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

only-skill-you-need 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 13d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

only-skill-you-need

Announce: Using only-skill-you-need to [bootstrap | route this task].

This is the first skill. Do not skip it to "just start coding." Read the winners it names, then do the user's actual work.

Scripts live next to this file. Run them from the skill root (SKILL.md's directory).

python scripts/cli.py detect --root <project>
python scripts/cli.py status --root <project>
python scripts/cli.py bootstrap --root <project> --offline
python scripts/cli.py route --root <project> --offline "<user task>"
python scripts/cli.py --self-check

--offline uses the bundled seed list. Omit it to live-search via npx skills find. Never pass --apply until the user says yes.

Procedure

  1. Run detect, then status.
  2. If project_ledger_empty is true → bootstrap path. Print the proposed pack. Stop and ask before any install. After yes, run bootstrap with --apply, then npx skills add using the printed install_commands (or run those commands). Refresh STATUS.md.
  3. Else run route "<user task>".
  4. Read each winner's SKILL.md (installed copy under ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, or ~/.agents/skills) before doing the user's work.
  5. Empty relevant slot → propose the live best from the route/bootstrap output. Wait. Install. Record via --apply or occupy through bootstrap.
  6. Occupied slot + upgrade listed → mention the better skill. Do not replace it unless the user asks to switch.
  7. Do the actual task following those skills.
  8. Run status again so .agents/only-skill-you-need/STATUS.md is current.

Sticky rules

  • Empty slot → propose, install only after yes.
  • Occupied slot → keep the installed skill.
  • Same use-case → refuse a second install; it lands in rejected[].
  • Unknown source with under 100 installs → never propose.
  • Project ledger wins over global per slot.

Do not invent a parallel registry. Installs go through npx skills add <owner/repo> -s <skill> -g -y plus -a only for agents detect found.

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.
