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 | $0.00013 | $0.00530 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00265 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00106 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
docs-standards 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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to docs-standards — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Context
Squad documentation follows the Microsoft Style Guide with Squad-specific conventions. Consistency across docs builds trust and improves discoverability.
Patterns
Microsoft Style Guide Rules
- Sentence-case headings: "Getting started" not "Getting Started"
- Active voice: "Run the command" not "The command should be run"
- Second person: "You can configure..." not "Users can configure..."
- Present tense: "The system routes..." not "The system will route..."
- No ampersands in prose: "and" not "&" (except in code, brand names, or UI elements)
Squad Formatting Patterns
- Scannability first: Paragraphs for narrative (3-4 sentences max), bullets for scannable lists, tables for structured data
- "Try this" prompts at top: Start feature/scenario pages with practical prompts users can copy
- Experimental warnings: Features in preview get callout at top
- Cross-references at bottom: Related pages linked after main content
Structure
- Title (H1) → Warning/callout → Try this code → Overview → HR → Content (H2 sections)
Test Sync Rule
- Always update test assertions: When adding docs pages to
features/,scenarios/,guides/, update correspondingEXPECTED_*arrays intest/docs-build.test.tsin the same commit
Examples
✓ Correct:
# Getting started with Squad
> ⚠️ **Experimental:** This feature is in preview.
Try this:
\`\`\`bash
squad init
\`\`\`
Squad helps you build AI teams...
---
## Install Squad
Run the following command...
✗ Incorrect:
# Getting Started With Squad // Title case
Squad is a tool which will help users... // Third person, future tense
You can install Squad with npm & configure it... // Ampersand in prose
Anti-Patterns
- Title-casing headings because "it looks nicer"
- Writing in passive voice or third person
- Long paragraphs of dense text (breaks scannability)
- Adding doc pages without updating test assertions
- Using ampersands outside code blocks
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.

docs-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository alonf/specrew (54 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 530 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to docs-standards, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
