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 | $0.00030 | $0.00424 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00170 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00085 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00042 |
Grade C, and why
communication scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d 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.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Project Instructions
Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.
Communication
Scope
Use this package for messages to a person. Agent-to-agent messages, literal return formats, tool prompts, documentation and text sent as the user follow their own owners. The caller owns authority, delivery and report schedules.
Reading routes
Read messages before every message. Add only the reference the task needs:
| Task | Read |
|---|---|
| Request a decision or action | questions |
| Write a report, briefing, work-item description, comment or completion summary | reports |
| Answer a voice request | voice |
User instruction
For a global install, put this writing reference in the user-scope instruction file:
Before writing a message to a person, read `$HOME/.agents/skills/communication/SKILL.md`.
For a project install, put this writing reference in the project-scope instruction file. The path is relative to the project root:
Before writing a message to a person, read `.agents/skills/communication/SKILL.md`.
What ships with it
4 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.

communication is a skill published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 424 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-19.
Other skills, from other repositories
prose-review
Review prose written for others (e.g., user-facing documentation, prompts for other LLMs, reports, plans, inline comments, docstrings) for local jargon leakage, orphaned references, missing grounding, and audience or genre mismatch. Always run on prose you produce or materially edit, except for routine conversational…
text-search
Search indexed text corpora with qmd. For indexed content, prefer qmd over grep.
rp
Always read this skill when the user mentions "rp" or "repoprompt", or before accessing a repository outside the current RepoPrompt workspace. Covers workspace discovery, binding, root verification, and workspace hygiene.
claude-md-improver
Audit and improve existing CLAUDE.md files across a repository. Use for a deliberate, repo-wide quality review—not to record learnings from the current session.
claude-md-revision
Record durable, project-specific learnings from the current session in CLAUDE.md, .claude.local.md, or AGENTS.md—not general documentation, session summaries, or repo-wide audits.
gather-retrospectives
Gather retrospective feedback from past Pi sessions about a package, tool, or workflow. Use for historical retros and recurring friction, not assessment of only the current session.
