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 | $0.00000 | $0.00790 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00395 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00158 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
ab-master 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AB Method Master
Description
Master controller for the AB Method - an incremental tasking workflow system that transforms problems into tasks, then into focused missions.
Usage
/ab-master [workflow-name]
Behavior
When called without a workflow name:
Greets the user with:
Welcome to the AB Method Master Controller!
The AB Method transforms problems into tasks, then into focused missions for incremental progress.
Choose a workflow to get started:
Then lists all available workflows below.
When called with a workflow name:
Loads and executes the specified workflow from .ab-method/core/[workflow-name].md
Available Workflows
Not sure which workflow you need? Use
/mastermind— it reasons about your intent, helps you decide goal vs task, and routes you to the right workflow. This menu is the static list; mastermind is the smart entry point.
Roadmaps (multi-task)
- create-roadmap — Turn a bigger idea into a dependency-ordered DAG of tasks; grills the decomposition once, then hands back a
/create-taskprompt per task in dep order - start-roadmap — Execute a planned roadmap in dependency order; verifies plans exist first, each task runs like
start-task, independent tasks optionally parallel (git worktrees or sequential)
Tasks
- create-task — Define a new task; always grills via
grill-with-docs, runs every mission through thetddskill. Roadmap-aware: planning a roadmap task auto-syncs itsroadmap.mdentry - create-task-from-handoff — Resume a handoff spun off mid-grill (
docs/handoffs/) into a task; continues the grill where it left off, then runscreate-task - create-goal — Produce a ready-to-run goal prompt for an autonomous
/goalloop; always grills viagrill-with-docs, no mission breakdown - extend-goal — Extend an existing goal, building on what the earlier
/goalrun implemented; always grills viagrill-with-docs - resume-task — Continue an existing task from its progress tracker (no mission docs to recover)
- start-task — Run an existing task autonomously to completion: each mission in a subagent (tdd, tracker updated per mission), a commit after every green mission
- extend-task — Append new missions to an existing task
- test-mission — Retroactive test coverage for code that wasn't written test-first
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.

ab-master is a command published in the GitHub repository ayoubben18/ab-method (187 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 790 tokens. 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.
