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

intermediate-example 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/demo.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.

What it actually says

Intermediate Example Skill

This skill demonstrates more comprehensive metadata usage and includes example files in an examples/ subdirectory.

Features

  • Version tracking: Semantic versioning
  • Authorship: Author and date information
  • Categorization: Tags and category for organization
  • Complexity: Indicates skill difficulty level
  • Examples: Reference example files in the skill folder

Folder Structure

intermediate-example/
├── SKILL.md              ← This file
└── examples/             ← Optional examples folder
    └── demo.py           ← Example Python script

Metadata Fields

Required

  • name: Unique identifier
  • description: Brief description

Optional (shown in this skill)

  • version: Semantic version
  • author: Skill creator
  • created, updated: ISO dates
  • category: Main category
  • tags: List of tags for searching
  • complexity: beginner, intermediate, or advanced
  • has_examples: Boolean flag
  • example_files: Paths relative to skill folder

Using Examples

The examples/demo.py file shows a simple Python script that demonstrates the concept. You can reference these files in your skill documentation.

Best Practices

  1. Use semantic versioning for the version field
  2. Keep tags relevant and lowercase
  3. Set appropriate complexity to help users find suitable skills
  4. List all example files in the frontmatter
  5. Organize examples in subdirectories

Next Steps

Check out the advanced-example skill for even more metadata fields and a more complex folder structure with templates!

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
