microsoft/cat-agent-skills is a static website that catalogs reusable instruction sets and related packages for AI agents. People use it to search, filter, rate, and download skills for Cowork, Copilot Studio, and Scout, along with Copilot plugins and Scout automations. The catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugins, and settings displayed by the site.
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 | $0.00147 | $0.01268 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00059 | $0.00507 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00254 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
policy-change-pack-for-education 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 2d 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.

Policy Change Pack for Education
Overview
Turns an approved policy or policy revision into an implementation pack: what changed, which local procedures are affected, which audiences must hear it, who owns each action, and by when. It preserves the source policy version and approval trail so later runs can detect drift.
When to Use
- A policy or handbook section has been approved or revised and must be implemented
- The user needs the downstream procedure, communication, and owner list for a change
- The user asks what changed between two policy versions and who is affected
When NOT to Use
- Authoring the policy text itself — that is a drafting task, not this workflow
- A general announcement with no governing source document — use stakeholder-comms
- Reviewing agents, plugins, or connectors — use governance-review-for-education
Shared Skill Contract
This skill follows the institution's shared contract for every run:
- Intent check — confirm outcome, audience, timeframe, and format before working.
- Source plan — show the sources selected, their date ranges, access gaps, and freshness.
- Clarification gate — ask only for missing information that would change the result.
- Staged execution — keep discovery, synthesis, creation, review, and finalization separate.
- Reviewable output — separate facts, interpretation, recommendations, assumptions, and open questions.
- Human approval — require confirmation before sending, publishing, or changing any record.
- Reusable state — carry accepted decisions forward without silently reusing stale assumptions.
- Quality check — run the checks below before presenting final output.
- Telemetry — log workflow signals only; never sensitive content.
- Failure behavior — explain missing access, unsupported sources, uncertainty, and partial completion.
Core Instructions
Step 1: Identify the authority
Locate the approved policy and its version with SearchDrive / SearchM365 / ReadFileContent. Record file name, version, approval date, and approver. If more than one candidate matches, list up to 10 and confirm before proceeding.
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.

policy-change-pack-for-education is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/cat-agent-skills (101 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 1,268 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-11-06.
