What it does

Catalog Browse is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. Browse the community catalog for new skills, agent templates, and org templates. Discover what is available and recommend useful items to the user.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/catalog-browse”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Browse the catalog
  2. Review results
  3. Recommend to user
  4. Install (with approval)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f93838. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Catalog Browse loads about 462 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~462

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Catalog Browse

Discover new skills, agent templates, and org templates from the community catalog. Recommend useful items to the user and install with approval.

When to Run

  • Weekly cron (configured via cortextos bus add-cron)
  • When user asks about available skills
  • When an agent needs a capability that might exist in the catalog

Workflow

Step 1: Browse the catalog
bash
# Browse all items
RESULT=$(cortextos bus browse-catalog)

# Filter by type
RESULT=$(cortextos bus browse-catalog --type skill)

# Filter by tag
RESULT=$(cortextos bus browse-catalog --type skill --tag email)

# Search by keyword
RESULT=$(cortextos bus browse-catalog --search "content")
Step 2: Review results

The output includes:

  • Item name, description, author
  • Type (skill, agent, org)
  • Tags and dependencies
  • Whether already installed
Step 3: Recommend to user

For items that look useful:

  • Explain what the skill does
  • Which agent would benefit
  • Send recommendation via Telegram
Step 4: Install (with approval)
bash
# Dry run first
cortextos bus install-community-item <item-name> --dry-run

# Install after user approves
cortextos bus install-community-item <item-name>

Config

Requires ecosystem.catalog_browse.enabled: true in config.json.

Notes

  • The catalog is fetched during upstream sync (cortextos bus check-upstream) and lives at community/catalog.json in the framework root
  • Items are reviewed by the community before being listed
  • Always dry-run before installing
