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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00161 | $0.03781 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00081 | $0.01891 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00756 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00378 |
Grade A, and why
cargo-billing 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 — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cargo CLI — Billing
Billing and credit management: pulling usage metrics, checking subscription status, viewing invoices, and managing credits.
See
references/response-shapes.mdfor full JSON response structures. Seereferences/troubleshooting.mdfor common errors and how to fix them. Seereferences/examples/usage-metrics.mdfor usage metric and subscription examples.
Bootstrap
Already signed in (cargo-ai whoami returns a workspace)? Skip to the next section.
npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli # no global install? prefix every command with `npx @cargo-ai/cli`
cargo-ai login --email [email protected] # emailed code, no browser; creates the account on first use
# alternatives: --oauth (browser) · --token <api-token> (CI)
cargo-ai whoami # confirm the active workspace before any write
Every command prints JSON to stdout; failures exit non-zero with {"errorMessage": "..."}. Anything that creates a run or a batch is async — pass --wait-until-finished or poll the matching get. Admin-only: every command in this skill requires a token with admin access on the workspace. Non-admin tokens return {"errorMessage":"forbidden"}. When the full skill bundle is installed, ../cargo/references/prerequisites.md adds the CLI version pin, token scopes, and the admin-only surface.

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.

cargo-billing is a skill published in the GitHub repository getcargohq/cargo-skills (17 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 161 tokens to every session and 3,781 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.

ai-pricing
When the user wants to price an AI product, choose a charge metric, design pricing tiers, or optimize margins. Also use when the user mentions 'AI pricing,' 'usage-based pricing,' 'consumption pricing,' 'outcome pricing,' 'BYOK,' 'bring your own key,' 'per-seat pricing,' 'pricing tiers,' 'AI margins,' 'cost per…

Revenue forecasting methodology, forecast categories, pipeline analysis, and predictability for B2B revenue teams. Use when the user mentions forecasting, revenue forecast, sales forecast, forecast accuracy, forecast categories, commit, best case, upside, pipeline coverage, weighted pipeline, forecast cadence…
adverse-selection-prior
Produces a Bayesian prior probability that an offered transaction is +EV for the recipient, given that the counterparty chose to propose it. Applies Akerlof market-for-lemons logic -- if they offered it, they believe it is +EV for them, so the prior that it is +EV for us is materially below 50%. Reusable across trade…
auction-first-price-shading
Computes the optimal shaded bid for a first-price sealed-bid auction given a true private value, an estimate of the number of competing bidders N, and a value-distribution assumption. Implements the (N-1)/N equilibrium shading rule for uniform private values, adjusts for log-normal or empirical value distributions…
auction-winners-curse-haircut
Applies a Bayesian haircut to a bid valuation for common-value auctions where winning is itself evidence the bidder over-estimated. Takes a raw valuation, a value-type classification (commonvalue / privatevalue / mixed), the number of informed bidders N, and a signal-dispersion estimate, and returns an adjusted…
capital-structure-optimizer
Analyzes a company's debt-equity mix and determines the optimal capital structure that minimizes WACC. Computes WACC at each debt ratio from 0% to 90%, identifies the minimum, and recommends whether to add or reduce debt with specific debt type matching (maturity, currency, fixed vs floating). Use when analyzing…
