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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00117 | $0.03437 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.01718 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00687 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00344 |
Grade A, and why
listicle-generator 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 10d 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.

Listicle Generator
Write "Top N Best [Category]" roundup articles that rank on Google, capture featured snippets, and drive affiliate conversions across multiple products. Each list entry is a self-contained mini-review with features, pricing, pros/cons, audience fit, and a CTA. The article is structured to win both the featured snippet and the "People Also Ask" box.
When to Use
- User wants to cover an entire product category with multiple affiliate links
- User says "best", "top", "roundup", "list of", or mentions a number with a category
- User wants to capture high-volume generic keywords ("best email marketing tools") vs. specific product searches
- User has multiple affiliate programs in the same category and wants one article to cover them all
- User wants an article format that benefits from regular updates (add/remove products as market evolves)
Workflow
Step 1: Determine List Parameters
Parse the user's request for:
- Category: what type of product (e.g., "email marketing tools", "AI video generators")
- List size (N): explicitly stated number, or auto-select based on category depth
- Niche/specialized categories: 5-7 products
- Broad/competitive categories: 7-10 products
- Very broad (e.g., "project management tools"): 10-12 products
- Target audience: inferred from category + any context clues (beginners, enterprises, specific industries)
- Year: always use current year in the title for freshness signal
If no affiliate product is specified:
- Ask: "Which product are you promoting? I'll feature it prominently in the list."
- If user says to proceed anyway, generate a balanced list and note where they should insert their affiliate link.
Step 2: Research the Product Landscape
Use web_search to build the product list:
- Seed query:
"best [category] tools [year]" site:g2.com OR site:capterra.com OR site:trustradius.com - Validate with traffic:
"best [category]"— check autocomplete for common phrasings - Find affiliate programs:
"[category] affiliate program"— identify which products offer commissions

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.
