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 | $0.00030 | $0.00192 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00096 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00038 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
data-validation-first 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 4d 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.
What it actually says
Data Validation First
Before writing any analysis code, understand the data:
# Always run these first
df.shape # rows x columns
df.dtypes # column types
df.isnull().sum() # missing values per column
df.describe() # statistics for numeric columns
df.head() # sample rows
Key questions:
- Are there nulls in columns you'll join or filter on?
- Are numeric columns stored as strings? (parse_dates, astype)
- Are there unexpected duplicates (check primary key uniqueness)?
- Does the row count match your expectation from the source?
Anti-pattern: Running .groupby().sum() without first checking for nulls in the groupby key.
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.

data-validation-first is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiming-lab/MetaClaw (3,494 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 192 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 2026-08-30.
