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 | $0.00097 | $0.01415 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00707 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00283 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00142 |
Grade A, and why
ping-universal-services 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ping-universal-services
Shared strategic services used across PingOne, PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud (AIC), and Ping Software Suite — invoked from flows rather than administered as standalone products. Covers PingOne Protect (risk), PingOne Verify (identity proofing / KYC), PingOne Credentials (verifiable credentials), PingOne IGA (governance), PingOne Authorize (fine-grained authorization), and cross-platform SSO.
What this skill does for you: Generates service and policy configuration and drives it through MCP tools where they exist; where a tool does not exist, it guides you through the docs with the policy fields, thresholds, and node-wiring constraints for each service. Both modes are available — it uses whichever the platform supports for the task.
Invocation
Invoke explicitly with /ping-universal-services or by saying "use ping-universal-services to...".
When to use this skill
- "Add PingOne Protect risk evaluation to my login flow"
- "Use PingOne Verify for KYC / identity proofing during registration"
- "Configure PingOne MFA — device management, MFA policies, or MFA-as-a-service enrollment API"
- "Issue or present a verifiable credential"
- "Add IGA governance to my PingOne environment"
- "Use PingOne Authorize for fine-grained authorization"
- "Score risk with PingOne Protect and adapt the journey based on the signal"
- "Cross-platform service selection — which shared service do I need?"
When NOT to use this skill
- If the task is platform setup or admin: use
ping-foundation. - If the task is flow / journey design (without a specific service invocation): use
ping-orchestration. - If the user is just orienting or choosing a platform: use
ping-quickstart. - If the task is integrating a Protect / Verify / Credentials SDK or library into app code: use
ping-app-integration— SDK wiring is app integration, not service configuration. - If the user mentions "add security" or "prevent suspicious logins" without naming a specific service, ask a clarifying question — the task may be Protect (risk scoring) or just MFA (orchestration).
- If the task is MFA node/connector wiring within a journey or flow (not MFA policy or device management): use
ping-orchestration— that is flow design, not service configuration. - If the task is generic app / SDK integration without referencing a named Universal Service: use
ping-app-integration.

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.

ping-universal-services is a skill published in the GitHub repository pingidentity/agent-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 1,415 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
