizations — following the Business Protocol v2 (v1 businesses still load unchanged). Works for ANY domain: marketing, healthcare, engineering, legal, real-estate, gaming, foodtech…
nirvana-os-hermes
Hermes runtime ONLY — the Nirvana-OS bridge for Hermes Agent. Every other runtime loads the first-class nirvana-os skill instead and must ignore this one. Lists and inspects the user's Nirvana-OS businesses (empresas) and squads and routes production briefs to the harness orchestrator via nrv dispatch. Trigger when…
nirvana-os
List and inspect the user's Nirvana-OS businesses (empresas), squads and mind-clones, and route production briefs to the harness orchestrator. Trigger on 'quais são minhas empresas/squads', 'what businesses/squads do I have', 'liste minhas empresas', 'quais mind-clones eu tenho', 'o que o nirvana pode fazer', 'use o…
harness
Nirvana-OS orchestrator: routes a brief across the user's own library of businesses, squads and mind-clones, dispatches the best combination, and gates the result before delivery. Use when the user asks for a concrete artifact (book, video, report, design, code, campaign, any deliverable) in a machine where Nirvana-OS…
squads
Squad lifecycle skill. Use when asked to create, validate, inspect, list, or migrate squads — portable AI agent teams with workflows. Triggers on: create squad, list squads, inspect squad, validate squad, migrate squad, adapters. For EXECUTION of production briefs ('use the squad X', 'orquestre via squad', 'rode via…
dispatch
Use when a task file exists in .hyperflow/tasks/ and workers need dispatching. Fans out parallel workers under per-batch Reviewers, runs a final integration review, and commits per sub-task. Endpoint of the auto-chain — no auto-deploy. Trigger with /hyperflow:dispatch, "run the plan", "execute the task", "build it"…
