Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00109 | $0.01120 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00560 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00224 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
hoist 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 10d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pick ONE tagline at random — vary your choice each time.
CRITICAL: Reproduce the banner EXACTLY character-for-character, including the diagonal / glyph before the name.

Output Formatting
(Input box, Pre-flight table, stage headers, status icons — copy the conventions from skills/dock/SKILL.md.)
Pre-flight
6-column dependency table: git (required, stop), gh (optional for GitHub release ops), sync (optional skill, fallback git pull), node/language toolchain (optional, detected). Follow the resolution-strategy list format used by other skills.
Platform Detection
Detect github vs azdo from the remote URL (same block as skills/dock/SKILL.md).
Phase 0: Sync
Invoke /sync (fallback git pull).
Phase 1: Detection
Explore subagent using references/interview-guide.md#detection-prompt → DETECTION_REPORT.
Phase 2: Interview
Follow references/interview-guide.md#interview-questions. Compile HOIST_CONFIG (target, registry/host, trigger model, approval gate, signing).
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.

hoist is a skill published in the GitHub repository slamb2k/mad-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 1,120 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
