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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00163 | $0.02120 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00081 | $0.01060 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00424 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00212 |
Grade A, and why
runpod-templates scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

Official Runpod templates
Prefer an official template over building an image. Runpod maintains prebuilt images for common workloads; deploying one is a create + poll, with no SSH install step. This skill is the reference for what those images actually are. It does not manage infrastructure — deploy with runpod-mcp (if connected) or runpodctl.
Terms — "template" vs the Hub
Two different products share the word "Hub", and conflating them derails discovery:
| Term | What it is | Runs as | Discover with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pod template (this skill) | A saved pod config — image + ports + disk + env. The official ones appear on Console Hub template pages (console.runpod.io/hub/template/<id>) |
a pod | runpodctl template list --type official / template search · REST GET /v2/catalog/templates |
| Hub repo / listing | A packaged serverless worker (e.g. runpod-workers/worker-comfyui) with a handler, deployed as an endpoint |
serverless | runpodctl hub list / hub search · MCP list-hub-repos / deploy-hub-repo |
Same word, disjoint catalogs: hub search comfyui returns only the serverless worker
and none of the official ComfyUI pod templates, and template search returns no
Hub repos. In the REST v2 catalog, pod vs serverless templates are told apart by each
entry's serverless flag.
What "official" means, and how to find them
A template is Runpod-maintained when it reports isRunpod: true. Anything else in search
results is community-published: usable, but not covered by this skill and not
version-guaranteed.
runpodctl template list --type official # the whole official set (14 as of 2026-08-25)
runpodctl template search <name> # by name; check isRunpod: true
runpodctl template get <template-id> # image, ports, portsConfig, disk + full readme
template get returns the template's readme — the description maintained alongside
the image, and the authoritative answer when it disagrees with this skill. Take image
tags, ports, and env from these commands, not from these files: the templates ship on
their own release train and move faster than this repo. The reference files record the
shape and the gotchas, which is the expensive part to rediscover.
What ships with it
23 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.
- 7d ago First seen · 139 lines · 163 tokens per session scan A 3e5791279132
runpod-templates is a skill published in the GitHub repository runpod/runpod-plugins-official (44 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 163 tokens to every session and 2,120 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
