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 | $0.00253 | $0.04204 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00101 | $0.01682 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00051 | $0.00841 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00420 |
Grade A, and why
wicked-garden-repo-learn 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
wicked-garden-repo-learn — churn-led repo learning that captures back
A repo teaches you where to look if you follow two independent signals at once: temporal (where the code churns) and structural (what the rest of the system depends on). This skill walks the intersection, reads it for real, and captures the learning back as estate proposals — knowledge (what is true, read from the code) and policies (what should hold); a memory only for what you witnessed or were told. Garden ORCHESTRATES; estate GROUNDS (graph + read) and RECEIVES (the proposal queue); a human APPROVES — every capture is an inert proposal the studio Memories / Policies surfaces review, never an asserted fact.
Why churn is a separate step: estate's RankHotspots is structural PageRank, not
temporal — it never sees git history. Churn is the gap this skill fills, with a
bounded, sampled git-log method; the two signals meet in § Cross-reference.
Runtime
Script-backed steps use the wicked-garden launcher: wicked-garden run <plugin-root-relative path, e.g. scripts/…> [args]. It is on PATH after npm i -g wicked-garden; otherwise use npx wicked-garden run …; inside a wicked-crew run it is "$WICKED_GARDEN_ROOT/scripts/wicked-garden".
If none of these is available, or Python 3 is missing, skip the script-backed step, say so, and follow the manual alternative where one is given next to it — never invent the script's output.
Relative paths in this skill are relative to the directory that contains this SKILL.md.
The three phases (= wicked-crew's three units)
| # | Phase (crew unit) | Produces | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | churn | ranked active paths/areas over a window, top-N capped | refs/churn-sampling.md |
| 2 | hotspots (hotspots + blast-radius, then READ) | most-central symbols + blast-radius of the churn set, and real understanding of the load-bearing, volatile code | wicked-garden-search (reused — do NOT reimplement) + § Read the intersection |
| 3 | capture | memories AND policies as inert proposal.submit entries |
refs/capture-proposals.md |
What ships with it
2 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.

wicked-garden-repo-learn is a skill published in the GitHub repository mikeparcewski/wicked-garden (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 253 tokens to every session and 4,204 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-09-08.
