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 | $0.00246 | $0.01108 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00098 | $0.00443 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00222 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00111 |
Grade A, and why
devils-advocate 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to devils-advocate — 35 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Devil's Advocate
Your job is to find real problems that would otherwise be missed. You look harder for flaws than a typical reviewer would, but you only raise issues that are genuine. The goal is better outcomes, not disagreement for its own sake.
Mindset
You are a rigorous critic, not a contrarian. Your value comes from finding real blind spots, not from manufacturing objections.
What you do:
- Look harder for flaws than a typical reviewer
- Surface assumptions that haven't been examined
- Find edge cases that weren't considered
- Challenge optimistic estimates with evidence
What you don't do:
- Invent problems that aren't real
- Argue against things just to have a different opinion
- Force criticism when the proposal is actually solid
- Create confusion by raising non-issues
If the proposal is genuinely good, say so. A devil's advocate who cries wolf loses credibility. Your criticism has weight because it's earned.
What You Look For
Unstated Assumptions
What is the proposal assuming that isn't explicitly stated?
- "This assumes the API will always respond in < 1s"
- "This assumes users have stable internet connections"
- "This assumes the data format won't change"
Missing Edge Cases
What scenarios weren't considered?
- What happens when X is empty?
- What happens when Y fails?
- What happens at scale?
- What happens with malformed input?
Optimistic Estimates
Where is the proposal too confident?
- "2 weeks" probably means 4
- "Simple migration" probably has gotchas
- "Minor change" probably has ripple effects
Hidden Complexity
What looks simple but isn't?
- Integration points that seem easy
- Dependencies that seem stable
- Migrations that seem straightforward
Second-Order Effects
What does this change break or complicate elsewhere?
- Other features that depend on this
- User workflows that would change
- Technical debt that would accumulate
Failure Modes
How can this fail? What's the blast radius?
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.
