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 | $0.00000 | $0.01297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00259 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00130 |
Grade A, and why
diataxis 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Diátaxis
Reference: https://diataxis.fr
The four modes are the meta-framework the artifact skills sit inside. This skill forces the mode pick the artifact skills assume. Pick one mode per document before writing; a doc that needs two modes is two documents.
Cheapest layer first
Doc work escalates up the user-CLAUDE.md ladder; reach for a
Diátaxis doc only when the cheaper layer can't carry the knowledge:
inline comment → docstring → Diátaxis doc → repo-local CLAUDE.md
→ ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.
A non-obvious why is a comment. An interface contract is a docstring.
Reach a docs/ artifact only for knowledge shared across the project
that no closer layer holds.
Defer to the artifact skills
readme, contributing, adr, changelog own their specific
artifacts. This skill owns the meta-mode for everything else under
docs/. When both could apply, the artifact skill wins — a README is a
README, not a "reference doc."
Pick the mode
Two axes: action vs cognition (do something / understand something), acquisition vs application (studying / working).
| Mode | Axis | Serves | Reader |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tutorial | action + acquisition | learning by doing | newcomer, no prior context |
| How-to | action + application | a goal at work | practitioner who knows the goal |
| Reference | cognition + application | a fact at work | practitioner who needs to look it up |
| Explanation | cognition + acquisition | understanding | someone studying the why |
Smell test before writing: is the reader learning, doing, looking up, or understanding? One answer. If two, split the doc.
Tutorial
- Purpose — a lesson. The reader ends able to do the thing, having done it once under guidance.
- Audience — a newcomer with no prior context; assume nothing.
- Shape — a single guaranteed-success path, concrete and hand-held. Author owns every step; the reader only follows.
- Anti-patterns
- Over-explaining mechanics — why belongs in explanation; the tutorial just has the reader do it.
- Assuming the reader will deviate or offering branches — one path, no choices.
- Reference-style completeness — list only what this lesson touches, not every option.
- Leaving a step that can fail on a clean machine — a tutorial that doesn't reproduce isn't a lesson.
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.

diataxis is a skill published in the GitHub repository alunduil/alunduil-chezmoi (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed 0BSD. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,297 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
batch-grill-me
A relentless interview that asks every frontier question at once, round by round.
dotfiles-bootstrap
Bootstrap a workstation with the dotfiles framework. Takes a GitHub user / owner+repo / explicit clone URL and runs dot init (which shells out to chezmoi) with the right safety prompts. Honors the active agent profile (ask / plan / apply / audit) so it defaults to dry-run in safer modes and full apply in apply.
vibe
Delegate a coding task to a cheap AI model (Mistral Vibe by default, but any provider Vibe knows about — DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, etc.) and supervise the result via git diff. Claude orchestrates, the cheap model codes. Claude consumes 500-1500 tokens per delegation regardless of how many file reads the delegate does…
aiq-research
Use when asked to run deep research or AI-Q research through a reachable NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint backend.
telegram
Send notifications, interactive questions, or multiple-choice polls to the user via Telegram. Use when the user asks to be notified ("ping me", "notify me on Telegram", "ask me when..."), when a long-running task finishes and the user is likely away, when an irreversible action needs out-of-band confirmation, or when…
repo-activity
Scan all git repositories under /repos and report recent activity — last commit age, branch, uncommitted changes — in age-bucketed tables. Use when the user asks for a repo activity overview, "what have I been working on", portfolio status, or which repos are active/dormant.
