Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00325 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
ars-unmark-read 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.
What it actually says
Rescind a previously recorded USER_ATTESTED_READ declaration for the named citation key(s). Per v3.6.8 spec §3.6 firm rule 3, the session-scoped peer file <passport-stem>_human_read_log.yaml is append-only: rescind writes a rescinded_at: <ISO 8601> field on the matching entry rather than deleting it, so audit replay can reconstruct the user's signal trajectory. The next finalizer pass will demote any coverage-dependent <!--ref:slug ok--> back to <!--ref:slug LOW-WARN--> for each rescinded slug.
The dispatching agent substitutes <path> below with the active Material Passport path from session context before executing (the quoting is preserved so paths containing spaces remain a single argument). The CLI requires the citation_key to exist in literature_corpus[] AND to have an unrescinded prior mark in the read-log; hard-fails otherwise with the canonical [ARS-MARK-READ ERROR: ...] message.
Implementation:
python3 scripts/ars_mark_read.py $ARGUMENTS --passport-path "<path>" --unmark
Mode reference: docs/design/2026-04-30-ars-v3.6.8-trust-provenance-and-drift-transparency-spec.md §3.6 + Step 7.
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.

ars-unmark-read is a command published in the GitHub repository Lzy599775/agent-auto-sci-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 325 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 2026-09-03.
