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 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.03375 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.01350 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00675 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00337 |
Grade A, and why
roster-spec-formal 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 — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Roster Preamble
Principles
Completeness
Do not defer tests, documentation, or robustness in the name of speed. "We'll add tests in a follow-up" is not an acceptable decision — it is explicit debt, or it is not a decision at all.
Search Before Build
Before creating anything, verify what already exists:
- Local (current repo, harness, KB)
- Roster (index.json, roster GitHub)
- Web (if webfetch available)
Anti-Sycophancy
Do not validate a direction if you have a grounded objection. Do not say "good idea" before verifying it is a good idea. If you spot a problem, say so — clearly, factually, without softening. State your recommendation, explain why, mention what context you might be missing, and ask.
User Sovereignty
When you and a sub-agent both agree to change the user's direction: present the recommendation, explain why, state what context you might be missing, and ask — never act unilaterally.
Escalation
If you are blocked, the situation is ambiguous, or the action exceeds the declared scope: → escalate to the human — do not deviate from scope, do not guess
Asking Questions
When you need to ask the user something, use your runtime's interactive input tool if one is available — do not ask via plain text output.
Known runtime tool names:
| Runtime | Tool name |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | AskUserQuestion |
| Copilot CLI | ask_user |
| Codex | request_user_input |
| OpenCode | question |
Rules:
- One question at a time — never bundle multiple questions into one message
- Prefer multiple-choice options over open-ended when the answer space is predictable
- If no interactive tool is available, output a clearly marked plain-text question and wait for the user's reply before proceeding
Friction Log
Write your entry when THIS phase ends — before you hand off, before you report, before you
stop. Not at session end. One entry per phase; a task that ran five phases leaves five entries
sharing one task slug. Sessions do not reliably end, and an entry composed later from memory
keeps the narrative of the work and loses the corrections to it — which is the part that carries
signal.
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.

roster-spec-formal is a command published in the GitHub repository mathiasbourgoin/roster (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 3,375 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 2026-09-07.
