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 | $0.00122 | $0.02440 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00976 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00488 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00244 |
Grade A, and why
better-codex 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
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.

better-codex is a skill published in the GitHub repository noobnooc/agent (1,387 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 2,440 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.

profile-report
Unified personal genomic profile report — reads a PatientProfile JSON and synthesizes all skill results into a single "Your Genomic Profile" document.
hermes-context-optimization
Use this when the user asks about Hermes prompt/context size, “hello” startup cost, compression behavior, memory/profile bloat, tool-schema overhead, skill loading, session-store/search-index storage, or multimodal/visual-context approaches such as Snapcompact.
hermes-plugin-development
Use when: creating, debugging, or integrating Hermes Agent plugins, including Python backend plugins (tools, hooks, routers, middleware) and JavaScript Hermes Desktop runtime plugins.
content-style
Writing Reddit-native content that sounds human, avoids AI tells, and delivers value through structure and specificity. Applies to workshop posts, definitive model guides, research megathreads, and community FYI/update posts.
github-pre-push-gates
Before pushing a branch to a shared remote, run through these gates. They prevent pushing credentials, PII, private history, or a broken tree. The skill covers the pre-PR quality phase — use github-pr-workflow for the PR lifecycle itself.
coding-worktree-recovery
Use this skill when coding-agent work is interrupted, an agent exits without a clean commit, multiple controllers target the same checkout, or the checkout produces inconsistent file/Git behavior.
