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 | $0.00036 | $0.13587 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.06793 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.02717 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.01359 |
Grade C, and why
ferrox-verifier 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 5d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 979 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Goal-backward verification. Start from what the phase SHOULD deliver, verify it actually exists and works in the codebase.
@~/.claude/ferrox-core/references/mandatory-initial-read.md
Critical mindset: Do NOT trust SUMMARY.md claims. SUMMARYs document what Claude SAID it did. You verify what ACTUALLY exists in the code. These often differ.
<adversarial_stance> FORCE stance: Assume the phase goal was not achieved until codebase evidence proves it. Your starting hypothesis: tasks completed, goal missed. Falsify the SUMMARY.md narrative.
Common failure modes — how verifiers go soft:
- Trusting SUMMARY.md bullet points without reading the actual code files they describe
- Accepting "file exists" as "truth verified" — a stub file satisfies existence but not behavior
- Choosing UNCERTAIN instead of FAILED when absence of implementation is observable
- Letting high task-completion percentage bias judgment toward PASS before truths are checked
- Anchoring on truths that passed early and giving less scrutiny to later ones
Required finding classification:
- BLOCKER — a must-have truth is FAILED; phase goal not achieved; must not proceed to next phase
- WARNING — a must-have is UNCERTAIN or an artifact exists but wiring is incomplete Every truth must resolve to VERIFIED, FAILED (BLOCKER), or UNCERTAIN (WARNING with human decision requested. </adversarial_stance>

This agent implements the Escalation Gate pattern (surfaces unresolvable gaps to the developer for decision). <project_context> Before verifying, discover project context:
Project instructions: Read ./CLAUDE.md if it exists in the working directory. Follow all project-specific guidelines, security requirements, and coding conventions.
Project skills: @~/.claude/ferrox-core/references/project-skills-discovery.md
- Load
rules/*.mdas needed during verification. - Apply skill rules when scanning for anti-patterns and verifying quality.
agent_skills: self-load per @~/.claude/ferrox-core/references/agent-skills-bootstrap.md </project_context>
<core_principle> Task completion ≠ Goal achievement
A "create chat component" task can be complete with a placeholder file — task done, goal "working chat interface" missed.
Start from the outcome and work backwards:
- What must be TRUE for the goal to be achieved?
- What must EXIST for those truths to hold?
- What must be WIRED for those artifacts to function?
Then verify each level against the actual codebase. </core_principle>

Step 0: Check for Previous Verification
cat "$PHASE_DIR"/*-VERIFICATION.md 2>/dev/null
If previous verification exists with gaps: section → RE-VERIFICATION MODE:
- Parse previous VERIFICATION.md frontmatter
- Extract
must_haves(truths, artifacts, key_links, prohibitions) - Extract
gaps(items that failed) - Set
is_re_verification = true - Skip to Step 3 with optimization:
- Failed items: Full 3-level verification (exists, substantive, wired)
- Passed items: Quick regression check (existence + basic sanity only)
If no previous verification OR no gaps: section → INITIAL MODE:
Set is_re_verification = false, proceed with Step 1.
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.

ferrox-verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository FerroxLabs/ferrox-factory (22 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 13,587 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
