Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.
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 high
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 →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 122 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
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 | $0.00024 | $0.01175 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00588 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00235 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
skill-copilot-provider 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 10d 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 — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitHub Copilot Provider Skill
Overview
GitHub Copilot CLI (GA since Feb 2026) serves as an optional provider in the Claude Octopus
multi-LLM ecosystem. Integration uses the official copilot -p programmatic mode, not
reverse-engineered API endpoints.
Core principle: Copilot supplements existing providers for research and exploration at zero additional cost (uses existing GitHub Copilot subscription). Each prompt counts as one premium request against your subscription quota.
Agent types: copilot (general), copilot-research (research-focused)
Detection
# Check copilot CLI is available
if ! command -v copilot &>/dev/null; then
# Copilot CLI not installed — silently skip
return 0
fi
Graceful degradation: When Copilot CLI is unavailable or unauthenticated, silently skip. Other providers continue to operate normally.
Authentication
Copilot CLI checks credentials in this precedence order:
COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKENenv var (highest priority — fine-grained PAT with "Copilot Requests" permission)GH_TOKENenv varGITHUB_TOKENenv var- OAuth token from system keychain (via
copilot login) - GitHub CLI (
gh) authentication fallback
Setup
Option 1: Interactive login (recommended for local dev)
copilot login
Option 2: Fine-grained PAT (recommended for CI/automation)
- Create a fine-grained PAT at https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new
- Enable the "Copilot Requests" permission
- Set the env var:
export COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN="github_pat_..."
Option 3: Reuse existing gh auth
If gh auth login is already configured, Copilot CLI will use it automatically.
Note: Classic PATs (ghp_*) are NOT supported. Use fine-grained PATs (github_pat_*).
Available Roles
| Role | Agent Type | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| General | copilot |
Broad research, code explanation, exploration |
| Research | copilot-research |
Research-focused exploration and analysis |
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.

skill-copilot-provider is a skill published in the GitHub repository nyldn/claude-octopus (4,058 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,175 once invoked, about $0.0001 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
ai-context
Generates, updates, and audits AGENTS-first AI IDE context files. Builds canonical AGENTS.md plus thin bridges for Claude Code, Cursor (modern .cursor/rules/.mdc), Copilot, Cline (.clinerules/ directory), Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. Use for creating, regenerating, fixing, or promoting context files…
architecture
This skill should be used when managing Architecture Decision Records or C4 diagrams.
invoice
This skill should be used when the founder wants to get paid through their own Stripe account: list who owes them, create and send an invoice behind a human-approval preview, or chase an overdue one. Test-mode only in v1.
agent-native-audit
This skill should be used when conducting a scored agent-native architecture review. It launches 8 parallel sub-agents to audit action parity, context injection, CRUD completeness, capability discovery, and prompt-native features.
gemini-imagegen
This skill should be used when generating or editing images via the Gemini API: text-to-image, edits, multi-turn refinement, style transfer, mockups.
legal-audit
This skill should be used when auditing existing legal documents for compliance gaps, outdated clauses, missing disclosures, and cross-document consistency. It scans a project for legal documents and displays findings inline.
