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 | $0.00080 | $0.02467 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00040 | $0.01234 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00493 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00247 |
Grade A, and why
Agent Development 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to agent-identifier — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Agent Development for Claude Code Plugins
Overview
Agents are autonomous subprocesses that handle complex, multi-step tasks independently. Understanding agent structure, triggering conditions, and system prompt design enables creating powerful autonomous capabilities.
Key concepts:
- Agents are FOR autonomous work, commands are FOR user-initiated actions
- Markdown file format with YAML frontmatter
- Triggering via description field with examples
- System prompt defines agent behavior
- Model and color customization

description (required)
Defines when Claude should trigger this agent. This is the most critical field.

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.

Agent Development is a skill published in the GitHub repository opensesh/karimo-overview (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,467 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to agent-identifier, differing in 26 lines, and is treated as a copy.
