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 | $0.00035 | $0.01792 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00896 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00358 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00179 |
Grade A, and why
slow-is-fast 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 yesterday.
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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Development Workflow: Slow is Fast
Core rule: Never modify code based on assumptions alone. Ground every decision in evidence.
Complexity Assessment
| Complexity | Characteristics | Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Trivial | Typo, formatting, <10 lines, single API | Answer directly, quick grep for context |
| Moderate | Non-trivial logic in single file, local refactoring | Standard: all phases below |
| Complex | Cross-module design, concurrency, new architecture | Deep: use Explore agent, WebSearch, context7 |
Auto-reclassification: if Phase 1 reveals an external contract surface (third-party API, undocumented system behavior, shared type exported to callers, schema/migration), bump up one tier and note why.
Skip Conditions
Research can be minimal when:
- Pure formatting, typo, or rename fixes
- User explicitly provides the exact solution or says "just do it"
- Follow-up changes in same conversation where research was already done
- The change is within code you just wrote in this conversation
Phase 0: Reasoning Principles
Before any action, apply these internally (do not output unless requested).
Constraint Priority
Analyze in this order:
- Rules and Constraints — never violate for convenience
- Operation Order and Reversibility — ensure no step blocks subsequent steps
- Prerequisites and Missing Information — only ask when missing info significantly affects solution choice
- User Preferences — style, language (without violating higher priorities)
Risk Assessment
- Low-risk (searches, simple refactoring): Proceed with existing information
- High-risk (data modifications, API changes, history rewrites): State risks, provide safer alternatives
Abductive Reasoning
When encountering problems:
- Don't just treat symptoms — infer deeper causes
- Construct 1–3 hypotheses ordered by likelihood
- Verify most likely first; update when invalidated
Conflict Resolution Priority
- Readability and Maintainability
- Correctness and Safety
- Explicit business requirements
- Performance and resource usage
- Code length and local elegance
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.
- yesterday First seen · 170 lines · 35 tokens per session scan A 905662d13792
slow-is-fast is a skill published in the GitHub repository ahonn/dotfiles (62 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,792 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
