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 | $0.00019 | $0.00377 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00188 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
alive-mine scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Nightly Mine
Scan recent session transcripts for unmined context.
Process
- Find session transcripts from the last 24 hours:
find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels" -name "*.yaml" -mtime -1 2>/dev/null
-
For each session entry:
- Read the YAML for
transcript:path - If transcript exists and hasn't been mined, read it
- Extract: decisions, tasks, people context, insights, quotes
- Read the YAML for
-
Group extractions by destination walnut
-
Write to
.alive/stash.jsonwith routing suggestions (don't route directly)
Output
Mined [N] sessions, extracted [M] items:
[N] decisions
[N] tasks
[N] people updates
[N] insights
[N] quotes
Items added to stash for routing via alive-stash-router.
If nothing found: [SILENT]
Rules
- Extract, don't route. Items go to stash for human approval.
- Mark sessions as mined (touch a
.minedflag file alongside the YAML) - Skip sessions that are already mined
- Skip sessions shorter than 5 turns (likely trivial)
- Be conservative -- only extract clear decisions and explicit tasks, not inferences
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.

alive-mine is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivecontext/alive (127 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 377 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
