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.
npx agentmods add instructions/kdr/overcast/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kdr/overcastWhat it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.13809 | $0.13809 |
| Opus 5 | $0.06904 | $0.06904 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.02762 | $0.02762 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01381 | $0.01381 |
Grade A, and why
overcast CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What this repo is
overcast — a portable toolkit that gives an agent senses (video / audio / image understanding) and OSINT reach (search / capture / monitor), organized around an investigation case. Built on top of pi (the agent harness), with tinycloud / Cloudglue as the default perception backend.
It ships three ways from one source of truth (src/registry/verbs.ts): a pi
package (extension + skills + prompts + theme), a standalone bun binary, and
agent skills that drive the CLI from any harness.

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.

overcast CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository kdr/overcast (15 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 13,809 tokens to every session, about $0.0690 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
