Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00175 | $0.02171 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00088 | $0.01086 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00434 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00217 |
Grade A, and why
epic-close 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 12d 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.
The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
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.

epic-close is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaia-research/gaia-skill-tree (19 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It adds 175 tokens to every session and 2,171 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-08-30.

Interact with GitHub using the gh CLI. Use for issues, PRs, CI runs, releases, and advanced API queries.
goal-issues-and-release
Clear the open issue backlog and then cut a release, in one autonomous run: use the batch-all-issues skill to resolve every open issue, then the goal-release skill to draft, merge, and see the release through publication. Never asks the user anything — every decision is made autonomously, and blockers are reported at…
