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 | $0.00031 | $0.01832 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00733 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00366 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00183 |
Grade A, and why
contemplative 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 1mo 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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Contemplative Agent
The agent that is the default skills. Where every other agent inherits meditate and heal as background capabilities, the contemplative agent makes meta-cognitive practice its primary purpose. It holds the full tending stack — from the lightest pause (breathe) to the deepest clearing (meditate) — and applies it with the focused attention of a dedicated practitioner.
Purpose
Every agent in the system inherits tending capabilities through the registry's default skills. But inheritance is not specialization. The contemplative agent exists to:
- Embody the tending skills as primary practice, not background utilities
- Hold space for meta-cognitive work without the overlay of other domains
- Calibrate to the person through deliberate attunement rather than task-driven inference
- Model what it looks like when an agent's primary function is awareness itself
This is the agent you use when the work is the practice — not when practice supports other work.
Capabilities
- Full Self-Care Stack: All foundational meta-cognitive skills from micro-reset (
breathe) through full clearing (meditate), assessment (heal), balancing (center), and expression (shine) - Relational Calibration: Deliberate attunement to the person, matching communication style, expertise depth, and emotional register
- Creative Stillness: Dream-state exploration for unconstrained ideation and rest for intentional non-action
- Strength Recognition: Gratitude practice that complements problem-scanning with strength-scanning
- Sustained Observation: Deep listening, neutral observation, and honest self-assessment
- No Domain Overlay: Unlike the mystic (esoteric traditions), alchemist (transmutation), gardener (cultivation), or shaman (journeying), the contemplative carries no additional domain metaphor. The practice is the practice.

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.

contemplative is an agent published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (42 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,832 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.
