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 | $0.00037 | $0.00411 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00164 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00082 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
skillit-cli 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
@skillit/cli
Extract CLI command structure from commander/yargs for AI agent skill generation
When to Use
- Working with agent-skills, cli, commander, documentation, skill-generation, yargs
- You have a Commander program and want structured option/argument extraction with full fidelity
- Runtime introspection is unavailable (no access to the program object)
- The CLI uses a framework other than Commander (yargs, oclif, custom)
- You have both CLI surfaces (from introspection/help) and typed config interfaces (from TypeDoc)
- You want JSDoc @useWhen/@avoidWhen/@never tags to appear on CLI options in the generated skill
- You have a Commander program and want to generate a skill from its command structure
- You have raw --help output and no runtime access to the program object
Avoid when:
- Your CLI uses yargs, oclif, or another framework — use parseHelpOutput as a fallback instead
- Your CLI is built with a framework other than Commander — use parseHelpOutput directly instead
- API surface: 4 functions
NEVER
- NEVER pass both
programandhelpTexts— program takes precedence and helpTexts is silently ignored - NEVER forget to pass configSurfaces when you have typed option interfaces — JSDoc metadata won't be correlated
Configuration
CliExtractionOptions (4 options — see references/config.md)
Quick Reference
Commander: introspectCommander
Fallback: parseHelpOutput
Correlation: correlateFlags
Extraction: extractCliSkill

What ships with it
2 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.

skillit-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository pradeepmouli/skillit (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 411 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
