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 5.1 | $0.00023 | $0.02794 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01397 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00559 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00279 |
Grade A, and why
gardening-skills-wiki 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 4d 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 Gardening Skills Wiki — 105 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 420 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Gardening Skills Wiki
Overview
The skills wiki needs regular maintenance to stay healthy: links break, skills get orphaned, naming drifts, INDEX files fall out of sync.
Core principle: Automate health checks to maintain wiki quality without burning tokens on manual inspection.
When to Use
Run gardening after:
- Adding new skills
- Removing or renaming skills
- Reorganizing categories
- Updating cross-references
- Suspicious that links are broken
Periodic maintenance:
- Weekly during active development
- Monthly during stable periods
Quick Health Check
# Run all checks
~/.claude/garden.sh
# Or run specific checks
~/.claude/check-links.sh
~/.claude/check-naming.sh
~/.claude/check-index-coverage.sh
# Analyze search gaps (what skills are missing)
~/.claude/analyze-search-gaps.sh
The master script runs all checks and provides a health report.
What Gets Checked
1. Link Validation (check-links.sh)
Checks:
- Backtick-wrapped
@links - backticks disable resolution - Relative paths like skills/ or skills/gardening-skills-wiki/~/ - should use skills/ absolute paths
- All
skills/references resolve to existing files - Skills referenced in INDEX files exist
- Orphaned skills (not in any INDEX)
Fixes:
- Remove backticks from @ references
- Convert skills/ and skills/gardening-skills-wiki/~/ relative paths to skills/ absolute paths
- Update broken skills/ references to correct paths
- Add orphaned skills to their category INDEX
- Remove references to deleted skills
2. Naming Consistency (check-naming.sh)
Checks:
- Directory names are kebab-case
- No uppercase or underscores in directory names
- Frontmatter fields present (name, description, when_to_use, version, type)
- Skill names use active voice (not "How to...")
- Empty directories
Fixes:
- Rename directories to kebab-case
- Add missing frontmatter fields
- Remove empty directories
- Rephrase names to active voice
3. INDEX Coverage (check-index-coverage.sh)
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.
