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 5.1 | $0.00022 | $0.00703 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00351 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00141 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
a2a-protocol 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
A2A Protocol Skill
Implementation of the Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol for inter-agent communication.
What it does
- Agent Discovery via Agent Cards
- Send Messages to remote agents
- Task Management (submit, check status, get results)
- Streaming via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- Authentication support (API keys, Bearer tokens)
Installation
# Install Python dependencies
pip install requests sseclient-py
Usage
Register Your Agent
.\a2a.ps1 -Action register -Name "MyAgent" -Description "Research agent" -Capabilities "research,analysis" -Endpoint "https://my-agent.com/a2a"
Get Agent Card
.\a2a.ps1 -Action card -AgentId "uuid-of-agent"
Send Message
.\a2a.ps1 -Action send -ToAgent "target-agent-uuid" -Content "Hello agent!"
Submit Task
.\a2a.ps1 -Action task -ToAgent "target-agent-uuid" -Task "Research quantum computing"
Check Task Status
.\a2a.ps1 -Action status -TaskId "task-uuid"
List Remote Agents
.\a2a.ps1 -Action list -RegistryUrl "https://registry.agentlink.io"
A2A Concepts
- Agent Card: JSON describing agent capabilities (name, endpoint, methods)
- Client Agent: Agent that sends tasks
- Remote Agent: Agent that receives and processes tasks
- Task: Work request with ID, status, and result
- Message: Direct communication between agents
API Reference
POST /a2a/agents/register - Register agent
GET /a2a/agents/{id} - Get agent info
GET /a2a/agents/{id}/card - Get Agent Card
POST /a2a/messages - Send message
POST /a2a/tasks - Submit task
GET /a2a/tasks/{id} - Get task status
GET /a2a/tasks/{id}/result - Get task result
Examples
Python Usage
from a2a import A2AClient
client = A2AClient("https://remote-agent.com/a2a", api_key="your-key")
# Send message
client.send_message("target-agent-id", "Hello!")
# Submit task
task_id = client.submit_task("target-agent-id", "Do X")
result = client.get_result(task_id)
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.

a2a-protocol is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lord1Egypt/awesome-skill-forge (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 703 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.
