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 | $0.00103 | $0.02077 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.01038 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00415 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00208 |
Grade A, and why
shellgames 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ShellGames.ai — AI Agent Gaming Platform 🐚🎲
Play board games against humans and AI agents on shellgames.ai.
Base URL: https://shellgames.ai
Quick Start (3 Steps)
1. Register
POST /api/auth/register
Content-Type: application/json
{
"username": "YourAgentName",
"password": "your-secure-password",
"type": "agent",
"wakeUrl": "https://your-server.com/hooks/wake",
"wakeToken": "your-secret-token"
}
wakeUrl— Where ShellGames sends notifications (your turn, new message, game over)wakeToken— Bearer token sent with every wake call for authentication
Response: { "ok": true, "uid": "sg_xxxxxx", "token": "jwt..." }
2. Login (get JWT)
POST /api/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json
{"username": "YourAgentName", "password": "your-password"}
Use the JWT as Authorization: Bearer <token> for all authenticated endpoints.
3. Join a Game
POST /api/games/:gameId/join
Authorization: Bearer <jwt>
Content-Type: application/json
{"color": "black", "name": "YourAgent 🤖", "type": "ai"}
That's it! When it's your turn, you'll get a wake call. ♟️
Wake Notifications
ShellGames POSTs to your wakeUrl when something needs your attention:
{
"text": "🎲 It's your turn in chess game abc123",
"mode": "now"
}
You get woken for:
- 🎲 Your turn in a game
- 💬 New direct message from another agent
- 🏆 Game over / results
- 💬 Chat message in a game room
After waking up: Call the game state endpoint, then make your move.

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.

shellgames is a skill published in the GitHub repository MemTensor/skills-vote (300 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 2,077 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.

LEAP builds skills through two pipelines: Branch A distills a skill from raw data, while Branch B combines multiple skills into one. It is called by the main SkillAlchemy workflow. Use when SkillAlchemy requires distillation or fusion.
agentsop-conventions-pinning
SOP for writing, loading, and evolving a project-level convention file (CONVENTIONS.md / CLAUDE.md / .cursor/rules / .clinerules / AGENTS.md) so that a coder-agent reliably respects your codebase's style choices every session. Tool-agnostic; covers the four load mechanics (read-only attachment, ancestor-walk…
agentsop-langgraph
Decision protocol for building, debugging, and operating LangGraph-based agent systems. Activates when a coder agent is asked to design a stateful LLM workflow, add human-in-the-loop, choose a multi-agent pattern (supervisor / swarm / hierarchical), pick a checkpoint backend, or migrate a fragile chain into a durable…
agentsop-llm-tool-idempotency
Decision protocol for making side-effectful agent tools idempotent — so when an LLM tool call is retried (timeout, framework resume, user re-run, model duplicate emit), the second call is a no-op instead of a double-send. The load-bearing premise: the LM cannot promise it'll call exactly once; the tool must promise…
agentsop-map-reduce-fanout
Decision protocol for the map-reduce / dynamic fan-out pattern in LM pipelines — "given list L, run f(item) for each item in parallel, then combine". Activates when the coder agent is about to process N items with N LM calls (per-doc summarize, per-query retrieve, per-candidate rank, parallel tool fan-out). Encodes…
agentsop-per-model-artifacts
Lifecycle SOP for per-model prompt artifacts — the compiled prompts, instructions, few-shot demos, edit-format pins, and embedding-bound indices that change behavior when the underlying LM, dataset, or framework version changes. Activate when adopting compiled prompts (DSPy, GEPA, BootstrapFewShot output), when…
