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 | $0.00011 | $0.00259 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00104 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00052 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
refresh-index 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 1mo 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
Refresh File Index
Update the file index to reflect current workspace state.
Step 1: Load Configuration
Read memory/index_config.json to get exclusion patterns.
If config doesn't exist, use defaults:
- Exclude: node_modules, .git, pycache, .venv, dist, build, *.pyc, .DS_Store
Step 2: Generate Fresh Index
Build exclusion flags from config, then run:
find . -type f [exclusion flags] -exec ls -lh {} \; 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Format and Write
Update memory/file_index.md:
- Update "Last updated" timestamp
- Regenerate directory tree
- Update file listings with current sizes/dates
- Add summary stats at top:
- Total files indexed
- Total size
- Directories covered
Step 4: Report Changes
Compare with previous index if available:
- New files added
- Files removed
- Files with size changes
Output summary to user.
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.

refresh-index is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (12 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 259 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
