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 | $0.00033 | $0.01521 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00760 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00304 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
inspecting-skills 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 13d 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.

Inspecting Skills
Discover Python code across skills and enable universal imports. Solves the dash-underscore naming mismatch between skill directories (e.g., browsing-bluesky) and Python imports (e.g., browsing_bluesky).
Installation
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/user/claude-skills')
from inspecting_skills import setup_skill_path, skill_import
Quick Start
Import a Skill
from inspecting_skills import skill_import
# Import by skill name (dash or underscore form)
bsky = skill_import("browsing-bluesky")
posts = bsky.search_posts("python")
# Import specific functions
search, profile = skill_import("browsing-bluesky", ["search_posts", "get_profile"])
Enable Transparent Imports
from inspecting_skills import setup_skill_path
# Configure once at session start
setup_skill_path("/home/user/claude-skills")
# Now import skills directly (underscore form)
from browsing_bluesky import search_posts, get_profile
from remembering import remember, recall
Discover Available Skills
from inspecting_skills import list_importable_skills
skills = list_importable_skills()
for s in skills:
print(f"{s['name']} -> import {s['module_name']}")

What ships with it
6 files 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.
- 13d ago First seen · 243 lines · 33 tokens per session scan A 62fdc939880e
inspecting-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository oaustegard/claude-skills (148 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,521 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
