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: 5 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00081 | $0.05888 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.02355 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.01178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00589 |
Grade A, and why
run-automation-suite 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 21d 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.

Run Automation Suite
Overview
Execute Appium-based mobile test automation suites on Kobiton's device cloud. Given a local Appium test script, this skill identifies the target app, selects an available device, parses and reconciles capabilities, runs the script in the background, and surfaces the resulting session URL plus artifacts (video, logs, screenshots, reports).
Use this skill when the user asks to run mobile tests, validate an APK or IPA across real devices, or trigger a Kobiton-hosted automation run from a local script directory.
Prerequisites
Runs on any OS, but needs a persistent local filesystem — its whole job is running the user's local Appium script, plus that script's own language runtime. Where the host can't provide those, route to create-test-run to execute a test case already saved in Kobiton instead. See the Skill compatibility matrix in CLAUDE.md.
Before invoking this skill, ensure:
- Kobiton MCP connection - the Kobiton MCP server is reachable (default
api.kobiton.com/mcp; check.mcp.jsonfor the configured endpoint). - Local Appium test script - a runnable Appium WebDriver script (
.js,.ts,.py,.java,.kt,.cs,.rb) referencing desired capabilities for the target platform. - Runtime installed locally - Node.js + npm/npx, Python + pip, Java + mvn/gradle, .NET SDK, or Ruby + bundle, whichever your test script uses.
- App build (or store reference) - either a local
.apk/.ipa/.zipbuild artifact for upload, or akobiton-store:vXXXXXreference for an existing upload. - Kobiton account - credentials with device access for the target platform (Android / iOS) and remaining session quota.
Authentication
This skill calls tools served by the Kobiton MCP server at api.kobiton.com/mcp. Two authentication configurations ship with the plugin; one of them must be active before any MCP tool will respond:
| Config file | Auth mechanism | When to use |
|---|---|---|
.mcp.json (default) |
OAuth 2.1 browser flow | Interactive AI-CLI session for an end user |
.mcp.apikey-example.json |
Basic auth header — Authorization: Basic base64(username:apikey) from the KOBITON_AUTH env var |
CI / headless / scripted invocations; copy this file over .mcp.json |

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.

run-automation-suite is a skill published in the GitHub repository kobiton/automate (14 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 5,888 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.
