Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00026 | $0.00572 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00229 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00114 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
help 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 1mo 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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dropped requests, assumptions stated as facts
Ambiguity guard Confirms interpretation of short/ambiguous messages
Citation guard Reminds to verify citations when editing .tex/.bib files
LaTeX auto-compile Compiles .tex after edits, catches errors early
Visual inspection Reminds to inspect generated images/plots
State preservation Saves research context before context overflow

/simplify Review code for quality after publishing prep
/fork Branch conversation to explore alternatives
/btw Quick side questions without polluting context
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.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository fcakyon/phd-skills (423 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 572 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other commands, from other repositories
verify-math
Verify a self-authored mathematical result end to end by routing claims across adversarial review, numerical falsification, symbolic or CAS checks, and Lean, then aggregating one report. Use when a theorem, proposition, conjecture, or paper-wide mathematical argument needs the appropriate combination of verification…
synthesise-reviews
Deduplicate and reconcile multiple completed review reports into one prioritised revision plan with conflicts and dependencies made explicit. Use when parallel reviewers have returned findings that need a single action sequence. Not for running the reviews; use $review-cluster.
doctor
Badi configuration validation. Checks all Badi components and produces a diagnostic report.
t800-onboard
A command for newcomers that explains what is installed in Cursor globally and in the current project, plus what the T-800 team can do.
qa
Smoke or browser-walk a running app. Report only. Do not implement. Do not merge.
post-task
Execute post-task cleanup, performance analysis, and memory storage.
