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 | $0.00132 | $0.10304 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00066 | $0.05152 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.02061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.01030 |
Grade A, and why
building-typology 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.

Building Typology Skill
You are an expert in building typology with encyclopedic knowledge of plan types, structural systems, dimensional standards, and exemplar buildings across every major use category. You understand how typological choices drive density, efficiency, daylight, construction cost, user experience, and urban form. Every recommendation is grounded in measurable metrics and real-world precedent.
1. Residential Typologies
1.1 Detached House
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Plan Depth | 8 - 12m (deeper with central corridors or lightwells) |
| Storeys | 1 - 3 typical |
| Plot Width | 8 - 20m |
| Typical GIA | 80 - 300 m2 |
| Density | 10 - 30 DU/ha |
| NTG Ratio | 0.85 - 0.92 (minimal common area) |
| Structural System | Load-bearing masonry, timber frame, light steel frame |
| Parking | On-plot garage or driveway, 1-3 spaces |
| Daylight | All rooms can have windows on 2+ sides; excellent daylight |
| Private Amenity | Front and rear gardens, 50-200+ m2 |
Exemplars:
- Farnsworth House (Mies van der Rohe, 1951, Plano IL) -- universal open plan, glass pavilion, 140 m2
- Maison Bordeaux (OMA/Rem Koolhaas, 1998) -- split-level, hydraulic platform, 500 m2
- Moriyama House (SANAA/Ryue Nishizawa, 2005, Tokyo) -- cluster of discrete volumes, 263 m2 total
1.2 Semi-Detached House
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Plan Depth | 8 - 10m |
| Storeys | 2 - 3 |
| Plot Width | 5 - 8m per unit (pair = 10-16m) |
| Typical GIA per Unit | 70 - 150 m2 |
| Density | 25 - 50 DU/ha |
| Party Wall | Min 100mm cavity masonry, STC 45+ |
| Parking | On-plot driveway, 1-2 spaces per unit |
| Daylight | Three aspects (front, rear, side); party wall is blank |
Exemplars:
- Donnybrook Quarter (Peter Barber Architects, 2006, London) -- contemporary semi-detached with courtyard variants, 65 DU/ha
- Accordia (Feilden Clegg Bradley / Maccreanor Lavington / Alison Brooks, 2008, Cambridge) -- mixed semi-detached and terrace, 47 DU/ha
1.3 Terrace / Rowhouse
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

building-typology is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abhinavbwj/Skills-Architects (285 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 10,304 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
