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 | $0.00224 | $0.00224 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00112 | $0.00112 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
paleo CLAUDE.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 6d 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
paleo — repo guidance
Token-saving skill collection. Skills make LLM usage cheaper: compress output, trim context, skip filler.
- Skills live in
skills/<name>/SKILL.md. - Every SKILL.md MUST start with YAML frontmatter:
name+description. name: lowercase, hyphens, <=64 chars.description: <=1024 chars, starts with "Use when ...".- Register each skill in
.claude-plugin/plugin.json+gemini-extension.json. - Bump version badge in README.md (badge row + footer) + plugin
versionon every change. - Never commit
.env/*.session(git-ignored).
Token budget (hard rule)
Skills load into the LLM context, so they MUST be token-minimal:
- Prose: terse — drop filler/articles, short clauses, one idea per line.
- Code + technical terms (API names, CLI commands, error strings) stay EXACT. Never abbreviate.
- No redundant examples. Smaller SKILL.md = cheaper + faster agents.
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.

paleo CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mocasus/paleo (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 224 tokens to every session, about $0.0011 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.
