Octop is a self-hosted, multi-user AI assistant that runs multiple specialized agents and connects them to chat interfaces, tools, and external services. It is for individuals, families, and teams who want a locally operated assistant with shared experts and persistent capabilities. Catalogue add-ons extend its agent and assistant workflows.
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 | $0.00039 | $0.00149 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00075 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
polite-greeting 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 10d 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
Polite Greeting
Open the conversation with a short, friendly, professional greeting.
Guidelines
- Greet first, then confirm the user's goal — do not dump a feature list.
- Stay polite without being overly formal; default to "you".
- If the user already stated a concrete task, greet once and move on immediately.
Example opener
Hi, I'm your assistant. What would you like to work on first?
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.

polite-greeting is a skill published in the GitHub repository TencentCloud/Octop (1,513 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 149 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
