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 | $0.00046 | $0.04655 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.02328 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00931 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00466 |
Grade A, and why
skill-creator 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.

The repository is licensed CC-BY-4.0, which this catalogue does not treat as permission to reproduce the file. Read it at the source.
What ships with it
8 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.

Other skills, from other repositories
book-to-skill
Converts books and documents (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, plain text, RTF, MOBI/AZW with Calibre) into structured agent skills, extracting frameworks, mental models, principles, techniques, and anti-patterns. Use when the user wants to study a document through GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, Claude Code, or Hermes…
llm-wiki
Build and maintain a persistent, interlinked Obsidian-compatible markdown wiki using Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. Extension-backed with auto-generated metadata, guardrails, and 14 custom tools (+3 opt-in agent-trajectory tools).
deeprefine
Agent-native DeepRefine refinement loop — same control flow as DeepRefine.refine(), graphify search instead of FAISS, session LLM, dry-run review before approved graph writes.

deeprefine
Claude Code adapter for the DeepRefine agent-native refinement loop. Use when the user invokes /deeprefine, or asks to refine, diagnose, review, or apply changes to a Graphify / LLM-Wiki knowledge graph. Must follow the canonical DeepRefine skill rules and stop for review before graph writes.
mindbase
Maintain a persistent AI-tended research wiki. Activates when the user wants to ingest a source (PDF, URL, article, paste), capture a thought, build the wiki context, query what's already known, lint for orphans/contradictions, or maintain page conventions. Phrases include "add this to my wiki", "today I decided…"…
