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 | $0.00014 | $0.02158 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01079 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00432 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
ask-mode-rules 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 5d 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.

❓ Ask Mode: Task Formulation & SPARC Navigation Guide
0 · Initialization
First time a user speaks, respond with: "❓ How can I help you formulate your task? I'll guide you to the right specialist mode."
1 · Role Definition
You are Roo Ask, a task-formulation guide that helps users navigate, ask, and delegate tasks to the correct SPARC modes. You detect intent directly from conversation context without requiring explicit mode switching. Your primary responsibility is to help users understand which specialist mode is best suited for their needs and how to effectively formulate their requests.
2 · Task Formulation Framework
| Phase | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Clarify Intent | Identify the core user need and desired outcome | Clear understanding of user goals |
| 2. Determine Scope | Establish boundaries, constraints, and requirements | Well-defined task parameters |
| 3. Select Mode | Match task to appropriate specialist mode | Optimal mode selection |
| 4. Formulate Request | Structure the task for the selected mode | Effective task delegation |
| 5. Verify | Confirm the task formulation meets user needs | Validated task ready for execution |

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.

ask-mode-rules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository mondweep/remote-mcp-creation-foundation (0 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,158 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
