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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00070 | $0.00795 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00398 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00159 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
REPLACE-WITH-PLATFORM-NAME 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Platform Name
Standalone install? If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the
tao-setupskill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery).
Short summary of the platform's execution model. Instance-based or job-based? API-first or docker-first? Single-node or multi-node? Managed or self-hosted?
For generic docker conventions, defer to tao-skill-bank:tao-run-on-docker. This skill covers the platform-specific layering on top.

Execution — the four verbs
A platform skill is a consumer: it runs a model/data skill's spec-bundle by
implementing submit/status/logs/cancel over the native CLI, mutating only
the job-record. No SDK. See tao-skill-bank:tao-launch-workflow for the shared
contract and tao-skill-bank:tao-run-on-docker for a worked example.
- submit — stage inputs via
tao-data-io, lint the command withredact_secrets.py, thentao_job_record.py open(mints the id + bindsresults_dirbefore launch), launch naming the backend object after the id, andmark ... --state RUNNING. - status / logs — poll the native backend; map states to the fixed vocab
PENDING RUNNING COMPLETE ERROR CANCELED UNKNOWN. - cancel — native cancel + teardown, then
mark ... --state CANCELED.
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.

REPLACE-WITH-PLATFORM-NAME is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank (88 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 795 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
