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 | 54 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 2,525 tok |
| Only if opened | No bundled files | — |
Until it is used, paperclip-distill costs about 25× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 82 skills from paperclipai/paperclip would load 3,485 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
