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 | $0.00022 | $0.00078 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00039 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00016 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00008 |
Grade A, and why
basic 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 yesterday.
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.
What it actually says
Basic Skill
Use references/guide.md for the expected behavior.
Use assets/template.json as fixture data when a test needs a bundled resource.
Run scripts/helper.sh only when an embedding test explicitly asks for script behavior.
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.

basic is a skill published in the GitHub repository lathe-cli/kitup (6 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 78 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
remotion-bits
Animation components and utilities for Remotion video projects. Use when building Remotion compositions with text animations, gradient transitions, particle effects, 3D scenes, or staggered motion effects. Provides example bits (complete compositions) and reusable components that can be installed via jsrepo.
remotion-animation
Generates animation configurations for Remotion including spring configs, interpolations, easing functions, and timing logic. Focuses ONLY on animation parameters, NOT component implementation. Use when defining animation behavior or when asked to "configure animations", "setup spring configs", "define easing curves".
modern-short-video
Create modern product launch/pitch videos using Remotion. Use when creating app promo videos, SaaS launch videos, product demos, or startup pitch videos.
video-production
Produce programmable videos with Remotion using scene planning, asset orchestration, and validation gates for automated, brand-consistent video content.
better-fullstack
Scaffold, plan, or extend Better Fullstack projects with the generator, CLI, or MCP server. Use when a user asks to create, generate, or scaffold a fullstack starter; choose a Better Fullstack stack; add Better Fullstack capabilities; compare agent scaffolding paths; or avoid hand-authoring boilerplate project files.
create-remotion-geist
Create Remotion videos using the Geist design system aesthetic. Use when asked to create videos, animations, or motion graphics that should follow Vercel's visual style - dark theme, spring animations, Geist typography, and the Geist color palette.
