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 | $0.00105 | $0.01184 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00474 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00237 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
opinion 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 28d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Opinion
Leading words: current first, same-family ok, slug shield, auto-pick stays distinct, labeled takes, no writes.
Workers answer the same request. This chat does not edit the project.
User input
$ARGUMENTS
Optional --agents N (also --n N, or a lone integer). Default 3.
Clamp to 2–5. Strip the flag from the question text. If the user already
named models (or current), use that list and ignore --agents. One
named model fills every slot.
Operating contract
- Do not auto-start this skill. The user must ask for it.
- Current-for-all is the default. Same family may occupy more than one slot when they chose that.
- Auto-pick is the only path that still requires distinct families.
- Do not invent a model name. Use the live list this harness exposes.
- Never write a spawn identifier in a question, option, chat roster, worker prompt, or take label. Map family → live-list name only in the spawn tool's
modelargument. Current →inherit(or omitmodel). - Workers are read-only. A worker that edits files has failed; discard that take.
- Do not write project files. If the user wanted the work done, use
execute. - If this host cannot spawn a child at all, stop. Auto-pick that cannot gather two families: offer Current-for-all or
deep-deliberation.
Runtime state
OPINION_STATE
host: cursor | claude-code | opencode | copilot | codex | other
agents: 2-5
roster: unset | Current,OpenAI,…
takes: 0/N
next_action: one action only
Pipeline
Copy these steps into the todo list verbatim. Skip with skip: <reason>.
- Parse
--agents(default 3, clamp 2–5). Detect the host. Read references/hosts.md. Build the live spawnable model list. Current-for-all does not need two families. - Resolve roster: models the user named, or Current for all, or auto-pick
agentsfamilies, or assign each worker. Announce with display names before spawning. - Spawn one read-only worker per roster slot. Same prompt. Parallel. Read references/worker-prompt.md.
- Render labeled takes (
[Current],[OpenAI], …). Stop. Do not merge into one verdict. Do not write files.
What ships with it
2 files 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.

opinion is a skill published in the GitHub repository afaraha8403/balakit (1 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 1,184 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-18.
