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 | $0.00024 | $0.00334 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00167 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
paul:register 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.
What it actually says
When to use:
- Projects initialized before v1.4 that still have paul.json (auto-migration also happens on any workflow contact)
- Projects with
.paul/but no manifest file (paul.json or paul.toml) - After upgrading PAUL framework to v1.4+ to explicitly migrate existing projects
<execution_context> @~/.claude/paul-framework/workflows/register-manifest.md </execution_context>
<success_criteria>
- .paul/paul.toml created with correct project state and [paul] provenance section
- .paul/paul.json deleted (if it existed)
- .paul/ledger.toml created (if missing)
- BASE v2 detection check performed
- User informed of next steps </success_criteria>
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.
