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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 37 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
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 | $0.00111 | $0.00941 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00376 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00188 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
gitlab-merge-request-create 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.

GitLab Merge Request Create
Domain-typed creation of a GitLab merge request against a project via the gitlab-api MCP
server. This skill opens the MR; reviewing/approving/merging it is gitlab-merge-request-review.
When to use
- Open an MR from a
source_branchinto atarget_branchon a project. - Set title/description, assignees, reviewers, labels, and merge options
(
remove_source_branch,squash) at creation time.
When NOT to use
- Reviewing, approving, auto-merging, or merging an existing MR →
gitlab-merge-request-review. - Creating the source branch or committing files first →
gitlab-repositories. - Filing an issue →
gitlab-issues.
Prerequisites & environment
Connect via the mcp-client skill against the gitlab-api MCP server.
| Variable | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
GITLAB_URL |
✅ | GitLab instance base URL |
GITLAB_TOKEN |
✅ | Access token with api scope (write) |
GITLAB_SSL_VERIFY |
optional | TLS verification toggle |
Full env/tag matrix: the mcp-client reference agent-tools/mcp-client/references/gitlab-api.md.
MCP_TOOL_MODE (condensed|verbose|both) selects the condensed surface (below).
Tools & actions
Prefer the condensed tool; it takes action + a params_json JSON string.

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.

gitlab-merge-request-create is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/gitlab-api (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 941 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
