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 | $0.00000 | $0.00166 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00066 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00033 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00017 |
Grade A, and why
vendor-lock-escape-kit 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 2mo 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
Vendor Lock Escape Kit
Tools and strategies to escape vendor lock-in from equipment and software providers.
Purpose
Vendor lock-in is the farmer's trap: proprietary file formats, encrypted ECUs, cloud-only features, subscription dependencies. Once locked in, equipment and software become expensive burdens with no escape. This skill provides practical tools to identify lock-in mechanisms, implement alternatives, and maintain equipment and data sovereignty.

What ships with it
9 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.

vendor-lock-escape-kit is a skill published in the GitHub repository farmfriend-labs/agent-skills-farming (3 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 166 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
