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 5.1 | $0.00054 | $0.01272 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00509 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00254 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
xops-agent 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
XOps CLI operations
Perform host operations by running xops commands in the Agent's command environment. This skill works independently of MCP: it requires the CLI and its SSH configuration, not an MCP connection or MCP tool calls.
Start with the execution environment
- Run
xops --versionand the relevantxops <command> --help. Installed versions may differ from this reference. If the executable is missing, use the installation guide. Do not reinitialize an existing setup as a diagnostic step. - Identify where the command runs. Local paths, SSH keys, configuration, listeners, and downloads belong to that machine or container; they may not belong to the user's desktop. Default configuration is
~/.xops/xops_config.yaml; an existingXOPS_CONFIG_DIRcan select another configuration directory. - Resolve the requested hosts with
xops host listorxops host list --tag TAG. Match node IDs, aliases, users, ports, and jump hosts before a batch operation. Forexecandscp,--host,--ifile/-I, and--tagare mutually exclusive; choose one selector and use--excludeto narrow it. Preserve the user's intended target set. - Prepare trusted SSH host keys and credentials available to that process. Batch commands and Playbooks do not prompt for credential-store unlocks. Diagnose access with
xops credential doctor; do not replace vaults or disable host-key verification to make a command run.
Choose the command
Read only the reference relevant to the current task.
| Task | CLI workflow | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Discover hosts, manage aliases/tags, import CSV, edit identities or credentials | host, identity, credential, init |
Inventory and access |
| Run a remote command, use sudo, inspect services/logs, execute across a group | exec, exec --sudo, exec --tag |
Execution and Playbooks |
| Run a local script remotely or orchestrate a deployment | exec --shell, play |
Execution and Playbooks |
| Read/write/append text, list/create/copy/move/delete remote paths | exec with target-native commands, or batch sftp |
Files and transfers |
| Upload/download files and directories, relay between hosts, distribute to a tag | scp, batch sftp |
Files and transfers |
| Create, inspect, and stop SSH forwarding | ssh -L/-R/-D -N plus owned process/session tracking |
Tunnels and networking |
| Manage firewalls, check DNS/ICMP/TCP, use netcat or a local TCP/UDP relay | firewall, dns, ping, nc, forward |
Tunnels and networking |
| Interactive SSH/TUI, local privilege elevation, text encoding | ssh, exec -x, tui, sudo, encode |
Execution and Playbooks |
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

xops-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository wentf9/xops-cli (21 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,272 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 2026-08-31.
