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.

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 | $0.00045 | $0.10125 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.04050 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.02025 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.01013 |
Grade D, and why
gh-cli scanned grade D with 3 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

84% identical to gh-cli — 149 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.

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 2,059 lines · 45 tokens per session scan D 18a5969aad65
gh-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaybocc2/dotfiles (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 10,125 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files, makes network calls). It is 84% identical to gh-cli, differing in 149 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
batch
Research and plan a large-scale change, then execute it in parallel across 5–30 isolated worktree agents that each open a PR.
team-release
Orchestrate the release team — release-manager, qa-lead, devops-engineer, producer — to execute a release from candidate to deployment.
operating-github-cli
Default GitHub skill for the action agent. Use githubcli for any GitHub request — create/list/view/close issues and PRs, assign, labels, repos, releases, checks, github.com/owner/repo URLs, or gh api. Prefer over shellrun/!gh. Run these with githubcli in the current agent turn.
github
Drive GitHub via the official gh CLI — repos, issues, pull requests, releases, gists, Actions runs, and raw REST through gh api. Use when the user asks to inspect or manage GitHub.
testdino-releases
Use when the user wants to browse, inspect, create, or update releases/milestones in a TestDino project. Covers listreleases, getrelease, createrelease, and updaterelease. Accepts counter-style IDs like MS-12.
create-milestone
Create a GitHub milestone for an upcoming release. Suggests the next version based on the latest release, gathers all merged PRs and closed issues since that release, presents a draft with two tables (Issues and PRs) for user approval, then creates the milestone and assigns all approved items.
