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 | $0.00044 | $0.00679 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00340 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00136 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00068 |
Grade B, and why
test-backend scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- **all**: Run k3s first, then k3d (k3s requires sudo so test it first while credentials are fresh) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Test Backend Skill
Runs a full lifecycle integration test for the obol stack backend (k3d or k3s).
Arguments
The skill accepts an optional argument specifying which backend to test:
k3s- Test the k3s (bare-metal) backend onlyk3d- Test the k3d (Docker-based) backend onlyall- Test both backends sequentially (default)- No argument defaults to
all
Examples:
/test-backend k3s/test-backend k3d/test-backend all/test-backend(same asall)
Workflow
1. Pre-flight
- Build the obol binary:
go build -o .workspace/bin/obol ./cmd/obolfrom the project root - Verify the binary was created successfully
- Set
OBOL_DEVELOPMENT=trueand add.workspace/binto PATH
2. Run Test Script
Based on the argument, run the appropriate test script(s) located alongside this skill:
- k3s: Run
.agents/skills/test-backend/scripts/test-k3s.sh - k3d: Run
.agents/skills/test-backend/scripts/test-k3d.sh - all: Run k3s first, then k3d (k3s requires sudo so test it first while credentials are fresh)
Execute the script via Bash tool from the project root directory. The scripts require:
- k3s: Linux, sudo access, k3s binary in
.workspace/bin/ - k3d: Docker running, k3d binary in
.workspace/bin/
3. Report Results
After each script completes, report:
- Total pass/fail counts (shown in the RESULTS line)
- Any specific test failures with their names
- Overall verdict: all green or needs attention
If a test script fails (non-zero exit), read the output to identify which test(s) failed and summarize.
Important Notes
- The k3s backend requires NOPASSWD sudo or cached credentials (
sudo -v) — the Bash tool has no TTY for interactive password prompts - The k3d backend requires Docker to be running
- Each test script performs its own cleanup (purge) before and after
- Tests are sequential and ordered: init -> up -> verify -> down -> restart -> purge
- Typical runtime: ~2-4 minutes per backend
- If the environment has issues (Docker not starting, k3s not installing), report the problem clearly rather than retrying endlessly
What ships with it
2 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.

test-backend is a skill published in the GitHub repository ObolNetwork/obol-stack (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 679 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
