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 | $0.00107 | $0.01397 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00043 | $0.00559 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00279 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
glab 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 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.
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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitLab CLI (glab)
Official CLI for GitLab. Manage issues, merge requests, pipelines, and more from the terminal.
Source: Inspired by NikiforovAll/glab-skill on Smithery.
⚠️ Security Notice
The glab api command provides unrestricted GitLab API access with your token.
- A compromised or overly-permissive token can delete projects, modify settings, expose secrets
- Recommendation: Use tokens with minimal scopes:
read_api- Read-only operationsapi- Full access (only when write operations needed)
- For automation, consider project-level tokens with limited scope
- Never use tokens with
sudoscope unless required
Prerequisites
Required binaries:
glab- GitLab CLIjq- JSON processor (for scripts and API parsing)
Required credentials:
GITLAB_TOKEN- GitLab personal access token
Optional configuration:
GITLAB_HOST- Self-hosted GitLab instance (default: gitlab.com)
# Verify installation
glab --version
jq --version
# Authenticate (interactive)
glab auth login
# Or via environment
export GITLAB_TOKEN="glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
export GITLAB_HOST="gitlab.example.org" # for self-hosted
# Verify auth
glab auth status
Quick Reference
Merge Requests:
glab mr create --title "Fix" --description "Closes #123"
glab mr list --reviewer=@me # MRs awaiting your review
glab mr checkout 123 # Test MR locally
glab mr approve 123 && glab mr merge 123
Issues:
glab issue create --title "Bug" --label=bug
glab issue list --assignee=@me
glab issue close 456
CI/CD:
glab ci status # Current pipeline status
glab pipeline ci view # Watch pipeline live
glab ci lint # Validate .gitlab-ci.yml
glab ci retry # Retry failed pipeline
Working Outside Repo:
glab mr list -R owner/repo # Specify repository
What ships with it
5 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.
