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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00063 | $0.00993 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00496 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00199 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
process-sop-architect 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 4d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Process & SOP Architect
When to activate this skill
Activate when the user asks to document, map, redesign, standardize, or improve a business process. Typical triggers include: "turn these notes into an SOP", "map our onboarding process", "create a RACI", "document the current state", "identify process gaps", or "create a future-state workflow".
Do NOT activate when:
- The user wants a software architecture diagram rather than a business process.
- The request is only to summarize a meeting without building an operating procedure.
- The user has not supplied enough information to identify the process scope and actors.
How this skill runs
- Review the user's source material and build a process specification using
references/process_spec_schema.md. - Ask targeted questions for missing trigger, scope, roles, decisions, exceptions, controls, or outputs. Ask one question at a time.
- From the skill's root directory (the folder that contains
scripts/andreferences/), save the specification asprocess_spec.json, and run the commands below from that same directory so thescripts/paths resolve. Use this directory rather than/tmp, which is not reliably writable in the sandbox. - Validate it:
python scripts/validate_process_spec.py --input process_spec.json - Generate the process pack, including the polished executive PowerPoint briefing:
python scripts/generate_process_pack.py \ --input process_spec.json \ --output-dir process_pack - Return the generated SOP, process map, RACI workbook, improvement backlog, executive summary, and PowerPoint briefing.
Requirements
python-docx(Word SOP)openpyxl(Excel RACI and control register)python-pptx(PowerPoint executive briefing)
These packages are present in the Copilot Studio sandbox — no pip install is required. The generators import them at startup and fail fast with a clear error if a dependency is missing, so a partial pack is never reported as complete.

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.

process-sop-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/cat-agent-skills (64 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 993 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
