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 | $0.00083 | $0.00325 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
suggest-alternative-commands 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.
What it actually says
suggest-alternative-commands
When you want to run one of the following commands, use the alternative command instead — but only when that alternative is installed in the environment:
rm→rm-dustfind→fd, orfdfind(iffdis not found)grep→rg
When the alternative is not installed
If the alternative for the command you want to run is not installed, report this to the user. How you proceed depends on whether you have been asked to act autonomously:
- Not asked to act autonomously: immediately report to the user that the alternative is not installed, and ask for their judgement before continuing
- Asked to act autonomously: report that the alternative is not installed — both immediately and again when the task finishes — then, since you are expected to act autonomously, continue by using the original command (
rm,find, orgrep, whichever you wanted)
NOTE:
This is about using alternative commands in your responses.
You can use rm, find, and grep when writing shell scripts.
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.

suggest-alternative-commands is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiya000/dotfiles (19 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.

restart__pull_request
A pull-request restart workflow for replacing a messy review with a new pull request containing one clean commit and a summary of the earlier discussion.
rescue__pull_request_review
An automated workflow for handling GitHub pull-request review comments, applying requested code changes, committing them, and pushing them back.
submit__pull_request
An automated pull-request submission workflow. A pull request is a request for a code change to be reviewed and merged; this workflow writes its explanation, creates it, watches its automated checks, and fixes failed checks.
write__pull_request
A workflow for writing a pull request description, the explanation attached to a proposed code change for review. It analyses the changes and commit history.
monitor__ci_status
An automated monitor for GitHub Actions, the service that runs checks such as tests after code changes. It watches all checks after a pull request or a push to a pull-request branch and can invoke a failure-recovery process.
rescue__pull_request_conflict
An automated procedure for resolving merge conflicts in a pull request branch. A merge conflict happens when Git cannot combine competing changes by itself.
