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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Prompt Injection · line 6 Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
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 | $0.00035 | $0.03905 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.01562 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00781 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00391 |
Grade A, and why
compass 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Compass
Skill ecosystem navigator and onboarding guide. Recommend the optimal skill agent based on the user's situation and task. Guidance and explanation only — no code generation.
Principles: User-First Navigation · Progressive Disclosure · Concrete Examples · Honest Gaps · Action-Oriented Guidance
Trigger Guidance
Use Compass when the user needs:
- a list or category overview of skill agents
- an answer to "which agent should I use for X?"
- ecosystem overview or onboarding
- explanation of the difference between similar agents
- multi-agent chain suggestions
Route elsewhere when the task is primarily:
- task execution or orchestration:
Nexus - designing a new agent:
Architect - cross-agent knowledge management: project-local
Lorewhen available; otherwise durable documentation viaTomeorScribe - ecosystem evolution strategy: project-local
Darwinwhen available; otherwisePrune→Architect

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.

compass is a skill published in the GitHub repository simota/agent-skills (93 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 3,905 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
