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 | $0.00020 | $0.00511 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00255 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
alive-search 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 6d 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.

# Search insights
grep -rl "[query]" "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/*/_kernel/insights.md "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/*/*/_kernel/insights.md 2>/dev/null
# Search people
grep -rl "[query]" "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/02_Life/people/*/_kernel/key.md 2>/dev/null
# Search bundle manifests
grep -rl "[query]" "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/*/context.manifest.yaml "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/*/*/context.manifest.yaml 2>/dev/null

Exclude 01_Archive from results by default. Mention if matches exist there: "Also found in archive: [walnut]".
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.
- 6d ago First seen · 75 lines · 20 tokens per session scan A da605d987b75
alive-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivecontext/alive (127 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 511 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.

cco-budget
Configure token budget limits, auto-compact settings, and view current budget status (model-aware — Claude 5 lineup, Opus 5 default fallback, full 1M context at standard price).
cco-config
View and tune CCO's behavior thresholds — re-read warnings, cache staleness, prompt-coach length bands, and the /cco-pack budget cap.
cco-task
Organize work by task, track tokens/cost per task, and keep a small patchable execution state that is re-injected after /compact (SKILL.state-style) — start a task, patch its state, list tasks, or mark the active one done. Pairs with /cco-pack to load minimal context per task.
cco-patterns
Share learned file patterns across a team — export an anonymized digest of what's usually waste/useful/co-edited, and import a teammate's so a fresh clone benefits day one.
cco-coach
Analyze the user's last prompt for clarity, scope and specificity — give a quality score and concrete suggestions to make the next prompt produce better results.
cco-overhead
Audit the fixed context overhead every session starts with — system prompt, MCP tools, agents, CLAUDE.md, memory — measured from real transcript usage.
