Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

malo-find-skills 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Skills

This skill helps you discover and install skills from the open agent skills ecosystem (https://skills.sh). Based on the find-skills skill by Vercel, adapted for this Nix-managed environment.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks "how do I do X" where X might be a common task with an existing skill
  • Says "find a skill for X" or "is there a skill for X"
  • Asks "can you do X" where X is a specialized capability
  • Expresses interest in extending agent capabilities
  • Wants to search for tools, templates, or workflows

How Skills Work in This Setup

All paths below (e.g. home/claude.nix, configs/claude/skills/) are relative to the nix-config directory.

Skills are split into two categories:

  • Custom skills: Directories in configs/claude/skills/ committed to the nix-config repo. These are skills we author and maintain.
  • External skills: Installed from skills.sh via npx skills add. These are managed by an activation script in home/claude.nix and are gitignored (they appear as symlinks in the skills directory, not regular directories).

The activation script defines a list called externalSkills. On every nh darwin switch --no-nom, it removes all Claude Code external skills and reinstalls only the declared ones. This keeps external skills declarative and reproducible.

Finding Skills

Step 1: Search

Run the find command with a relevant query:

npx skills find [query]

For example:

  • "how do I make my React app faster?" -> npx skills find react performance
  • "can you help me with PR reviews?" -> npx skills find pr review
  • "I need to create a changelog" -> npx skills find changelog

You can also browse skills at https://skills.sh/

Step 2: Present Options

When you find relevant skills, present them with:

  1. The skill name and what it does
  2. The install command
  3. A link to learn more

Step 3: Install

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.
