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

skill-publisher 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/publish_skill.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Prerequisites

  1. Skill Key - Get your key at https://skillscatalog.ai/settings/skill-keys
  2. Valid Skill - Your skill must pass validation (run skill-validator first)
  3. Safety Scan - Skills are automatically scanned before submission

How to Use

Submit a skill for publication:

Submit the skill at /path/to/my-skill for publication

Specify a target catalog:

python3 publish_skill.py /path/to/my-skill --catalog public

Workflow

  1. Validate - Checks SKILL.md frontmatter and structure
  2. Scan - Runs safety scan for secrets and dangerous code
  3. Submit - Sends skill to the API for review
  4. Review - Wait for catalog maintainer approval

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
