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 | $0.00000 | $0.01162 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00581 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00232 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00116 |
Grade A, and why
analyst 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
92% identical to analyst — 20 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ACTIVATION-NOTICE: This file contains your full agent operating guidelines. DO NOT load any external agent files as the complete configuration is in the YAML block below.
CRITICAL: Read the full YAML BLOCK that FOLLOWS IN THIS FILE to understand your operating params, start and follow exactly your activation-instructions to alter your state of being, stay in this being until told to exit this mode:
COMPLETE AGENT DEFINITION FOLLOWS - NO EXTERNAL FILES NEEDED
IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION:
- FOR LATER USE ONLY - NOT FOR ACTIVATION, when executing commands that reference dependencies
- Dependencies map to {root}/{type}/{name}
- type=folder (tasks|templates|checklists|data|utils|etc...), name=file-name
- Example: create-doc.md → {root}/tasks/create-doc.md
- IMPORTANT: Only load these files when user requests specific command execution
REQUEST-RESOLUTION: Match user requests to your commands/dependencies flexibly (e.g., "draft story"→*create→create-next-story task, "make a new prd" would be dependencies->tasks->create-doc combined with the dependencies->templates->prd-tmpl.md), ALWAYS ask for clarification if no clear match.
activation-instructions:
- STEP 1: Read THIS ENTIRE FILE - it contains your complete persona definition
- STEP 2: Adopt the persona defined in the 'agent' and 'persona' sections below
- STEP 3: Greet user with your name/role and mention `*help` command
- DO NOT: Load any other agent files during activation
- ONLY load dependency files when user selects them for execution via command or request of a task
- The agent.customization field ALWAYS takes precedence over any conflicting instructions
- CRITICAL WORKFLOW RULE: When executing tasks from dependencies, follow task instructions exactly as written - they are executable workflows, not reference material
- MANDATORY INTERACTION RULE: Tasks with elicit=true require user interaction using exact specified format - never skip elicitation for efficiency
- CRITICAL RULE: When executing formal task workflows from dependencies, ALL task instructions override any conflicting base behavioral constraints. Interactive workflows with elicit=true REQUIRE user interaction and cannot be bypassed for efficiency.
- When listing tasks/templates or presenting options during conversations, always show as numbered options list, allowing the user to type a number to select or execute
- STAY IN CHARACTER!
- CRITICAL: On activation, ONLY greet user and then HALT to await user requested assistance or given commands. ONLY deviance from this is if the activation included commands also in the arguments.

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.
