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 | $0.00100 | $0.03419 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00050 | $0.01709 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00684 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00342 |
Grade B, and why
coolify scanned grade B with 3 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 4d 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 rootlowPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
| "I'll install with my sudo user, root feels risky" | The installer wires Docker + system services and the docs say non-root is not fully supported. SSH in as root for install. | Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Coolify — own-the-box PaaS on your VPS
Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable control plane that turns a plain Linux VPS into a Vercel/Heroku replacement: Git-to-deploy, managed databases, automatic SSL, scheduled backups — for a flat VPS bill instead of per-request metering. This skill is operational. It produces the exact install one-liner, the port matrix, env wiring, a lint-clean compose artifact, and a backup-to-S3 cron with a tested restore. Coolify 4.x (stable in 2026); v4.1 added Railpack, structured audit logging, and a read-only MCP server.
Mental model — read this first
- Coolify is the control plane, not the box. It runs on a VPS you provisioned elsewhere. Hardware sizing, the cloud firewall, SSH hardening, OS patching → that is the VPS layer (hetzner / digitalocean), not this skill. Coolify orchestrates what runs on the box.
- You own the data and the uptime now. No vendor takes nightly snapshots for you. So backups are non-optional and a backup you have never restored is not a backup (see the backup section).
- Everything underneath is Docker. Coolify generates compose/Dockerfile runs and a Traefik proxy. So
every Docker rule still applies — named volumes, healthchecks, pinned images, env-injected secrets.
For image-authoring depth (multi-stage, layer caching) go to the
dockerskill; here we wire it. - First account to register owns the instance — forever. There is no "admin invite" recovery if a stranger registers first. Claim it within seconds of install (see step 4).
Decision — where should this app actually run?
| Option | Who owns the box | Cost shape | Ops burden | Choose when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coolify self-hosted (this skill) | You (your VPS) | Flat VPS/month | You patch + back up | Predictable bill, data sovereignty, many apps on one box |
| Coolify Cloud | You bring the server; they host the control plane | VPS + small SaaS fee | They run the control plane | Want Coolify UX without babysitting the dashboard's own uptime |
| Managed PaaS (railway / render / fly-io / vercel / netlify) | The provider | Per-usage, scales up fast | Near-zero | Spiky scale-to-zero, no box to own — the inverse of Coolify |
What ships with it
6 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.
- 4d ago First seen · 195 lines · 100 tokens per session scan B 8917a3d883e6
coolify is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (60 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 3,419 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
