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 | $0.00000 | $0.00256 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00128 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00051 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
gbif-species-occurrence-search-starter 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 12d 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.
What it actually says
GBIF Species Occurrence Search Starter
Use this skill to query the official GBIF API for a canonical species match and a small live occurrence sample.
What it does
- Resolves a scientific name against the GBIF species matcher.
- Fetches a compact occurrence sample with optional country filtering.
- Returns a normalized JSON summary suitable for biodiversity data discovery and early species-distribution workflows.
When to use it
- You need a verified starter for
Species distribution modeling. - You want a lightweight live biodiversity occurrence query without adding a heavyweight geospatial stack first.
Example
python3 skills/ecology-evolution-and-biodiversity/gbif-species-occurrence-search-starter/scripts/run_gbif_species_occurrence_search.py \
--scientific-name "Puma concolor" \
--country US \
--out scratch/gbif/puma_concolor_us.json
Verification
- Skill-local tests:
python3 -m unittest discover -s skills/ecology-evolution-and-biodiversity/gbif-species-occurrence-search-starter/tests -p 'test_*.py' - Repository smoke:
python3 -m unittest tests.smoke.test_phase30_empty_domain_seed_skills -v
What ships with it
7 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.

gbif-species-occurrence-search-starter is a skill published in the GitHub repository ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry (39 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 256 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 2026-08-30.
