PromptKit is a version-controlled library of reusable prompt components for engineering work, including personas, reasoning protocols, output formats, and task templates. Engineers use it to create repeatable prompts for activities such as specification work, debugging, code review, security audits, and change management across multiple engineering fields. The catalogue add-ons provide agent workflows for using this prompt-engineering system.
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 | $0.00041 | $0.00107 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00043 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00021 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00011 |
Grade A, and why
boot 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 1mo 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.
What it actually says
You must read and execute bootstrap.md in the repository root. Treat it
as the entry point and single source of truth for PromptKit component
discovery, template selection, parameter gathering, and prompt assembly.
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.

boot is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/PromptKit (113 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 107 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.

github-review-pr
Review GitHub pull requests with detailed, multi-perspective code analysis using parallel subagents. Use this skill whenever the user wants to review a PR, asks for code review on a pull request, mentions "review PR", "check this PR", "look at pull request", or references a PR number or GitHub PR URL. Do NOT use for…
github-review-pr
Review a GitHub pull request by number or URL for evidence-backed defects. Not for reviewing local uncommitted changes.
code-simplifier
Simplify existing code for clarity and maintainability without changing behavior. Use when asked to clean up or simplify code, especially recent changes.
code-review-and-quality
Conducts multi-axis code review for .NET/C# changes (correctness, readability, architecture, security, performance). Use before merging any change. Use when reviewing code written by yourself, another agent, or a human. Use when you need to assess code quality across multiple dimensions before it enters the main…
code-simplification
Simplifies .NET/C# code for clarity without changing behavior. Use when refactoring C# code that works but is harder to read, maintain, or extend than it should be. Use when reviewing code that has accumulated unnecessary complexity. Preserves exact behavior; examples cover TypeScript, Python, React, and C#.
codex
Delegate coding tasks to the OpenAI Codex CLI for features, refactoring, PR reviews, and batch fixes. Requires the codex CLI and typically a git repository.
