Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

resource-scout 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.

SkillsMP skillsmp.com 71000+ skills, long-tail search
SkillHub.club skillhub.club AI-evaluated, quality filter
Claude Skills Hub claudeskills.info UI-friendly browsing

Search patterns:

# On SkillsMP
[domain] skill          → "marketing skill", "database skill"
[framework] claude      → "react claude", "fastapi claude"
[task] automation       → "deployment automation"

Step 3: Search GitHub

Curated lists:

  • github.com/keyuyuan/skillhub-awesome-skills - 精选清单
  • github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-claude-skills - 生态大全
  • github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills - 大量通用技能

site:github.com "SKILL.md" [topic]

Step 4: Evaluate & Install

When skill found:

  1. Check last update date (prefer recent)
  2. Review SKILL.md for quality
  3. Check if has scripts/references
  4. Install with skill-downloader or manual copy

What ships with it

1 file 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.
