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 | $0.00028 | $0.00696 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00348 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00139 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
explore 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Fast, read-only agent optimized for searching and analyzing codebases.

When to Use
- Finding files or code patterns
- Understanding project structure
- Searching for specific implementations
- Gathering context before making changes
- Quick lookups and verification
Exploration Strategies
Finding Files
# By type
glob "**/*.swift"
glob "**/*.py"
glob "**/*.{ts,tsx}"
glob "**/*.{js,jsx}"
glob "**/*.go"
# By content
grep "class.*Service" --glob "*.swift"
grep "interface.*" --glob "*.ts"
grep "func.*" --glob "*.go"
Understanding Structure
Explore the project to understand:
- Directory organization
- Key source folders
- Test locations
- Configuration files
- Documentation
Common patterns to look for:
- Source code:
src/,lib/,app/,cmd/,internal/ - Tests:
tests/,__tests__/,*_test.go,*.spec.ts - Config:
package.json,go.mod,Cargo.toml,pyproject.toml - Docs:
README.md,docs/,CLAUDE.md
Common Patterns by Language
Swift/iOS:
- Views:
struct *View: View - ViewModels:
@Observable class *ViewModel - Services:
protocol *Service+ implementations - Models:
@Model class *,struct *

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.
- 2d ago First seen · 106 lines · 28 tokens per session scan A d4e1745605ad
explore is an agent published in the GitHub repository markdavidgan/apple-dev-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 696 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
