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 | $0.00063 | $0.02544 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01272 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00509 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00254 |
Grade A, and why
create-oss-skill 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 3d 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 — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Definition of World-Class
DEFINITION OF WORLD-CLASS (the bar): (1) discoverable+disambiguated by description alone (third-person, real keywords, explicit "Do NOT use for X; use " boundary, co-load relationships stated); (2) least-privilege tools derived from the body (read-only for advice/report skills; scoped Bash globs; report-only skills carry no Write); (3) orthogonal + single-owner (one job; every fact has one owning skill; portable core fenced from portfolio/host specifics); (4) eval-backed (evals/ with should-trigger/should-not-trigger near-misses + output evals on risky paths) -- evals are deferred this pass but state the intent.

Writing Effective Descriptions
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.

create-oss-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository urmzd/dotfiles (3 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,544 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
coding
Principles for writing and designing code, covering API and abstraction design, naming, comment discipline, and standards of evidence for claims about code behavior. Use whenever the task is to write or modify code, design an API or software architecture, or review code.
review-code
Standalone code review for any scope — PR number, branch, file paths, or current changes. Synthesizes intent, runs 10 parallel specialized agents, and presents actionable findings with a verdict. For PR scope, optionally posts the review to GitHub with inline comments.
review-prs
Fetch and present a prioritized summary of all PRs awaiting the current user's review across the relevant projects and provide an interactive workflow helping the user phrase and post inline review comments and overall review decisions.
review-converge
Autonomously review and fix the current branch or specified scope in iterative rounds until clean, leaving all changes in the working tree. Escalates only genuine design decisions. Ends with a transparent report of every round, every fix, and anything it couldn't resolve — persisted to .outputs/.
review-pr-comments-converge
Fetch PR review comments, validate each against the actual code, auto-fix obvious issues, and escalate genuine design decisions. Leaves all changes in the working tree. Use when you want to action reviewer feedback autonomously.
