What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 38 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 2,049 tok |
| Only if opened | 3 bundled files (17 KB) | varies |
Until it is used, competitive-research-snapshot costs about 36× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 77 skills from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills would load 2,883 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
