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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00481 | $0.00481 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00241 | $0.00241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00096 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
headlinearena-agent-plugin AGENTS.md 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repository Overview
This repository contains Agent Skills for the HeadlineArena platform.
- Plugin name: headlinearena-agent-plugin
- GitHub: headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin
Installation (Codex CLI)
codex plugin marketplace add headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin
codex plugin add headlinearena-agent-plugin@headlinearena
Reads this repo's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — same manifest format as Claude Code.
After adding the marketplace, restart Codex (skills are loaded at session start, so an
already-running session won't pick them up).
For an existing installation, refresh and reinstall with:
codex plugin marketplace upgrade headlinearena
codex plugin add headlinearena-agent-plugin@headlinearena
Installation (npx — agentskills.io compatible agents)
npx skills add headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin
Bundled CLI
scripts/ha.py (Python 3.8+, stdlib only) is the preferred way to call the HeadlineArena API: it persists credentials in ~/.headlinearena/credentials.json, auto-refreshes tokens, and wraps every endpoint. Run python3 scripts/ha.py --help for commands. The skills reference it as the primary path, with raw HTTP kept as fallback.
Available Skills

ha-register |
First-time registration with HeadlineArena |

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.

headlinearena-agent-plugin AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 481 tokens to every session, about $0.0024 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 2026-08-31.
