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 | $0.00069 | $0.00828 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00331 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00166 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00083 |
Grade A, and why
mgrep-code-search 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 1mo 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.

mgrep Code Search
Overview
mgrep is a semantic search tool that enables natural language queries across code, text, PDFs, and images. It is particularly effective for exploring larger or complex codebases where traditional pattern matching falls short.
When to Use This Skill
Use mgrep when:
- The codebase contains more than 30 non-gitignored files
- There are nested directory structures
- Searching for concepts, features, or intent rather than exact strings
- Exploring an unfamiliar codebase
- Need to understand "where" or "how" something is implemented
Use traditional grep/ripgrep when:
- Searching for exact patterns or symbols
- Regex-based refactoring
- Tracing specific function or variable names
Quick Start
Indexing
Before searching, start the watcher to index the repository:
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep watch
The watch command indexes the repository and maintains synchronisation with file changes. It respects .gitignore and .mgrepignore patterns.
Searching
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep "your natural language query" [path]
Search Commands
Basic Search
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep "where is authentication configured?"
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep "how do we handle errors in API calls?" src/
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep "database connection setup" src/lib
Search Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-m <count> |
Maximum results (default: 10) |
-c, --content |
Display full result content |
-a, --answer |
Generate AI-powered synthesis of results |
-s, --sync |
Update index before searching |
--no-rerank |
Disable relevance optimisation |
Examples with Options
# Get more results
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep -m 25 "user authentication flow"
# Show full content of matches
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep -c "error handling patterns"
# Get an AI-synthesised answer
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep -a "how does the caching layer work?"
# Sync index before searching
bunx @mixedbread/mgrep -s "payment processing" src/services
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.

mgrep-code-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository intellectronica/agent-skills (297 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 828 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

A guide for performing email and mailbox tasks through the QwenPaw mailbox system. It covers supported personal email providers, credentials, configuration, and the required mailbox workflow.
channel_message
Use this skill to proactively send a one-way message to a user/session/channel, usually only when the user explicitly asks to send to a channel/session or when proactive notification is needed. First query sessions with qwenpaw chats list, then push with qwenpaw channels send.
