Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

hello-world 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.

Keep the tone friendly, encouraging, and educational.

Examples

Example 1: Basic Activation

User Request: "Use the hello-world skill"

Expected Response: "Hello! I'm using the Hello World skill, which is a simple demonstration of how Claude Code skills work.

Skills are modular capabilities that extend what I can do. Each skill is just a folder with a SKILL.md file that contains instructions for me to follow. This particular skill doesn't need any tools, so it's a great starting point for learning!

The GLINCKER Marketplace has many more skills you can explore:

  • Development tools
  • Productivity enhancers
  • Creative assistants
  • And much more!

Would you like to explore other skills, or shall I help you create your own?"

Tool Requirements

This skill requires no tools - it's purely instructional, making it the perfect beginner example.

Limitations

This is an educational skill with no practical functionality:

  • It doesn't modify files or execute commands
  • It's designed purely for demonstration purposes
  • For real work, explore the other skills in the marketplace

Changes

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.
