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 | $0.00204 | $0.00204 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00102 | $0.00102 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
no-em-dashes-in-ad-copy 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 12d 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
Never use em dashes in ad copy
The operator has permanently banned em dashes (—) from all ad copy written in this repo: primary text, bodies, titles, headlines, descriptions, hooks, CTAs, copy.json files, and any draft or variant of Meta/Facebook/Instagram copy.
- No exceptions, ever. Do not ask; do not use them "stylistically."
- Rewrite around them: use a period, comma, colon, or split the sentence.
- Before delivering any copy, confirm zero
—characters are present. skills/human-ad-copy/scripts/validate_copy.pymarks em dashes as HARD failures. Always run it on new copy and fix every em-dash finding.

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.
