OpenViking is an open-source context database for AI agents that stores memories, resources, and skills in a browsable virtual filesystem. Agents use it to find and load relevant context in layers while inspecting how retrieval decisions were made.
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.

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 | $0.00044 | $0.00388 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00155 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
github 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 1mo 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.

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.

github is a skill published in the GitHub repository volcengine/OpenViking (40,015 stars, last pushed today), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 388 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
wiki
Decision-sensitive repository knowledge retrieval, authoring, maintenance, and trust audits using wiki-manager when available or an explicit local-file fallback. Use when repository knowledge could change a non-trivial decision or when the user mentions wiki, knowledge base, packets, schema reports, or wiki tools.
gsd-forensics
Post-mortem investigation for failed GSD workflows — analyzes git history, artifacts, and state to diagnose what went wrong.
gsd-new-workspace
Create an isolated workspace with repo copies and independent .planning/.
gsd-quick
Execute a quick task with GSD guarantees (atomic commits, state tracking) but skip optional agents.
gsd-pr-branch
Create a clean PR branch by filtering out .planning/ commits — ready for code review.
gsd-remove-workspace
Remove a GSD workspace and clean up worktrees.
