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 | $0.00094 | $0.01031 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00515 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00206 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00103 |
Grade D, and why
rclone 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 2d 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.

100% identical to rclone — 0 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.

rclone File Transfer Skill
Setup Check (Always Run First)
Before any rclone operation, verify installation and configuration:
# Check if rclone is installed
command -v rclone >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "rclone installed: $(rclone version | head -1)" || echo "NOT INSTALLED"
# List configured remotes
rclone listremotes 2>/dev/null || echo "NO REMOTES CONFIGURED"
If rclone is NOT installed
Guide the user to install:
# macOS
brew install rclone
# Linux (script install)
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
# Or via package manager
sudo apt install rclone # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install rclone # Fedora
If NO remotes are configured
Walk the user through interactive configuration:
rclone config
Common provider setup quick reference:
| Provider | Type | Key Settings |
|---|---|---|
| AWS S3 | s3 |
access_key_id, secret_access_key, region |
| Cloudflare R2 | s3 |
access_key_id, secret_access_key, endpoint (account_id.r2.cloudflarestorage.com) |
| Backblaze B2 | b2 |
account (keyID), key (applicationKey) |
| DigitalOcean Spaces | s3 |
access_key_id, secret_access_key, endpoint (region.digitaloceanspaces.com) |
| Google Drive | drive |

Example: Configure Cloudflare R2
rclone config create r2 s3 \
provider=Cloudflare \
access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
endpoint=ACCOUNT_ID.r2.cloudflarestorage.com \
acl=private
Example: Configure AWS S3
rclone config create aws s3 \
provider=AWS \
access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
region=us-east-1
Common Operations
Upload single file
rclone copy /path/to/file.mp4 remote:bucket/path/ --progress
Upload directory
rclone copy /path/to/folder remote:bucket/folder/ --progress
Sync directory (mirror, deletes removed files)
rclone sync /local/path remote:bucket/path/ --progress
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

rclone is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jerrylalala/compound-engineering (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,031 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 100% identical to rclone, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
