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 | $0.00022 | $0.01044 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00418 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00209 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
dot-skills 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Maintain Dot Skills
Maintain first-party skills and their chezmoi links. skillify owns authoring; its package rules define package shape, resources, and standalone portability.
Workflow
- Choose the owner: inspect
git diffandgit diff --cached, read neighboring descriptions, and apply skillify's admission rule. Reusable skills belong inskills/; repository procedures belong in.agents/skills/. - Register additions: each scope (AGENTS.md plus skill names, descriptions, and paths) must stay below 5,000 estimated tokens per context budgets;
mise run check:skillsenforces both scopes from source. Check headroom first withdot agent context --source . --project .and reduce overhead without losing distinctive triggers when full. Each global skill needsdot_agents/skills/symlink_<name>.tmplcontaining{{ .chezmoi.sourceDir }}/skills/<name>. - Connect resources: use
metadata.kindas the single connector, task, or collection tag. Keep a single procedure in the root; preserve substantial optional modes as guides atreferences/<name>.mdorreferences/<name>/GUIDE.md, with their owned resources. Runmise run format:skillsto generate parent routing indexes. Never nestSKILL.md. Update projectAGENTS.mdwhen workflow ownership changes; setup, usage, and the short task reference belong inREADME.md. - Validate: run
mise run check:skillsand formatting checks for edited files. For installation changes, also targetuv run --frozen --project dot pytest -q dot/tests/test_skill_install_links.py. Follow projectAGENTS.mdfor broader qualification; prose-only changes do not require the full Python suite or build. Use git-worktree when formatters could alter unrelated work.dot agent context --checkwithout--sourcealso measures independently installed packages in the shared roots. Reviewdot agent context --source . --project . --detailswhen descriptions or guides change; its estimates are diagnostic. - Exercise changed guidance: walk a realistic request through the skill using safe commands and disposable fixtures for writes. For output changes, compare success and failure cases, exit codes, diagnostics, and completeness markers. When host integration changes, check the affected host separately; catalog checks do not prove discovery or selection.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

dot-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dot (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,044 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-10.
Other skills, from other repositories
dotfiles-bootstrap
Bootstrap a workstation with the dotfiles framework. Takes a GitHub user / owner+repo / explicit clone URL and runs dot config init (which shells out to chezmoi) with the right safety prompts. Honors the active agent profile (ask / plan / apply / audit) so it defaults to dry-run in safer modes and full apply in apply.
vibe
Delegate a coding task to a cheap AI model (Mistral Vibe by default, but any provider Vibe knows about — DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, etc.) and supervise the result via git diff. Claude orchestrates, the cheap model codes. Claude consumes 500-1500 tokens per delegation regardless of how many file reads the delegate does…
go-stack
Build Go projects, libraries, CLIs, TUIs, web apps, or ADK agents with the standard package layout and pinned tooling.
python-stack
Build typed Python projects with uv, Ruff, ty, pytest, Litestar, and Typer. Use for packages, CLIs, web apps, tests, typing, or API verification.
hugo
Canonical Hugo static-site stack with the Hextra docs theme — Hugo Modules, mise tasks, dprint, lefthook, and GitHub Pages deploy. Use for documentation sites, project docs, and static websites.
k8s-local
Create and manage local Kubernetes clusters (k3d or kind) and deploy to them with kubectl, helm, helmfile, and skaffold. Use for local k8s cluster setup, dev loops, and debugging.
