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 | $0.00084 | $0.08005 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.03202 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.01601 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00800 |
Grade A, and why
kiln-prerelease-check 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 26d 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
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
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.

kiln-prerelease-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kiln-AI/Kiln (5,243 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 8,005 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.

nixtla-release-validation
Multi-phase release validation workflow for nixtla. Analyzes git changes, predicts test impact, assesses risk, runs pytest verification, provides go/no-go recommendation. Trigger: "validate release", "run release validation", "check release readiness".
codew-release-qa-sweep
Use before claiming Codewhale release work is done: run the full gate sweep and list the manual QA targets.
validate-release-green
Run or inspect the local Release-Green observer for an exact base or combined PR candidate, separating hard failures, advisory drift and incomplete evidence. Use for maintainer preflight; full CI acceptance remains a separate requirement.
verify-and-ship
Choose proportionate validation, fix failures, update the changelog, commit, push, and create/update the pull request or merge request.
ship
Pre-release gate. Run the full gate, responsive + render checks, then produce the release checklist (README badge/current/changelog). Use before tagging a release.
ship-workflow
Resumable shipping lifecycle: reconciles current Git and GitHub facts from any entry (dirty default or feature branch, local commits, published branch, open PR, existing manual or native stack, merged work), commits dirty work as lossless logical commits, publishes or reuses the PR, requires current CI and review…
