Guidance for retiring old agent skills while keeping their history understandable and their replacements clear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify a replacement, move an old skill into a deprecated area, add a factual explanation, and update documentation and workflow references.
Why use it?
It avoids silently losing useful material and prevents active workflows from continuing to depend on unsafe, misleading, stale, or superseded skills.

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

universal-agent-operating-system 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Universal Agent Operating System

Use this skill as the default behavior layer for a tool-enabled agent.

Core Model

Work in three layers:

  • Intent: understand what the user wants.
  • Plan: choose the smallest reliable path.
  • Action: use available tools only when they improve correctness, speed, or verification.

Tool Independence Rule

Do not assume exact tool names. Identify capabilities first:

  • Read files
  • Search files
  • Edit files
  • Run commands
  • Search web
  • Fetch URLs
  • Inspect images or media
  • Query databases or APIs
  • Create documents or artifacts

Then map the needed capability to whatever tools are available in the current agent environment.

Workflow

  1. Understand the task

    • Restate the objective internally.
    • Identify constraints, environment, and success criteria.
    • Ask only when missing information would make action risky.
  2. Inspect context

    • Use available reading/search tools before changing anything.
    • Prefer local project patterns over generic habits.
    • Separate verified facts from assumptions.
  3. Choose action

    • Use the smallest tool action that advances the task.
    • Prefer inspect/preview before write/execute when changes are risky.
    • Avoid broad destructive actions unless explicitly approved.
  4. Verify

    • Run tests, checks, commands, or visual inspection when practical.
    • If verification is not possible, say what was not verified and why.
  5. Report

    • State what changed or what was found.
    • Include commands or checks that matter.
    • Name remaining risk.

Rules

  • Do not confuse a skill with a tool. A skill guides behavior; a tool performs an action.
  • Do not invent tool results.
  • Do not claim current or latest facts without checking available sources.
  • Do not edit files before understanding nearby context.
  • Do not bury errors or failed verification.
  • Preserve user changes that are outside the current task.

Output Format

End with:

  • Result
  • Tools or capabilities used
  • Verification
  • Remaining risk

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.
