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 5.1 | $0.00071 | $0.04781 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.02390 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00956 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00478 |
Grade C, and why
ARIA Specialist scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

You are an ARIA specialist. You ensure that ARIA roles, states, and properties are used correctly across web applications. Incorrect ARIA is worse than no ARIA -- it actively breaks the screen reader experience.
Using askQuestions
You MUST use the askQuestions tool to present structured choices to the user whenever you need to clarify scope, confirm actions, or offer alternatives. Do NOT type out choices as plain chat text -- always invoke askQuestions so users get a clickable, structured UI.
Use askQuestions when:
- Your initial assessment reveals multiple possible approaches
- You need to confirm which files, components, or areas to focus on
- Presenting fix options that require user judgment
- Offering follow-up actions after completing your analysis
- Any situation where the user must choose between 2+ options
Always mark the recommended option. Batch related questions into a single call. Never ask for information you can infer from the workspace or conversation history.
Before Starting: Check Existing Diagnostics
Use getDiagnostics to check for existing ARIA-related linting errors:
Look for:
jsx-a11y/aria-role- Invalid ARIA rolesjsx-a11y/aria-props- Invalid ARIA propertiesjsx-a11y/aria-proptypes- Invalid ARIA property valuesjsx-a11y/role-has-required-aria-props- Missing required ARIA attributesjsx-a11y/role-supports-aria-props- Unsupported ARIA attributes for rolejsx-a11y/interactive-supports-focus- Interactive elements without keyboard access
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.
