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 | $0.00031 | $0.00320 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
add-machine 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.

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.

add-machine is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickGuAI/Herd (17 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 320 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
endy-delegate
Use this skill when a task is best handed off to another coding agent in the endy stack — OpenCode (multi-model worker, fast refactors, test writing), CommandCode/cmd (Kimi K2.6 / DeepSeek), Hermes (Nous Research, tool-heavy), Gemini, or Claude. Covers three delivery modes: short blocking calls, long detached tmux…
endy-state
Use this skill when you need to inspect the endy environment of a running task — handoff lineage (who handed work to whom and why), peers in the same and other endy sessions, and per-agent tier headroom (codex 5h/wk, opencode session cost) so you can pick the next agent to hand off to. The same data is auto-prepended…
endy-live
Use this skill — it is the primary one — when you need to drive another coding agent interactively through a tmux pane. Open named windows, send prompts, capture output, manage lifecycle, AND switch models / change auth / use slash commands inside the live CLI (claude, cmd, opencode, hermes, gemini, codex). Includes a…
subagent-orchestration-skill
Coordinate multiple subagents or delegated workers for parallel research, adversarial review, multi-role review, project slicing, and approval loops. Use when a user asks for multiple agents, subagents, parallel review, cluster research, multi-agent validation, or iterative blocker convergence.

Diagnose a Hames installation without changing it when the user invokes /doctor.
