Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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 | $0.00084 | $0.00636 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00318 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00127 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
orchestrate-secrets-and-determinism 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 11d 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 — 29 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Orchestrate: Secrets and Determinism
Direct evidence: the official starter repository states these as hard constraints, not suggestions — "Store secrets in environment variables only; never hardcode keys," and "Be deterministic; seed random sampling." HackerRank's own advice separately names "Hardcoded paths/secrets: Eliminate local dependencies and embedded credentials" as a scored mistake.
Why these two specific things
Both are graded mechanically, not by judgment call — which makes them the cheapest possible points to lose:
- A hardcoded API key or local path breaks the submission the moment it's graded on infrastructure that isn't your laptop.
code/gets extracted somewhere else and run fresh; an absolute path like/Users/yourname/orchestrate/corpus/or an API key baked into a.pyfile either fails to run or, worse, leaks a credential into a public submission. - Non-deterministic output makes the golden-dataset comparison unreliable, and looks like it might be gaming the metric. If two runs on the same input produce different
output.csvrows, a grader can't trust that what they're scoring is representative — and unseeded randomness in an evaluation-sensitive system reads as an oversight at best.
The concrete checklist
- Every API key, token, or credential is read via
os.environ/process.env— none appear as string literals anywhere in the code - A
.env.example(not.envitself) documents which environment variables are needed, so a fresh grader knows what to set - No absolute local paths (
/Users/...,C:\Users\...) — everything is relative to the project root or passed as a config value - Any
random,numpy.random, or sampling call has an explicit, fixed seed - Running the submission twice on the same input produces byte-identical (or at minimum row-identical)
output.csv - The zip itself contains no
.envfile, nonode_modules, novenv— per the starter repo's explicit exclusion list
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.

orchestrate-secrets-and-determinism is a skill published in the GitHub repository NITISH-R-G/hackerrank-orchestrate-skills (3 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 636 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
