About the project

Agentic Plugin Marketplace is a collection of reusable plugins, agents, skills, commands, and rules for coding-agent tools including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot. It is for developers assembling agentic workflows across multiple harnesses from shared Markdown sources, and the catalogue entries are examples or subsets of those workflow components.

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

data-storytelling 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 4d 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 it actually says

Data Storytelling

Transform raw data into compelling narratives that drive decisions and inspire action.

When to Use This Skill

  • Presenting analytics to executives
  • Creating quarterly business reviews
  • Building investor presentations
  • Writing data-driven reports
  • Communicating insights to non-technical audiences
  • Making recommendations based on data

Core Concepts

1. Story Structure

Setup → Conflict → Resolution

Setup: Context and baseline
Conflict: The problem or opportunity
Resolution: Insights and recommendations

2. Narrative Arc

1. Hook: Grab attention with surprising insight
2. Context: Establish the baseline
3. Rising Action: Build through data points
4. Climax: The key insight
5. Resolution: Recommendations
6. Call to Action: Next steps

3. Three Pillars

Pillar Purpose Components
Data Evidence Numbers, trends, comparisons
Narrative Meaning Context, causation, implications
Visuals Clarity Charts, diagrams, highlights

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Do's

  • Start with the "so what" - Lead with insight
  • Use the rule of three - Three points, three comparisons
  • Show, don't tell - Let data speak
  • Make it personal - Connect to audience goals
  • End with action - Clear next steps

Don'ts

  • Don't data dump - Curate ruthlessly
  • Don't bury the insight - Front-load key findings
  • Don't use jargon - Match audience vocabulary
  • Don't show methodology first - Context, then method
  • Don't forget the narrative - Numbers need meaning

What ships with it

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.
