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 | $0.00066 | $0.00726 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00363 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
hr-retained-search 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 9d 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Retained search
Manage retained search engagements end-to-end — from client agreement and search kickoff through milestone-based delivery, candidate slate presentation, and close — for senior and hard-to-fill roles.
Supported tasks
- Structuring a retained search engagement and fee/milestone agreement
- Running a search kickoff meeting to align on role, culture fit, and process
- Building candidate longlists and shortlists against a retained search brief
- Preparing candidate slate presentations for the client or hiring committee
- Managing search timeline milestones (research, longlist, shortlist, offer)
- Communicating search progress and setbacks to the client transparently
- Handling confidential searches where the client identity is not disclosed upfront
- Negotiating and closing offers on behalf of a retained search client
- Managing candidate withdrawal or client scope changes mid-search
- Documenting search process for guarantee/replacement terms
- Differentiating retained search value from contingent recruiting to prospective clients
- Building post-placement check-in cadence to protect the guarantee period
Key prompts
Engagement structure
- "Draft a retained search engagement outline with milestone-based fee structure for a [role] search."
- "What should be covered in a search kickoff meeting with the client for a retained [role] search?"
- "Write client-facing language explaining what differentiates retained search from contingent recruiting."
- "Draft a scope-of-work document defining deliverables, timeline, and exclusivity terms for a retained search engagement."
Running the search
- "Build a candidate longlist-to-shortlist process for a retained search on [role], including research and vetting steps."
- "Draft a candidate slate presentation summarizing 3 to 5 shortlisted candidates for [role] with comparative strengths."
- "How should I communicate a search setback (thin market, candidate withdrawal) to the client without losing confidence?"
- "Design a weekly status update format that keeps the client informed without overwhelming them with detail."
What ships with it
3 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.

hr-retained-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository tuanductran/hr-skills (58 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 726 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
