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 | $0.00010 | $0.01893 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00946 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00379 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00189 |
Grade B, and why
threshold 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 5d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Howl Threshold
Customize when Howl changes colors and switches modes. All 15 threshold values are configurable — they control when metrics turn green/yellow/orange/red and when danger mode activates.
Threshold Groups
| Group | Thresholds | Defaults | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Context | context_danger, context_warning, context_moderate |
85%, 70%, 50% | Danger mode trigger, warning/moderate color |
| Session Cost | session_cost_high, session_cost_medium |
$5.00, $1.00 | Cost display color |
| Cache | cache_excellent, cache_good |
80%, 50% | Cache efficiency color |
| API Wait | wait_high, wait_medium |
60%, 35% | API wait ratio color |
| Cost Velocity | cost_velocity_high, cost_velocity_medium |
$0.50, $0.10/min | Cost velocity color |
| Quota | quota_critical, quota_low, quota_medium, quota_high |
10%, 25%, 50%, 75% remaining | Quota color bands |

Only specified thresholds override defaults. Omitted fields keep default values.

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.

threshold is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-screams/Howl (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,893 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.
