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 | $0.00031 | $0.01317 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00527 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
safe-refactor 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.
The source is not reproduced here
No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What ships with it
3 files 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.

safe-refactor is a skill published in the GitHub repository JPeetz/agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), with no licence file. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,317 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-14.

Improve production code quality while preserving all existing test behavior. Commonly used for the Refactor phase of TDD red-green-refactor, but applicable to any codebase with tests. Use when production code works but needs cleanup — reducing duplication, improving naming, simplifying complexity, aligning with…
ring:detecting-goroutine-leaks
Detecting goroutine leaks in Go: greps for goroutine patterns, audits goleak coverage (VerifyTestMain/VerifyNone), runs goleak, and dispatches ring:backend-go to fix leaks and add regression tests. Use after implementation or during review when code spawns goroutines or a leak is suspected. Runs before…

Enforcing the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR loop: write one failing test and watch it fail, write minimal code to pass, then refactor green. Use when starting implementation of a new feature or bugfix, or writing any new production code. Requires pasted failure output as proof of RED; code written before its test must be…
