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 | $0.00049 | $0.00898 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00449 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00180 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
virtualization-framework-workflow 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 yesterday.
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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Virtualization Framework Workflow
Purpose
Implement one explicit macOS or Linux Virtualization framework path without flattening their platform, boot, identity, or device differences.
When To Use
- Use for
VZVirtualMachineConfiguration, guest devices,VZVirtualMachine,VZVirtualMachineView, lifecycle, and diagnostics. - Use when building a custom VM host app or Swift package rather than operating an existing VM manager.
- Use for save/restore capability checks, not as a general snapshot-product workflow.
Single-Path Workflow
- Read current Xcode-local Virtualization documentation for every selected API and availability gate.
- Consume or create the virtualization shape record.
- Choose the guest family using macOS and Linux guest matrix:
- macOS: Mac platform identity, macOS boot loader, restore-image compatibility, auxiliary storage
- Linux/generic: generic platform, Linux or EFI boot, kernel/initrd/command line or EFI disk
- Separate the implementation into configuration construction, bundle/artifact persistence, VM lifecycle, and optional UI ownership. Make a headless console/service path or
VZVirtualMachineViewownership explicit rather than creating both accidentally. - Add only required devices after checking device and availability matrix.
- Require the virtualization entitlement, supported CPU/memory values, exact OS availability, and
validate()before start. - Model start, pause, resume, stop, and state transitions explicitly. Save/restore only in documented states with a configuration compatible with the saved state.
- Validate configuration, boot, console/UI, disk, network, shares, services, shutdown, and teardown at the narrowest relevant level.
- Preserve the failed configuration surface, VM state, host/guest versions, underlying error, and likely cause.
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.

virtualization-framework-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 898 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.

pipeline
Use when the user wants a feature idea taken end-to-end in one autonomous run — phrases like "run the whole pipeline", "take this feature from idea to finished branch", "brainstorm then build it autonomously", "do everything from idea to merged", "implement all phases without stopping". Triggers when they want…
craft
Use when a product idea is still vague and needs to become a clear definition of what to build — "let's craft an app like X", "help me define what I actually want", "clarify this idea before we plan it". Also use before planning or implementation when requirements, UX, domain behaviour, or technical preferences have…
scenario-planning
Plans under genuine uncertainty — building scenarios, identifying which assumptions are load-bearing, setting early-warning indicators, and stress-testing a plan against futures rather than forecasting one. Use this when a decision depends on something unknowable, when a plan assumes conditions that may not hold…
ai-ml-governance
Governs models and AI systems in production — intended use, evaluation, monitoring, human oversight, documentation, and the decision to deploy or retire. Use this before deploying a model or AI feature, when defining evaluation criteria, when a model's behavior has drifted, when assessing AI risk or regulatory…
ai-research-analyst
Produces executive-level research — market sizing, competitor mapping, trend analysis, and strategic intelligence — grounded in cited sources with the confidence in each claim made explicit. Use this to analyze a market or industry, map competitors, evaluate a market-entry or build-versus-buy decision, produce a…
implement-factory
Factory loop orchestrator for multi-feature or multi-component implementation manifests. Use for high-complexity work with parallel-eligible workstreams and holdout-scenario evaluation.
