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 | $0.00194 | $0.01942 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00097 | $0.00971 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00388 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
whiteboard-to-infographic 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 8d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Whiteboard to Infographic
Turn a messy hand-drawn capture into a clean, branded one-page infographic — delivered as a single editable PowerPoint slide — that a consultant can put in front of a client. The hard, non-delegable work is reading the handwriting correctly and choosing the right structure; the styling and layout are codified here so every output looks consistent.
The discipline (do this in order — do not skip ahead to styling)
This is structure-first. Producing a polished deliverable from a misread sketch is the main failure mode, so confirm interpretation before building.
-
Read the source carefully. The photo is the source of truth. Zoom and crop aggressively — examine the image, then crop it into regions and re-examine at 2–3x so the handwriting is legible. Transcribe every box, label, arrow, annotation, and margin note. Do not silently drop anything you can't read — list it as a question.
-
Confirm interpretation and lock structure. Before building the slide, send the user a compact transcription: the nodes/steps, the connections/flows, and any side notes or requirements. Explicitly flag: ambiguous words, unexpanded acronyms, and anything you're inferring. Ask the questions that change the build (see "Questions to ask"). Wait for confirmation. Build only what's on the board — never invent steps, fields, or connections to make it look complete. If a relationship isn't drawn, don't draw it.
-
Get the color palette. The palette is client-specific and is NOT baked into this skill. If the user gave colors in the prompt or context, use them. Otherwise, ask before building. You need hex values for these roles:
- ink — primary structure, dark text, node borders (e.g. a deep navy)
- secondary — sub-heads, connectors, region boundaries (e.g. steel blue)
- accent — sequence numbers, bullets, flags, emphasis (e.g. a signal red)
- card — light fill for callout cards / cluster fills (e.g. pale blue-gray)
- accent-tint — light wash behind accent-flagged items (e.g. pale red) Derive sensible text tints (e.g. a muted slate for sub-captions) from these. Offer to suggest a palette if the user has no preference, but don't assume.
What ships with it
4 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.

whiteboard-to-infographic is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/cat-agent-skills (69 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 1,942 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
