Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00331 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00132 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00066 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
qcodes-parameter-sweep-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 2mo 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
QCoDeS Parameter Sweep Starter
Use this skill to run a tiny deterministic parameter sweep with QCoDeS, persist the measurements to a local dataset database, and summarize the recorded sweep.
What it does
- reads a short setpoint list from a TSV file
- records a synthetic measurement sweep into a QCoDeS SQLite database
- reports run metadata, setpoint range, response statistics, and captured points
When to use it
- you need a verified starter for
instrument-control-and-scheduling - you want a local pattern for QCoDeS
Measurementplus dataset capture before wiring in real instruments - you need a deterministic instrumentation example without hardware dependencies
Example
./slurm/envs/instrumentation/bin/python skills/robotics-lab-automation-and-scientific-instrumentation/qcodes-parameter-sweep-starter/scripts/run_qcodes_parameter_sweep.py \
--setpoints skills/robotics-lab-automation-and-scientific-instrumentation/qcodes-parameter-sweep-starter/examples/toy_setpoints.tsv \
--db-out scratch/qcodes/toy_sweep.db \
--summary-out scratch/qcodes/toy_sweep_summary.json
Verification
- Skill-local tests:
python3 -m unittest discover -s skills/robotics-lab-automation-and-scientific-instrumentation/qcodes-parameter-sweep-starter/tests -p 'test_*.py' - Expected summary:
point_count == 4,response_mean == 1.15,run_id == 1
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.

qcodes-parameter-sweep-starter is a skill published in the GitHub repository ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry (43 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 331 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 2026-09-03.
