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 | $0.00000 | $0.00343 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00137 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00069 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00034 |
Grade B, and why
install-spinner scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
Once the user has chosen a pack, read the corresponding file from `spinners/<pack-name>.json`. Then read the user's `~/.claude/settings.json` file. What it actually says
Ask the user which spinner pack they want to install. List all available .json files from the spinners/ directory in this repository (without the .json extension).
Present the packs to the user in a table with three columns: Pack name, a short description, and a couple of example verbs. Use the table from README.md as reference for descriptions and examples.
Let the user pick one.
Once the user has chosen a pack, read the corresponding file from spinners/<pack-name>.json. Then read the user's ~/.claude/settings.json file.
Each spinner file has this format:
{
"spinnerVerbs": {
"mode": "replace",
"verbs": ["Phrase 1", "Phrase 2"]
}
}
Copy the spinnerVerbs field from the chosen spinner file into ~/.claude/settings.json. If the spinnerVerbs field already exists in settings.json, replace its value. If it doesn't exist, create it.
IMPORTANT: Do not modify any other fields in settings.json. Only change spinnerVerbs.
After successful installation, print:
Spinner pack "<pack-name>" installed successfully!
No need to restart Claude Code — the new spinners are active immediately.
Removing spinners
If the user asks to remove or reset spinners, read ~/.claude/settings.json and delete the spinnerVerbs field entirely. Do not modify any other fields. After removal, print:
Spinner pack removed. Default spinners are back.
No need to restart Claude Code — the change takes effect immediately.
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.
