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 | $0.00022 | $0.01313 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00656 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
aside 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
98% identical to aside — 32 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Aside Command
Ask a question mid-task and get an immediate, focused answer: then continue right where you left off. The current task, files, and context are never modified.
When to Use
- You're curious about something while Gemini is working and don't want to lose momentum
- You need a quick explanation of code Gemini is currently editing
- You want a second opinion or clarification on a decision without derailing the task
- You need to understand an error, concept, or pattern before Gemini proceeds
- You want to ask something unrelated to the current task without starting a new session
Usage
/aside <your question>
/aside what does this function actually return?
/aside is this pattern thread-safe?
/aside why are we using X instead of Y here?
/aside what's the difference between foo() and bar()?
/aside should we be worried about the N+1 query we just added?
Process
Step 1: Freeze the current task state
Before answering anything, mentally note:
- What is the active task? (what file, feature, or problem was being worked on)
- What step was in progress at the moment
/asidewas invoked? - What was about to happen next?
Do NOT touch, edit, create, or delete any files during the aside.
Step 2: Answer the question directly
Answer the question in the most concise form that is still complete and useful.
- Lead with the answer, not the reasoning
- Keep it short: if a full explanation is needed, offer to go deeper after the task
- If the question is about the current file or code being worked on, reference it precisely (file path and line number if relevant)
- If answering requires reading a file, read it: but read only, never write
Format the response as:
ASIDE: [restate the question briefly]
[Your answer here]
Back to task: [one-line description of what was being done]
Step 3: Resume the main task
After delivering the answer, immediately continue the active task from the exact point it was paused. Do not ask for permission to resume unless the aside answer revealed a blocker or a reason to reconsider the current approach (see Edge Cases).
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.

aside is a command published in the GitHub repository Fmarzochi/EGC (48 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,313 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to aside, differing in 32 lines, and is treated as a copy.
