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 | $0.00063 | $0.01400 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00700 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00280 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
socket-release 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 yesterday.
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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Socket Release Setup
Install the socket-release kit into the current repo and stand publishing up. Everything destructive is dry-run by default; the bootstrap prints the exact next command after every run, and every human moment renders as a 🖐 HUMAN GATE - stop and show it, never improvise around it.
When to Use
- Standing up publishing in a repo that has never released - reserving the package name, wiring the npm trusted publisher, restricting GitHub environments, and tightening publishing access to staged-only.
- Adding a new channel (npm, crates.io, GitHub releases, or a Homebrew tap) to a repo that already publishes on the others.
- Cutting a release once publishing is stood up: stage the artifact, then clear the human-gated approve before anything becomes public.
- Any time you want the staged-then-approve safety model - a verified, hashed artifact held behind a human gate - instead of a one-shot publish.
- Recovering or verifying an existing setup: re-run the bootstrap
verifyto confirm the trusted publisher, environments, and access are still conforming.
Each channel has its own subskill; this top-level skill installs the kit, runs the bootstrap, and points you at the right channel subskill for the actual publish.
Steps
-
Get the kit source. Shallow-clone sauce to the canonical clone home:
git clone --depth=1 --single-branch https://github.com/SocketDev/sauce.git ~/.socket/_wheelhouse/repo-clones/SocketDev-sauceDone when:
~/.socket/_wheelhouse/repo-clones/SocketDev-sauce/release-kit/install.mtsexists. -
Install the kit. Plan first, then apply with the channels this repo publishes on (
npm,crates,github-release,brew):node ~/.socket/_wheelhouse/repo-clones/SocketDev-sauce/release-kit/install.mts --target . --channels npm,github-release node ~/.socket/_wheelhouse/repo-clones/SocketDev-sauce/release-kit/install.mts --target . --channels npm,github-release --apply
What ships with it
4 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.

socket-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository SocketDev/sauce (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,400 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
