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

skills-installer 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 2mo 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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skills Installer

Install LiveAgent skills into the fixed runtime root while preserving existing user data.

Workflow

  1. Determine the source type: ClawHub slug/search result, local skill directory, .zip or .skill archive, HTTP(S) download, or GitHub URL.
  2. Determine the target destination. Runtime installs always go through SkillsManager into LiveAgent's fixed user Skills root.
  3. For local workspace sources, pass workspace-relative paths such as ./my-skill or ./dist/my-skill.skill; LiveAgent resolves them against the current chat workspace before installing into the fixed skills root.
  4. Read references/install-sources.md and references/safety-and-conflicts.md through file tools before replacing anything. Use path="skill://skills-installer/references/install-sources.md" and path="skill://skills-installer/references/safety-and-conflicts.md", or use the exact pathRef returned by a prior tool.
  5. Use SkillsManager with action=list to inspect the skills enabled in the current conversation when conflict or inventory context matters.
  6. Use SkillsManager with action=clawhub_search to find ClawHub skills when the user asks to search the public store, then use action=clawhub_install with the returned slug to install from ClawHub.
  7. Use SkillsManager with action=install to import a direct local, archive, HTTP(S), or GitHub source. Prefer conflict=backup unless the user explicitly accepts replacement.
  8. After installation, the new skill is enabled for the current conversation automatically; ask LiveAgent to rescan skills or reopen the Skills menu only if the new skill does not appear immediately.

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.
