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 | $0.00068 | $0.00751 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00376 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00150 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
glab-variable 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.

glab variable
Overview
Variables store configuration and secrets used by CI/CD pipelines.
Each subcommand acts on the current project by default. Use
`--group` to manage a group's variables instead.
USAGE
glab variable [command] [--flags]
COMMANDS
delete <key> [--flags] Delete a variable for a project or group.
export [--flags] Export variables from a project or group.
get <key> [--flags] Get a variable for a project or group.
import [--flags] Import variables from a JSON file or standard input.
list [--flags] List variables for a project or group.
set <key> <value> [--flags] Create a new variable for a project or group.
update <key> <value> [--flags] Update an existing variable for a project or group.
FLAGS
-h --help Show help for this command.
-R --repo Select another repository. Can use either `OWNER/REPO` or `GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO` format. Also accepts full URL or Git URL.
Quick start
glab variable --help
Export and import variables
glab variable import consumes the same JSON array shape emitted by glab variable export --output json. It reads standard input by default or a file passed with --input-file / -i.
# Preview and preserve an export before importing it elsewhere
glab variable export --output json > variables.json
glab variable import --input-file variables.json -R group/target-project
# Pipe between groups
glab variable export --group source-group |
glab variable import --group target-group
# Continue when target variables already exist
glab variable import --input-file variables.json --skip-existing
Import stops when a target variable already exists unless --skip-existing is set. Hidden variable values are omitted from exports, so those entries are skipped with a warning during import; recreate their values explicitly with glab variable set --hidden from an approved secret source. Treat export files as sensitive, keep them out of version control, and verify the target project or group before importing.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

glab-variable is a skill published in the GitHub repository vince-winkintel/gitlab-cli-skills (46 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 751 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 2026-08-30.
