using-awesome-ai-skills is a skill for Claude Code from ishandutta2007/Awesome-Agent-Skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,174 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of using-agent-skills, MIT.

A guide for discovering which development workflow skill applies to a task. It organizes skills by stages such as shaping an idea, defining requirements, planning, coding, testing, and reviewing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a session or deciding which skill to apply next. It directs work toward workflows for specifications, task breakdown, implementation, interface design, documentation, testing, and browser testing.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to know the names or order of specialized workflows in advance. It helps match the current development problem with the relevant process.

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

using-awesome-ai-skills 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 12d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to using-agent-skills — 24 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
