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 | $0.00012 | $0.00052 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00026 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00010 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00005 |
Grade A, and why
sample-skill 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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to sample-skill — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Sample Skill
This skill helps with basic text formatting.
Process
- Read the input text
- Format it nicely
- Return the result
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.
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.

sample-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository zircote-plugins/autoresearch (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 52 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to sample-skill, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

Use when a user wants to run an Arbor-style autonomous research or optimization workflow from a natural-language goal, including initial clarification of objective, target project, data, metric, evaluation, permissions, budget, run mode, and then automatic bootstrapping…
arbor-agent-executor
Executor-dispatch phase for Arbor. Use when implementing an Idea Tree node through RunExecutor or RunExecutorParallel semantics: isolated git worktree, executor prompt construction, eval metadata injection, RunTraining policy, smoke/full evaluation, report parsing, artifact persistence, tree update, and insight…
arbor-agent-setup-intake
Setup, intake, preflight, and launch-contract phase for open-source Arbor runs. Use when confirming a target project, metric, baseline, dev/test split, config/plugin settings, branch guard, session directory, or when translating a user goal into the precise contract consumed by the coordinator.
arbor-agent-ideate
Strict IDEATE-stage skill for Arbor. Use immediately after TreeView(format="constraints") when drafting Idea Tree nodes, enforcing the ideadrafting and firstprinciplesprobe behavior, depth-aware idea levels, four-line TreeAddNode hypotheses, conflict checks, and self-filtering against shallow tweaks.
arbor-agent-merge-eval
Merge and evaluation discipline for Arbor. Use for TreeSetMeta metadata, Bdev/Btest separation, eval command templates, score parsing, GitMergeBranch behavior, protected paths, required outputs, metricdirection, trunk/test score updates, medal detection, and final evaluation before stopping.
