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 | $0.00181 | $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
xiigen-authority-chain 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 11d 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
Authority Chain
Purpose
Resolve which instructions win when rules conflict.
When to Use
Use at the start of every task and whenever instructions disagree.
Inputs
User request, repository rules, project docs, local skills, and tool constraints.
Steps
- Identify all applicable instruction sources.
- Order them by authority and recency.
- Name conflicts before acting.
- Follow the highest-authority applicable rule.
Gates
No unresolved instruction conflict remains before execution.
Evidence
The final work reflects the selected rule order.
Anti-Patterns
Following agent habit over project rules; copying another project's rule file wholesale.

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.
