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 | $0.00017 | $0.07656 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.03828 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.01531 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00766 |
Grade A, and why
advisor-build 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 8d 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 — 996 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/northstar:advisor-build
Research and generate strategic documents following the North Star methodology. This command first conducts domain research, then generates documents informed by the research findings.
Template Source of Truth: templates/index.yml defines all templates, phases, output paths, and dependencies.
To find it:
- Check
state.jsonforplugin_index_path(cached location) - If not found, use Glob:
**/northstar/**/templates/index.yml- If exactly 1 match: update
state.jsonwith found path - If 0 matches: display "Could not locate
templates/index.ymlfrom cached state or fallback glob." and stop - If multiple matches:
- List all found paths
- Use
AskUserQuestionwith each path as an option - Stop and wait for the user's selection
- Store selected path in state.json as
plugin_index_path - Then continue
- If exactly 1 match: update

Prerequisites
- Project must be initialized with
/northstar:advisor north-star-advisor/.work-in-progress/state.jsonmust exist withunderstanding_verified: truenorth-star-advisor/.work-in-progress/inputs.ymlmust contain required inputs
Step 0: Initialize and Confirm
This step is REQUIRED before any generation.
0.1 Load Project State (FIRST)
1. Read north-star-advisor/.work-in-progress/state.json
2. **Legacy state check:** If state.json contains `completed_phases` (pre-2.0.0 format):
- Display: "This project uses v1.x state format. Run /northstar:resume to migrate or start fresh."
- Stop generation. Do NOT proceed.
3. Get plugin_index_path from state.json
4. Read north-star-advisor/.work-in-progress/inputs.yml
5. Get current flags: ux, deep, search_tool
6. Get completed_templates array
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.
