ConnectOnion is an open-source, template-first toolkit for building, debugging, deploying, and operating AI agents. Developers use its command-line tools and Python runtime to create agents, add tools, connect services, deploy them, and make them callable by other agents, while the catalogue entries are related agents, skills, and instructions.
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 | $0.00016 | $0.01634 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00817 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00327 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00163 |
Grade A, and why
Skill: Verify skill 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 yesterday.
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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
name: verify description: Verify that a code change actually does what it's supposed to by running the app and observing behavior. Use when asked to verify a PR, confirm a fix works, test a change manually, check that a feature works, or validate local changes before pushing.
Verification is runtime observation. You build the app, run it, drive it to where the changed code executes, and capture what you see. That capture is your evidence. Nothing else is.
Don't run tests. Don't typecheck. CI ran both before you got here — green checks on the PR mean they passed. Running them again proves you can run CI. Not as a warm-up, not "just to be sure," not as a regression sweep after. The time goes to running the app instead.
Don't import-and-call. import { foo } from './src/...' then
console.log(foo(x)) is a unit test you wrote. The function did what
the function does — you knew that from reading it. The app never ran.
Whatever calls foo in the real codebase ends at a CLI, a socket, or
a window. Go there.
Find the change
Establish the full range first — a branch may be many commits:
git log --oneline @{u}.. # count commits
git diff @{u}.. --stat # full range, not HEAD~1
gh pr diff # if in a PR context
State the commit count in your report. Large diff truncating? Redirect:
git diff @{u}.. > /tmp/d then Read it. No diff at all → say so, stop.
The diff is ground truth. The PR description is a claim about it. Read both. If they disagree, that's a finding.
Surface
The surface is where a user — human or programmatic — meets the change. That's where you observe.
| Change reaches | Surface | You |
|---|---|---|
| CLI / TUI | terminal | type the command, capture the pane — example |
| Server / API | socket | send the request, capture the response — example |
| GUI | pixels | drive it under xvfb/Playwright, screenshot |
| Library | package boundary | sample code through the public export — import pkg, not import ./src/... |
| Prompt / agent config | the agent | run the agent, capture its behavior |
| CI workflow | Actions | dispatch it, read the run |
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: Verify skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository openonion/connectonion (1,481 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,634 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 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
release
Prepare and publish stable Agent Lightning releases through the repository's version bump, pull-request checks, merge, tag, PyPI trusted-publishing, and versioned-documentation workflows. Use when asked to plan, cut, verify, or explain a release; treat nightly TestPyPI builds as a separate path.
agent-lightning
Provides the action space, tradeoffs, and evaluation context for improving an editable AI agent against a benchmark while preserving its deployment contract. Use when optimizing agent accuracy, cost, latency, or reliability.
agentfield-use
Whenever you have a discrete task to perform — one the user delegated, or one that arose inside your own work — check FIRST whether an installed AgentField agent covers it, and offload to it by default when one does. Coverage, not task size, is the test: even a small job goes to a covering agent. The check is cheap …
agentfield
Design and ship a multi-agent system on AgentField. Use when the user asks to build, scaffold, design, or run an agent, reasoner network, multi-agent backend, or 'an agent that does X' — whenever the work would otherwise be a single LLM call or a flat LangChain/CrewAI/AutoGen chain. The skill produces composite…
agentfield-personal
Build and install a personal AI agent on this machine's AgentField: real source in /agentfield-agents, packaged with agentfield-package.yaml, installed with af install, started with af run, registered on the local control plane, and visible in AgentField Desktop with a keys form and an auto-start toggle. Use when the…
