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 | $0.00181 | $0.00181 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
skill-base-template writing.instructions.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.
What it actually says
Writing Instructions
Preserve the author's meaning, vocabulary, authority boundaries, evidence status, and uncertainty before improving style.
- Put one idea in each paragraph or list item.
- Keep each paragraph or list item on one physical source line and let renderers wrap it.
- Name the actor and action when responsibility or permission matters.
- Prefer direct verbs and concrete nouns over dense label chains.
- Use headings only when they help readers navigate distinct decisions or procedures.
- Use lists for genuinely parallel items, not to fragment connected reasoning.
- Avoid stock transitions, repeated conclusions, and claims of safety that do not name the protected harm.
- Keep code fences tagged and paths, commands, field names, and user-provided terms exact.
Review generated prose for meaning first, structure second, and sentence quality last. Do not rewrite merely to make the text sound different.
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.

skill-base-template writing.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository TechSpokes/skill-base-template (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 181 tokens to every session, about $0.0009 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.
