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.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Rogue Agent · line 211 Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
- medium Privilege Escalation · line 103 Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.Fix: Avoid sudo/root unless strictly required. Prefer least-privilege patterns. If elevation is needed, document the justification and scope.
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 | $0.00049 | $0.03041 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.01216 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00608 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00304 |
Grade B, and why
packmind-create-skill 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 1mo 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.

About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend GitLab Duo's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform GitLab Duo from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
What Skills Provide
- Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks
Anatomy of a Skill
Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│ ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)
│ │ ├── name: (required)
│ │ └── description: (required)
│ └── Markdown instructions (required)
└── Bundled Resources (optional)
├── scripts/ - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)
├── references/ - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed
└── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)
SKILL.md (required)
Metadata Quality: The name and description in YAML frontmatter determine when GitLab Duo will use the skill. Be specific about what the skill does and when to use it. Use the third-person (e.g. "This skill should be used when..." instead of "Use this skill when...").
Bundled Resources (optional)
Scripts (scripts/)
Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.) for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.
- When to include: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed
- Example:
scripts/rotate_pdf.pyfor PDF rotation tasks - Benefits: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context
- Note: Scripts may still need to be read by GitLab Duo for patching or environment-specific adjustments
What ships with it
4 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.

packmind-create-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository PackmindHub/packmind (319 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 3,041 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
ce-compound
Document a recently solved problem or durable project vocabulary in docs/solutions/ or CONCEPTS.md. Use when capturing a learning after work.
ce-work
Execute a plan or concrete work prompt end-to-end. Use when implementing from docs/plans, a spec path, or a clear build request; use ce-debug for open-ended bugs.
loadout-import-workflow
Import another repo's command/skill suite into loadout as a workflow. Use when the user points at an agent framework, plugin, or command pack (e.g. a GitHub repo, a .claude/commands/ directory, a skills pack) and wants its process turned into a loadout [[workflows]] entry — "import this workflow", "turn this plugin…
ce-commit-push-pr
Commit, push, and open a PR. Use when asked to ship/open a PR, or for PR-description-only flows like writing, rewriting, or describing a PR body.
sdd
Execute the Liatrio Spec-Driven Development (SDD) workflow when explicitly invoked by the user. NOTE: this skill is NOT intended to be dynamically loaded or automatically triggered; it should only ever be explicitly called by the user.
loadout-migrate
Migrate existing global AI agent instructions into loadout. Use when adopting loadout, importing a CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / global agent rules into loadout, setting up /.config/loadout/config.toml, or turning prose agent instructions into reusable fragments and stack-targeted profiles.
