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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00023 | $0.00499 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00249 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00100 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
suggesting-skills 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 13d 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.
What it actually says
Suggesting Skills
Watch for moments where the user is working on something that an existing skill would make easier. Suggest it when the timing is natural.
Triggers
Suggest a skill when:
- The user asks how to do something a skill covers (e.g. "how do I add Sentry?" →
adding-error-tracking) - The user is struggling with a task and a skill has a proven workflow for it
- You notice the project is missing something a skill could set up (e.g. no tests, no CI)
- The user is manually doing something a Cursor-native skill automates
How to Suggest
Keep it brief and contextual:
There's a skill for that — `adding-error-tracking` handles Sentry
setup with source maps and performance monitoring. Want me to use it?
Or when you notice a gap:
This project doesn't have CI set up. The `setting-up-ci` skill can
scaffold a GitHub Actions pipeline with lint, test, and build steps.
Want me to set that up?
Skill Reference
| User is doing... | Suggest... |
|---|---|
| Adding analytics | adding-analytics |
| Setting up auth | adding-auth |
| Adding payments | adding-stripe |
| Writing tests from scratch | writing-tests, adding-e2e-tests |
| Debugging a hard bug | systematic-debugging |
| Creating a PR | creating-pr |
| Dockerizing | adding-docker |
| Setting up CI | setting-up-ci |
| Reviewing code quality | reviewing-code |
| Checking security | auditing-security |
| Building a mobile app | react-native-patterns |
| Working with LLM prompts | prompt-engineering |
| Designing a database | database-design |
Rules
- Don't spam skill suggestions — one per conversation unless asked
- Only suggest when the timing is natural (user is about to do the thing, not mid-task)
- If the user declines, don't suggest the same skill again
- Mention how to install: copy the
SKILL.mdto.cursor/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
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.

suggesting-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills (772 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 499 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
