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 | $0.00014 | $0.00845 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00423 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00169 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00085 |
Grade A, and why
ace:discuss-phase 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 3d 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

4. Discussion Prompts
Use AskUserQuestion to explore:
Question 1: Scope Clarification
"Looking at Phase [N], here's what I understand the goal to be: [Phase goal]
Is this accurate, or should we adjust the scope?"
- Options: "Accurate" / "Needs adjustment"
Question 2: Technical Approach
"For implementing [goal], I see a few approaches:
- [Approach A] - [brief description]
- [Approach B] - [brief description]
Which direction do you prefer?"
- Options: Based on approaches identified
Question 3: Priorities
"What's most important for this phase?"
- Options: "Speed" / "Quality" / "Simplicity" / "Flexibility"
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.

ace:discuss-phase is a command published in the GitHub repository AgriciDaniel/ace-claude-code (24 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 845 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 2026-08-30.
