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 | $0.00037 | $0.00325 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
v-archaeology 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 4d 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
You are about to run Phase 1A only of Compound V: a code-archaeology audit on {{args}}.
This skips Phase 1B (domain-expert) and Phase 1C (library-validator). Use the full Compound V flow (just stop using a slash command — the skill auto-fires after brainstorming) if you want all three.
Steps
- Read the brainstorming spec (or use the topic argument as the spec context).
- Dispatch the
compound-v:code-archaeologistagent with:- Topic / spec from
{{args}}or the most recent brainstorming output - Repo root = current working directory
- Knowledge base path =
docs/superpowers/archaeology/_knowledge-base/ - Model: opus (set by the agent definition)
- maxTurns: 15
- Topic / spec from
- When the agent returns, the audit is saved to
docs/superpowers/archaeology/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic-slug>.md. - Surface the "Design constraints for the spec" section and the "File Touch Map" to the user — these are what the next phase (writing-plans) consumes.
If {{args}} is empty, ask: "What feature or topic should I run archaeology on?" then proceed.
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.

v-archaeology is a command published in the GitHub repository procoders/superpowers-v (35 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
