Octos is a self-hosted AI assistant that runs on a user's computer and can connect to different AI providers, execute code, browse the web, remember information, schedule jobs, and create documents through browser, terminal, and messaging interfaces. The catalogue entries extend or configure this assistant's workflows.
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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00454 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00227 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
git 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 9d 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.
What it actually says
Git Version Control
You can perform git operations using the shell tool. Use git for version control tasks like committing, branching, diffing, and managing repositories.
Common Operations
Status and History
git status
git log --oneline -20
git diff
git diff --staged
git show HEAD
Branching
git branch # list branches
git branch feature-name # create branch
git checkout feature-name # switch branch
git checkout -b feature-name # create and switch
git merge feature-name # merge branch
Committing
git add <files> # stage specific files
git commit -m "message" # commit with message
git commit --amend # amend last commit
Remote Operations
git pull origin main
git push origin branch-name
git fetch origin
git remote -v
Stash
git stash # stash changes
git stash list # list stashes
git stash pop # apply and drop
Investigation
git log --oneline --graph --all -20 # visual branch history
git blame <file> # line-by-line authorship
git log --follow -p -- <file> # file history with diffs
git reflog # recent HEAD movements
Best Practices
- Always check
git statusbefore committing to see what will be included. - Write clear, concise commit messages describing the "why" not the "what".
- Use
git diffto review changes before staging. - Prefer creating new commits over amending published commits.
- Never force-push to shared branches without explicit permission.
- Stage specific files rather than
git add .to avoid committing unintended files.
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.

git is a skill published in the GitHub repository octos-org/octos (1,047 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 454 tokens. 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.
