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 | $0.00033 | $0.00579 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00290 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00116 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
gentle-ai-skill-improver 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 5d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Activation Contract
Use this skill when auditing, refactoring, normalizing, or improving existing SKILL.md files. Use gentle-ai-skill-creator when creating a brand-new skill from a reusable pattern.
Hard Rules
- Read
docs/skill-style-guide.mdfirst and treat it as the normative style contract. - Treat
SKILL.mdas the source of truth; preserve author intent, critical rules, activation semantics, and output requirements. - Use
.atl/skill-registry.mdas an index of skill names, triggers, scopes, and exact paths when available. - Default to audit-only. Modify files only when the user explicitly asks to apply improvements.
- Never delete meaningful content silently; move long explanation, examples, templates, or schemas into local
references/orassets/. - Do not invent triggers, policies, or domain rules. Mark ambiguous cases for human review.
Decision Gates
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Missing or invalid frontmatter | Fix name, quoted one-line description, license, and metadata |
| Skill reads like tutorial docs | Convert to runtime instructions and move background to references/ |
| Body exceeds budget | Preserve rules, move examples/background to supporting files |
| Branching logic hidden in prose | Convert to a compact decision table |
| Rules conflict or intent is unclear | Report the issue; do not rewrite that rule automatically |
Execution Steps
- Read
docs/skill-style-guide.md. - Read
.atl/skill-registry.md; use listed paths to select skills. If missing, scan known skill directories for*/SKILL.md. - For each selected skill, audit metadata, trigger clarity, section order, body budget, actionability, decision gates, output contract, and local references.
- Return an audit report grouped by skill with severity and exact proposed changes.
- In apply mode, edit only safe issues, preserve content, create supporting files when needed, then refresh or request
/skill-registry:refresh.
Output Contract
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.
- 5d ago First seen · 54 lines · 33 tokens per session scan A 83d41f4e3f53
gentle-ai-skill-improver is a skill published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-pi (415 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 579 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 2026-08-30.
