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.

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 | $0.00096 | $0.00621 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00311 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
rewrite-descriptions 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 2d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rewrite descriptions
Given a collision pair, produce a concrete description rewrite proposal for each side. The output is a Markdown file with before/after blocks the user copies into the SKILL.md files manually.
Inputs
{{ pair }}— eitherskill-a,skill-bor a single skill name. If single, readplugin-gardener/audit/for the latestcollisions.mdand pick the top unresolved collision involving that skill.
How it works
- Resolve each skill path. Read both SKILL.md files and capture the current
description+ optionalwhen_to_use. - Apply the rewriting patterns in
references/rewriting-patterns.md. Every rewrite must:- Keep each description under 1,024 characters (hard Anthropic cap).
- Combined
description + when_to_useunder 1,536 characters (skill listing cap). - Add a negative discriminator on each side that points at the other:
Do NOT use when the user mentions [sibling-domain-term]. - Use third-person voice, positive imperatives, one motivation clause where non-obvious.
- Preserve the
Use when the user asks to …clause structure if it was already there.
- Write
plugin-gardener/audit/ad-hoc/rewrite-<skill-a>-vs-<skill-b>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.mdusingtemplates/proposal-skeleton.md. - Present the proposal inline so the user can copy-paste without opening the file.
What this does not do
- Edit SKILL.md.
- Commit changes.
- Regenerate SKILL.md bodies. Description-only changes; the skill content is untouched.
The user applies the rewrite manually. After applying, invoke /audit-skill <name> on both sides to confirm the collision is resolved.
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.
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.

rewrite-descriptions is a skill published in the GitHub repository theagenticguy/agentic-plugins (5 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 621 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
genesis
Use this skill BEFORE drafting any agentic primitive module (skill, persona scoping file, scope-attached rule file, orchestrator workflow) or when refactoring an existing one. Activate whenever the task asks to design, restructure, or critique an agentic module across any agent harness (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor…
genesis-evals
Use this skill to run the genesis maintainer-side eval suite against a target model (default: claude-opus-4.7). Activate when validating a genesis PR, when changing the genesis catalogue (architectural-patterns, primitives, design-patterns, refactor-patterns, composition-substrate, pattern-tradeoffs, SKILL.md), or…
agents
Guidance for AI coding agents working on the adeptability (adept) codebase. Humans: see README.md for usage and CONTRIBUTING.md for the contributor workflow.
using-adept
Use the adept CLI to author AI skills once and render them into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and OpenCode. Apply when installing/syncing skills, editing skill.yaml/SKILL.md, or touching .adeptability/.
authoring-adept-agents
Write a good, portable adept agent (subagent): trigger-shaped description, one job per agent, generator/evaluator separation, explicit boundaries, restricted tools. Apply when creating or editing an agent file or running adept agent add.
authoring-adept-loops
Compose a loop — a scheduled system that discovers work, hands it to agents, verifies with an independent evaluator, persists state, and reschedules itself. Apply when the user wants automation that runs on a timer, a triage/babysitter routine, or asks about adept loop add.
