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.

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 | $0.00051 | $0.00803 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00321 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00161 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00080 |
Grade C, and why
initialize-config scanned grade C 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 1mo 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.
Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration
Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

Initialize Skene Configuration
Set up Skene automatically. The user runs /skene-init, everything gets configured, and they see a one-line summary. Zero questions unless something is genuinely missing and cannot be inferred.
Config reference: Configuration guide.
Design principle
Make init invisible. Detect everything from existing config, env vars, and user-level config. Only ask the user if the agent truly cannot figure it out (e.g. API key missing everywhere).
Steps
-
Discover CLI options Run
uvx skene config --helpto see what flags are available. Use only flags that appear in the output. -
Check what already exists (run in parallel where possible):
ls .skene.config 2>/dev/null— project configls ~/.config/skene/config 2>/dev/null— user-level configecho n | uvx skene config --show— full resolved config (piped to avoid blocking)printenv SKENE_API_KEY SKENE_PROVIDER 2>/dev/null— env vars
-
Decide what to do (no user interaction needed):
Case A — Config exists and is valid (provider set, API key present, provider/model match): Done. Report summary.
Case B — Config exists but has issues (provider/model mismatch, missing API key, etc.): Fix what you can automatically:
- Provider/model mismatch → update
.skene.configwith correct defaults. - API key missing from file but
SKENE_API_KEYin env → fine, note it. - API key missing everywhere → ask user: "Set
SKENE_API_KEYin your environment, then re-run/skene-init."
Case C — No config at all:
- Run
uvx skene config --init(check --help first to confirm this flag exists). - If that fails with permission error, write
.skene.configTOML directly. - Infer provider from env vars or default to
openai. - Validate with
echo n | uvx skene config --show.
- Provider/model mismatch → update
-
Final validation
echo n | uvx skene config --showConfirm provider, model, API key. If good, report.
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.

initialize-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository SkeneTechnologies/skene (126 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 803 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (harvests environment variables). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
