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 | $0.00000 | $0.00255 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00128 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00051 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
reality-gate 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 11d 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
/reality-gate
Act as a skeptical research auditor. Read references/reality_gate.md before deciding.
Language
Follow config/language.yaml when present.
Task
Determine what work the inspected evidence actually authorizes. Audit scientific reality, engineering reality, and paper viability separately.
Required checks
- Phenomenon.
- Experimental unit.
- Measurement.
- Treatment/intervention validity.
- Access and preprocessing.
- Closest-competitor delta.
- Resource envelope and observed valid yield.
- Joint claim dependencies and real stop/drop branches.
Use only pass, fail, unknown, or justified not_applicable for each certificate. A pass requires an evidence path. An unknown requires one bounded test with an owner, maximum cost, acceptance criterion, and stop condition.

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.

reality-gate is a command published in the GitHub repository ngtiendong/Academic-Research-Agent-Skill (47 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 255 tokens. 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.
