Skill From Masters is an AI skill that helps create new agent skills using methods, examples, and principles associated with recognized experts in fields such as writing, product development, sales, and negotiation. It is for people designing skills who want to research established approaches, identify good and bad examples, compare expert guidance, and check the resulting skill for completeness. The catalogue entry is the project's own skill workflow.
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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00013 | $0.01357 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00678 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00271 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
search-skill 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 8d 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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Search Skill
Search and recommend Claude Code Skills from trusted marketplaces based on user requirements.
When to Use
When users describe a need and want to find an existing Skill to solve it.
Examples:
- "Is there a skill that can auto-generate changelogs?"
- "Find me a skill for frontend design"
- "I need a skill that can automate browser actions"

Search Process
Step 1: Parse User Intent
Extract from user description:
- Core functionality keywords (e.g., changelog, browser, frontend)
- Use case (e.g., development, testing, design)
- Special requirements (e.g., language support, specific framework)
Step 2: Multi-Source Search
IMPORTANT: Only search these 6 sources. Do NOT search the entire internet.
Search by priority:
1. Search Tier 1 (official/high trust) first
2. If fewer than 5 results, continue to Tier 2
3. If still insufficient, search Tier 2.5 (ClawHub - large volume, check quality)
4. If still insufficient, search Tier 3 with strict filtering
5. If still nothing found, tell user honestly - do NOT expand to other sources
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.

search-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository GBSOSS/skill-from-masters (1,583 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 1,357 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
