Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.01483 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00593 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00297 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00148 |
Grade A, and why
sbk-build-verify 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 today.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SBK Build and Verify Skill
Helps AI agents build and verify changes in the SBK repository with the correct JDK and workflow.
When to use this skill
Invoke this skill when:
- Making any change to SBK code (drivers, core modules, documentation)
- Need to verify that a change doesn't break the build
- Running the standard SBK verification sequence
- Troubleshooting build failures
Before changing any writer, reader, driver operation, callback, timestamp,
queue, recorder, measurement aggregation, or forwarding code, read
docs/HOT_PATHS.md. Its explicit human-approval
gate applies before adding per-operation, per-measurement, or per-batch work;
running this verification skill does not grant that approval.
What this skill provides
Context
- SBK's JDK 25 requirement and SBK_JAVA_HOME environment variable
- The correct build and verification sequence for SBK
- Common build failure modes and their fixes
- Pathing JAR staleness issue and resolution
- Gradle wrapper usage and project structure
Guidance
- Step-by-step verification workflow
- How to handle JDK version mismatches
- When to clean rebuild vs incremental build
- How to fix the pathing JAR staleness issue
- How to interpret build errors
Required capabilities
This skill does not grant permissions. The agent still follows AGENTS.md
and its host tool's approval model. Normal verification needs permission to
run ./gradlew and local SBK launchers and to write generated files under
module build/ directories.
Build and verify workflow
Standard verification sequence
For any change, run this sequence in order:
# 1. Module-level check (fastest for driver changes)
./gradlew :drivers:<name>:check
# 2. Full project check
./gradlew check
# 3. Build distribution
./gradlew installDist
# 4. Smoke test (for driver changes)
./build/install/sbk/bin/sbk -class <name> -writers 1 -size 1024 -seconds 30
When to clean rebuild
Run a clean rebuild when:
- Dependency versions changed (especially driver vendor SDKs)
- Seeing
NoClassDefFoundErrorfor classes that clearly exist inbuild/install/sbk/lib/ - Pathing JAR appears stale (manifest doesn't include new dependencies)
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.

sbk-build-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository kmgowda/SBK (36 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,483 tokens. 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 2026-11-07.
