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

skill-installation-support 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 1mo 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.

Skill Installation Support

Goal

Help users install, list, update, remove, and troubleshoot Agent Skills with clear commands and safe distinctions between local, global, and agent-specific installation.

When to use

  • The user asks how to install a skills repo or one skill.
  • npx skills@latest add fails or does not discover expected skills.
  • The user asks about Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or all-agent installation targets.

When not to use

  • The user wants to create or review a skill; use skill-authoring-review.
  • The user wants to maintain this repository's catalog or release state; use skill-repo-curator.
  • The source skill has unclear provenance or license and should not be installed yet.

Inputs

  • Repository path or GitHub owner/repo.
  • Desired skill name, target agent, and global or project install preference.
  • Error output from npx skills@latest.
  • Local skills/ tree and SKILL.md frontmatter when troubleshooting discovery.

Inputs to inspect

  • Inspect the source path or repository, requested skill name, target agent, global/project scope, and CLI error output.
  • Check SKILL.md names and descriptions when discovery fails.

Process

  1. Identify source: local folder, GitHub repo, full Git URL, or specific skill.
  2. List skills before installing when the source is unfamiliar.
  3. Choose global or project install based on the user's scope.
  4. Choose target agent flag based on the user's runtime.
  5. Troubleshoot discovery by checking folder structure, SKILL.md, name matching, and CLI output.
  6. Avoid global installation or overwrites without user approval.

Workflow

Follow the process above, then return a copy-pasteable command plus a verification command before suggesting any global install.

Decision points

  • Use --list before installation for unfamiliar repos.
  • Use --skill <name> when installing one skill from a multi-skill repo.
  • Use --all only when the user wants all supported agents.
  • Prefer local folder install for testing unpublished repos.

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.
