Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 5.1 | $0.00093 | $0.02874 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.01150 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00575 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00287 |
Grade A, and why
skill-bootstrap 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill Bootstrap
Build the few project workflows that change the next useful action. Reuse before you author. Evidence before you write. Report what you did not measure.
A workflow skill is a short, project-specific route to an accepted
outcome: an accepted fix, a correctly unblocked PR, a verified release
candidate. This skill finds where agents lose time or get corrected in one
repository, then has skillforge write the shortcuts. It creates no friction
ledger, registry, or per-fact database. Installing this skill does nothing;
only an explicit request starts a run.

When Not To Use
| Request | Route |
|---|---|
| Create or improve one skill | skillforge |
| Save a workflow you just finished as a skill | skillify |
| Improve a skill against a scored eval set | skillopt |
| Decide placement or compress a skill without an eval | context-optimizer |
| Scaffold README or architecture templates | codebase-documenter |
| Refresh an existing workflow library | This skill, with each changed skill passed as --update |

What ships with it
4 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.

skill-bootstrap is a skill published in the GitHub repository rjmurillo/ai-agents (48 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 2,874 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-10-15.
