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

glab-skills 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 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.

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.

  Skills follow the Agent Skills specification and work with
  any compatible agent, including GitLab Duo Agent Platform, Claude Code, Codex,
  and Gemini CLI.

  This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use.
  It might be unstable or removed at any time.

    glab skills <command> [command] [--flags]

  COMMANDS

    install [name] [--flags]  Install glab's bundled agent skills. (EXPERIMENTAL)

    update [name] [--flags]   Update installed agent skills to the current shipped version. (EXPERIMENTAL)

  FLAGS

    -h --help                 Show help for this command.

⚠️ Experimental Feature

glab skills is marked EXPERIMENTAL upstream:

  • command shape and functionality may change
  • skill bundle format is not yet stable
  • availability may vary by glab version
  • use for exploration and prototyping, not production workflows

See: https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/

Quick start

# View available skills commands
glab skills --help

# Install bundled agent skills
glab skills install

# List bundled skills
glab skills list

# Update installed bundled skills to the current glab-shipped version
glab skills update

Common workflows

Installing, listing, and updating bundled skills

# Install agent skills interactively
glab skills install

# Install a named bundled skill when supported by the shipped catalog
glab skills install <name>

# List available bundled skills
glab skills list

# Update all installed bundled skills
glab skills update

# Update one installed bundled skill
glab skills update <name>

The install command sets up pre-packaged skill bundles designed to extend glab capabilities for automation and AI agent workflows. Newer glab versions also notify when installed bundled skills have updates available; use glab skills update to refresh them to the current version shipped with the installed CLI.

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.
