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

detect-github-url 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Detect GitHub Skill Repository

The user has shared a GitHub URL. Recognize it and offer to browse its skills.

What to Do

  1. Identify the GitHub URL from the user's message.

  2. Respond naturally — acknowledge the link and explain you can browse available skills.

  3. Offer to browse:

    "I can check this repo for skills and show you what's available. Want me to take a look?"

  4. When the user confirms, run /skills-load <url>. This shows a numbered catalog — the user picks which skills to install as a plugin.

  5. If the URL doesn't look like a skills repo, still offer: "This might not contain Claude skills — want me to check anyway?"

Key Points

  • Be conversational, not robotic
  • The catalog-first approach means the user picks what they need — no bulk loading
  • Selected skills get packaged as a .plugin file and presented with a "Save plugin" button for one-click installation into the / menu
  • Skills are also injected into the conversation for immediate use

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.
