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 | $0.00020 | $0.00066 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00033 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00013 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00007 |
Grade A, and why
Cross-Encoder Reranking 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 9d 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
Cross-Encoder Reranking
Rerank retrieved candidates with a pairwise neural relevance model.
Use Cases
- Resolve similar skill descriptions.
- Improve top-choice ranking after embedding retrieval.
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.

Cross-Encoder Reranking is a skill published in the GitHub repository Raidriar7170/hermes-skilleval (123 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 66 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
rag-eval
NVIDIA RAG Blueprint evaluation guidance for measuring retrieval and answer quality with stable datasets, baselines, and reproducible scoring workflows.
vector-db-init
Interactively initializes the Vector DB plugin. Guided discovery asks which folders to index, confirms the manifest, then scaffolds vectorprofiles.json for high-performance In-Process or Native Server connections. Mandatory first step before ingestion or search.
vector-db-launch
Start the Native Python ChromaDB background server. Use when semantic search returns connection refused on port 8110, or when the user wants to enable concurrent agent read/writes.
obsidian-graph-traversal
Semantic link traversal for Obsidian Vaults. Builds an in-memory graph index from wikilinks and provides instant forward-link, backlink, and multi-degree connection queries. Use when exploring note relationships or finding orphaned notes.
vector-db-cleanup
Removes stale and orphaned chunks from the ChromaDB vector store for files that have been deleted or renamed. Use after files are removed or moved to keep the vector index in sync with the filesystem. user: "Clean up the vector store after I deleted some files" assistant: "I'll use vector-db-cleanup to remove orphaned…
vector-db-ingest
Ingests repository files into the ChromaDB vector store. Builds or updates the vector index from a manifest or directory scan using ingest.py. Use when new files need to be indexed or the vector store is out of date. user: "Index these new plugin files into the vector database" assistant: "I'll use vector-db-ingest to…
