Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

refresh-my-skill 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 5d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Instructions

When the user invokes this skill, refresh the local Pocket Skill plugin registration. Do not pull, fetch, or update from remote. Use update-my-skill when the user wants to pull from origin/main first.

Tool Expectations

This workflow may use shell commands and git status checks.

All operations must happen from the pocketskill repository root. First locate it:

  • Use the current working directory if it contains plugins/my-skill/skills/ and install.sh.
  • Otherwise search upward from the current working directory.
  • If no root is found, ask the user for the pocketskill path and stop until they provide it.

Workflow

1. Preflight

  • Confirm install.sh exists.
  • If install.sh is not executable, run chmod +x install.sh.
  • If inside a git repository, run git status --short and note any existing changes. Do not require a clean tree; refresh is commonly used after local skill edits.

2. Refresh Local Plugin Registration

Run this from the pocketskill repository root:

./install.sh --yes --bump-plugin-version

This increments the my-skill plugin patch version, re-registers the local marketplace, exports the categorized source directories into a flat skills/<name>/SKILL.md plugin cache, and asks Claude Code / Codex plugin managers to refresh their installed library.

This skill must not run:

  • git fetch
  • git pull
  • git switch
  • git reset
  • any remote update command

3. Verify

  • Confirm plugins/my-skill/skills/ and its subdirectories (my-skills/, manage-skills/, private-skills/) still exist.
  • Confirm the refreshed Claude Code / Codex cache contains flat paths such as skills/create-skill/SKILL.md, not only skills/manage-skills/create-skill/SKILL.md.
  • If inside a git repository, run git status --short --branch.
  • If plugin manifest files changed because the version was bumped, report that clearly.

Do not promise hot reload for the current running conversation. If the refreshed skill list is not visible immediately, tell the user to open a new session or restart the tool. General agents can use any skill immediately by reading the relevant SKILL.md file.

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.
