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 | $0.00094 | $0.02285 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.01143 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00457 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00229 |
Grade A, and why
apply-semantic-versioning 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apply Semantic Versioning
Determine and apply the correct semantic version bump by analyzing changes since the last release. This skill reads version files, classifies changes as breaking (major), feature (minor), or fix (patch), computes the new version number, and updates the appropriate files. Follows SemVer 2.0.0 specification.
When to Use
- Preparing a new release and need to determine the correct version number
- After merging a set of changes and before tagging a release
- Evaluating whether a change constitutes a breaking change
- Adding pre-release identifiers (alpha, beta, rc) to a version
- Resolving disagreement about what version bump is appropriate
Inputs
- Required: Project root directory containing a version file (DESCRIPTION, package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, or VERSION)
- Required: Git history since the last release (tag or commit)
- Optional: Commit convention in use (Conventional Commits, free-form)
- Optional: Pre-release label to apply (alpha, beta, rc)
- Optional: Previous version if not readable from files
Procedure
Step 1: Read Current Version
Locate and read the version file in the project root.
# R packages
grep "^Version:" DESCRIPTION
# Node.js
grep '"version"' package.json
# Rust
grep '^version' Cargo.toml
# Python
grep 'version' pyproject.toml
# Plain file
cat VERSION
Parse the current version into major.minor.patch components. If the version contains a pre-release suffix (e.g., 1.2.0-beta.1), note it separately.
Got: Current version identified as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE].
If fail: If no version file is found, check for a VERSION file or git tags (git describe --tags --abbrev=0). If no version exists at all, start at 0.1.0 for initial development or 1.0.0 if the project has a stable public API.
Step 2: Analyze Changes Since Last Release
Retrieve the list of changes since the last tagged release.
# Find the last version tag
git describe --tags --abbrev=0
# List commits since that tag
git log --oneline v1.2.3..HEAD
# If using Conventional Commits, filter by type
git log --oneline v1.2.3..HEAD | grep -E "^[a-f0-9]+ (feat|fix|BREAKING)"
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.

apply-semantic-versioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (32 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 2,285 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 2026-09-03.
