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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00014 | $0.00532 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00266 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00106 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
skill-index 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 3d 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
Skill Index Generator
Scope guard: This skill is not available in LITE scope projects. LITE scope does not support skills or knowledge bundles. If the target project's AGENTS.md contains
agentfs-scope: lite, refuse with a clear message.
Regenerate index.md for a skills directory by scanning all SKILL.md files.
Skill Location Selection
| User signal | Skills root used |
|---|---|
| (no hint) — "refresh skill index", "index skills" | USER: ~/.agents/skills/ |
| "project skills", "index for project", "local skills" | PROJECT: ./.agents/skills/ |
| Explicit path provided | Use the provided path as-is |
Default to USER. Only use ./.agents/skills/ when the user
specifically calls out project scope.
Steps
- Resolve the skills root — apply location selection rules above.
- Run the canonical index generator:
python3 ~/.agents/skills/agentfs-setup/scripts/regen-skill-index.py <skills_root> - Report — show output (skill count, warnings) to user.
What the script does
- Scans each immediate subdirectory for
SKILL.md - Extracts
name,description,metadata.tagsfrom YAML frontmatter (supports multi-line scalars>,|) - Falls back to first paragraph line if no frontmatter
- Validates: name-directory consistency,
metadata.versionpresence, legacymetadata.signalsabsence - Generates
index.mdsorted reverse-chronologically (newest first) - Exit 0 = clean, exit 1 = warnings found
Verification
-
index.mdexists at the skills root - Every subdirectory with
SKILL.mdhas a corresponding row - Each link resolves to the correct
SKILL.md - Rows sorted newest-first
- No name-mismatch or missing-version warnings
Changelog
See CHANGELOG.md for version history.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

skill-index is a skill published in the GitHub repository rhtevan/agentfs (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 532 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 2026-08-31.
