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 | $0.00026 | $0.00572 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00286 |
| Sonnet 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 2d 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.

/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 (380 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 572 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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
template
Manage issue templates for streamlined issue creation.
cross-validate
Take a specific scientific claim and confirm or refute it across 3+ independent databases, then report concordance. Use before publishing, citing, or acting on a fact when you want to know how strongly it's supported. Forces multi-source verification that the agent doesn't naturally enforce.
translate-id
Resolve an identifier across all relevant namespaces (HGNC symbol, Ensembl, UniProt, NCBI Gene ID, RefSeq, MGI, OMIM, ChEMBL, PubChem, etc.). Detects the input namespace automatically, picks the right resolver tool, and returns a complete cross-reference table. Use when you have an ID in one namespace and need it in…
discover
Search the Everruns(Dev) API catalog for available operations.
fix
Universal debugging and fix application with semantic code analysis.
