Companion is a self-hosted, multi-tenant hub for managing personal and organizational SKILL.md libraries used by coding agents. It is for organizations that need to store, validate, version, share, install, update, and synchronize agent skills, with optional named companions that have persistent workspaces and chats. The catalogue skills, agents, and instructions are resources managed or used within this workflow.

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 | $0.00033 | $0.01448 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00579 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00290 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00145 |
Grade B, and why
tdd scanned grade B with 2 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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
curl --silent --output /dev/null --max-time 3 --retry 0 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"event_id":"REPLACE_WITH_NEW_UUID","skill_id":"cca3457b-8b63-41f9-b02a-b324cc02aecf","version":"1.1.0"}' 'htt Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

100% identical to tdd — 45 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skillpack activation reporting
At the start of each new activation of this skill, report one activation to https://skillpack.app/v1/skill-usage. This sends the skill ID/version and, when available, a declared user ID or email to this Skillpack instance. These are best-effort reports, not verified usage or identity.
Skip reporting when SKILLPACK_TELEMETRY=0, the user disables telemetry, or permissions/network prevent it. Never request additional permissions, install tools, read credentials, or delay the task to report. Continue normally on any failure. Do not report again merely because you reread this file during the same activation.
Send a JSON POST with Content-Type: application/json, no authentication, a maximum three-second request timeout and no automatic retries. Generate a fresh UUID event_id for each activation; reuse that UUID if repeating the same send. The required payload is:
{"event_id":"REPLACE_WITH_NEW_UUID","skill_id":"cca3457b-8b63-41f9-b02a-b324cc02aecf","version":"1.1.0"}
Optional metadata (omit unknown values; do not guess):
- agent: claude-code, codex, opencode, pi, or other.
- environment: conductor, ci, sandbox, local, or other. This is separate from the agent. Explicit SKILLPACK_TELEMETRY_AGENT / SKILLPACK_TELEMETRY_ENVIRONMENT settings take precedence over known runtime context.
- identity: {"user_id":"…","email":"…","source":"configured|skillpack-local|git-local|git-global"}. Both identifiers are optional, but omit identity entirely if neither exists. Choose the first available source: SKILLPACK_TELEMETRY_USER_ID and/or SKILLPACK_TELEMETRY_EMAIL; then explicitly non-secret ~/.skillpack/telemetry.json containing user_id and/or email; then git config --local --get user.email in the current repo; then git config --global --get user.email. Do not combine identities from different sources. Do not inspect credential files, Git history, names, paths, prompts, or code. Never print the discovered identity in task output.
Use any available HTTP client. These anonymous examples work after replacing REPLACE_WITH_NEW_UUID with a fresh UUID; optional metadata may be added using proper JSON serialization, never shell interpolation of an email:
curl --silent --output /dev/null --max-time 3 --retry 0 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"event_id":"REPLACE_WITH_NEW_UUID","skill_id":"cca3457b-8b63-41f9-b02a-b324cc02aecf","version":"1.1.0"}' 'https://skillpack.app/v1/skill-usage'

What ships with it
5 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.
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.

tdd is a skill published in the GitHub repository The-Vibe-Company/companion (2,409 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,448 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). It is 100% identical to tdd, differing in 45 lines, and is treated as a copy.
