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 | $0.00013 | $0.01670 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00835 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00334 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00167 |
Grade A, and why
pause 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PACT Pause Protocol
Pause the current session for later resumption. This is a memory-critical subset of wrap-up — it consolidates knowledge and persists session state without cleaning up the worktree or deleting tasks.
Cross-reference: For full end-of-session cleanup (worktree removal, task audit, session decision), see wrap-up.md. Pause is invoked automatically when the user chooses "Pause work for now" in
/PACT:peer-review,/PACT:comPACT, or/PACT:wrap-up.
When to Use
- PR is open but not ready to merge
- User wants to pause work and resume later (same or different session)
- End of day / context switch — preserve knowledge before teammates shut down
Steps
CRITICAL: Steps 1-3 (consolidation) MUST complete BEFORE step 6 (teammate shutdown). The secretary needs to be alive to process HANDOFFs.
1. Memory Consolidation (Pass 2)
TaskCreate(subject="secretary: session consolidation (Pass 2)",
description="Run Consolidation Harvest for team {team_name}. Follow the Consolidation Harvest workflow in your pact-handoff-harvest skill. Report summary when done.")
TaskUpdate(taskId, owner="secretary")
2. Documentation Sync
Run /PACT:pin-memory (no arguments): Reviews the session for pin-worthy context, pins what matters, and prunes stale entries.
3. Orchestration Retrospective
Delegate calibration data save to the secretary:
TaskCreate(subject="secretary: save orchestration retrospective",
description="Save orchestration calibration: context='Orchestration retrospective for {feature}', goal='Calibrate orchestration judgment via second-order observation', decisions=[variety accuracy, specialist fit, phase efficiency], entities=['orchestration_calibration', '{domain}']. Report summary when done.")
TaskUpdate(taskId, owner="secretary")
Skip when: Session was trivial (single comPACT, no variety assessment performed).
4. Task Status Report
Report task summary without deleting any tasks:
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.

pause is a command published in the GitHub repository Synaptic-Labs-AI/PACT-Plugin (71 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 1,670 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 2026-08-30.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
