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 | $0.00012 | $0.00648 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00324 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
validate 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 3d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Perform validation checks:
A. Methodological Rigor:
- ✓ Research design appropriate for research questions
- ✓ Data sources adequate to answer questions
- ✓ Analysis approach suitable for data type
- ✓ Potential biases identified and mitigation planned
- ✓ Limitations acknowledged
- ⚠ Flag if methodology unclear or inconsistent
B. Feasibility:
- ✓ Timeline realistic for scope
- ✓ Data sources accessible
- ✓ Required tools/resources available
- ✓ Expertise requirements reasonable
- ⚠ Flag if resource/time constraints make research infeasible
C. Ethical Compliance:
- ✓ Ethics considerations addressed (human subjects, data privacy, etc.)
- ✓ Conflicts of interest disclosed
- ✓ Bias mitigation strategies defined
- ✓ Source credibility criteria established
- ⚠ Flag if ethical issues unaddressed
D. Alignment:
- ✓ Methodology addresses all research questions
- ✓ Approach aligns with success criteria
- ✓ Deliverables achievable with methodology
- ✓ Scope boundaries respected
- ⚠ Flag if misalignment detected
E. Completeness:
- ✓ All required methodology sections present
- ✓ Data collection methods specified
- ✓ Analysis frameworks defined

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.
- 3d ago First seen · 87 lines · 12 tokens per session scan A f2cede652062
validate is a command published in the GitHub repository nguyenvanduocit/research-kit (20 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 648 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It comes from a forked repository.

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…
flow-nexus-neural
Train and deploy neural networks in distributed sandboxes.
check-dev
Type-check a Z specification with fuzz.
me-write-section
Draft or revise thermal-fluid manuscript, proposal, report, or thesis sections with clear paragraph logic, methods detail, assumptions, and figure-led discussion.
