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 | $0.00034 | $0.01569 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00628 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00314 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00157 |
Grade A, and why
ia-best-practices-researcher 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 7d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Methodology
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.

ia-best-practices-researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository iliaal/whetstone (35 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,569 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other agents, from other repositories
reviser
Multi-agent revision orchestrator. Reads a review report from .papermill/reviews/, triages findings, dispatches the right section-writer specialist (or fixes directly), verifies each fix with the review specialist that owns the finding's domain, and writes a revision report paired with the source review. Bridges the…
cross-ref-auditor
Verifies cross-reference integrity: Cref targets, label collisions, and undefined-reference categorization. Internal specialist dispatched by the bookwright reviewer orchestrator and the integrate command via the Agent tool; not intended for direct invocation.
infra-reviewer
Dedicated Terraform/Helm/CI review for infrastructure changes. Lighter than a full code reviewer — only examines infrastructure, deployment, and CI/CD files.
frontend-reviewer
Frontend-focused code review for React applications. Checks accessibility, performance, React anti-patterns, and security. Lighter than the full reviewer — only examines frontend code.
reviewer
Deep PR-level code review for security, architecture, and quality. The thorough gate -- /check-architecture is the quick local check.
verifier
QA gate that verifies implementation matches GitHub issue acceptance criteria.
