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-creator 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.

About Skills

A Skill is a self-contained folder that gives the agent specialized knowledge, a workflow, or tools for one kind of task. Think of it as an onboarding guide: it turns a general-purpose agent into one equipped with procedural knowledge no model has on its own.

Skills provide:

  1. Workflows: multi-step procedures for a specific domain
  2. Tool integrations: how to work with specific file formats or APIs
  3. Domain expertise: schemas, conventions, business rules
  4. Bundled resources: scripts, references, and assets for repetitive work

Where Skills live

Scope Folder Notes
Personal ~/.emperor/skills/<name>/ Available in every session
Project <project>/.emperor/skills/<name>/ Build sessions of that project only; overrides a personal Skill with the same name
Built-in / Plugin shipped with Emperor or a Plugin Read-only

Create, update, delete, and import Skills only with skill_manage. These folders are outside the writable workspace, so file and shell tools cannot write them; skill_manage asks the user for approval unless the session runs with full access. To change a built-in or Plugin Skill, create a personal Skill with the same name; it takes precedence.

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.
