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 5.1 | $0.00169 | $0.00169 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00084 | $0.00084 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00034 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00017 |
Grade A, and why
indexed-tables 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 8d 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
Indexed Tables and Suggestions
All tables and suggestion lists must include a numeric index in column zero (or as a numbered list) so the user can easily refer to specific items.
Tables
Always include an # or Index column as the first column:
| # | Loop Type | Provable? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | loop-match | Yes |
| 2 | while | No |
| 3 | for-in | No |
Suggestion Lists
Use numbered lists instead of bullets:
- First suggestion
- Second suggestion
- Third suggestion
This allows the user to say "do #2" or "explain row 3" without ambiguity.
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.

indexed-tables is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository briangmilnes/APAS-VERUS (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 169 tokens to every session, about $0.0008 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.
