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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00040 | $0.04048 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.02024 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00810 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00405 |
Grade B, and why
ai-coding-agents-release-distribution scanned grade B 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 12d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

AI Coding Agents Release And Distribution
Use this skill to design or review how a coding-agent CLI ships and evolves: packaging, install channels, auto-update policy, plugin compatibility, cache versioning, migration strategy, and local footprint management.
This skill covers the productization layer that matters once the runtime itself already exists.

When To Use
- Design packaging and distribution for a coding-agent CLI
- Add auto-update channels or controlled rollout strategy
- Review plugin compatibility and extension version policy
- Model local caches, migration safety, or install footprint changes
- Decide how release engineering should handle breaking runtime changes

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.

ai-coding-agents-release-distribution is a skill published in the GitHub repository vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public (87 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 4,048 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
