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

skill-installer 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/install-skill-from-github.py, scripts/list-curated-skills.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Skill Installer

Helps install skills. By default these are from https://github.com/openai/skills/tree/main/skills/.curated, but users can also provide other locations.

Use the helper scripts based on the task:

  • List curated skills when the user asks what is available, or if the user uses this skill without specifying what to do.
  • Install from the curated list when the user provides a skill name.
  • Install from another repo when the user provides a GitHub repo/path (including private repos).

Install skills with the helper scripts.

Communication

  • Start by confirming the task and running the appropriate command.
  • If something fails, report the exact error and ask what to do next.
  • Say only what is necessary.

Scripts

List Curated Skills

Show available skills from the curated list:

scripts/list-curated-skills.py

Optional: specify a different repo or path:

scripts/list-curated-skills.py --repo owner/repo --path skills/path --ref branch

Output formats:

  • Default: numbered list with installation status
  • JSON: --format json for programmatic use

Install from Curated List

Install a skill by name from the curated list:

scripts/install-skill-from-github.py <skill-name>

The skill will be installed to ~/.agents/skills/<skill-name>/.

Install from Any GitHub Repo

Install skills from any GitHub repository:

scripts/install-skill-from-github.py owner/repo path/to/skill

For private repos, ensure gh CLI is authenticated or GITHUB_TOKEN is set.

Install multiple skills from the same repo:

scripts/install-skill-from-github.py owner/repo path/to/skill1 path/to/skill2

Behavior and Options

Installation Location

Skills are installed to ~/.agents/skills/ by default.

Private Repositories

For private repositories:

  1. Ensure GitHub CLI (gh) is installed and authenticated: gh auth login
  2. Or set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable

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.

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.
