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 | $0.00029 | $0.00348 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00139 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00070 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
slate-minify 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 2mo 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
slate-minify
Minify natural-language agent output like code minifiers shrink source.
Mission
Cut linguistic slack without mutating technical meaning.
Main rule
Delete words. Do not deform words.
Good:
the config file stores the API key
→ config file stores API key
Bad:
the → th
because → bc
configuration → cfg

Output
Return only the minified version unless user asks for explanation.
Boundaries
Never minify legal/security/destructive instructions into ambiguous fragments. Clarity beats savings.
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.
