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 | $0.00012 | $0.01317 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00659 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00132 |
Grade B, and why
configure scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Howl Configure
Help the user choose a display preset for their Howl statusline HUD.
Available Presets
| Preset | Lines | Best For | Displays |
|---|---|---|---|
| full | 2-4 | Complete visibility | All metrics (default) |
| minimal | 1 | Clean workspace | Model + Context + Cost + Duration |
| developer | 2 | Coding focus | + Account + Git + Changes + Cache + Vim |
| cost-focused | 2 | Budget tracking | + Quota + API Wait + Cost Velocity |
Process
-
Use the AskUserQuestion tool to present preset choices as an interactive UI:
- Question: "Which Howl statusline preset would you like to use?"
- Header: "Display Preset"
- Options (4):
- Label: "full (default)" | Description: "Complete visibility - All metrics (2-4 lines)"
- Label: "minimal" | Description: "Clean workspace - Model + Context + Cost + Duration only (1 line)"
- Label: "developer" | Description: "Coding focus - Add Account, Git, Changes, Cache, Vim (2 lines)"
- Label: "cost-focused" | Description: "Budget tracking - Add Quota, API Wait, Cost Velocity (2 lines)"
-

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.

configure is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-screams/Howl (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,317 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

Curate Claude Code skill / MCP / hook picks against live upstream sources and pin them in .claude/settings.json. Adding a process harness (a paired skill set) is an ordinary pick this door handles. Reads stack from docs/techstack.md, workflow signal from docs/overview.md + existing pins, then live-queries six source…

Use when caller wants to observe how a stranger encounters a flow, artifact, or sandbox — triggers like "simulate a user journey", "test our onboarding / checkout / signup", "will my ICP convert", "how does a cold reader experience this README", "first-time user test", "cognitive walkthrough", or any request to…

Cross-reference project docs for drift, stale references, and contradictions. Outputs timestamped report. Discovers Markdown wherever it lives in the repo.

Public entry for the super-bootstrap pipeline — thin orchestrator. Git-inits if absent, then dispatches /super-bootstrap:harness-bootstrap to install or sync the generic runway (always; the runway self-detects fresh-vs-sync).

release
Prepare a version release — bump version files, commit, and tag. Just run /release with no arguments.
merge
Absorb one or more feature branches into the base branch. Recommends merge vs rebase per branch. On conflict, aborts that branch + surfaces the file list + stops. Resolution out of scope; routes to the harness-named conflict-resolution agent or the user.
