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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00133 | $0.03728 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00053 | $0.01491 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00746 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00373 |
Grade A, and why
aid-summarize 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 26d 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Knowledge Base Visual Summary
State machine: PREFLIGHT -> STALE-CHECK -> PROFILE -> GENERATE -> VALIDATE -> MANUAL-CHECKLIST -> FIX -> APPROVAL -> WRITEBACK -> DONE.
Generates a single self-contained kb.html from a populated and approved
.aid/knowledge/ Knowledge Base. The output is a newcomer-facing product — visually
rich, plain-language, and distinct from the KB itself (which is a dual-audience technical
artifact for humans + AI agents). The KB's authoring rules (no diagrams, tables/bullets)
apply to the KB; they do NOT constrain the summary's format.
The section set is derived data-drivenly from the resolved doc-set
(discovery.doc_set in .aid/settings.yml intersected with docs present on disk),
one section per resolved doc. Each section's attributes (heading, description, component,
tier, keyword pills, cross-links) come from that doc's frontmatter (kb-category,
objective, summary, tags, see_also). Section order is deterministic and
reproducible from the same inputs.
Prerequisite: /aid-discover must have reached DONE and the user must have
approved the KB. This skill does NOT validate KB content — that is discovery's job.
Idempotent: Running /aid-summarize repeatedly on an unchanged KB is a no-op.
It only regenerates the HTML when the KB has been re-reviewed since the last
summarization.
⚠️ Pre-flight Checks
Run .aid/runtime/scripts/summarize/summarize-preflight.sh before any state. It verifies:
.aid/knowledge/STATE.mdexists.**User Approved:** yesis present in.aid/knowledge/STATE.md.- At least one populated KB document exists (
.aid/knowledge/*.mdwith real content). - Not in Plan Mode (need write access).
- Node.js >= 22 is available (required for visual-fidelity validation via
validate-visuals.mjs).
If any check fails, the script exits non-zero with a clear actionable message. Do NOT proceed; do NOT create any state files.
Arguments
| Argument | Effect |
|---|---|
--grade X |
Override the minimum acceptable grade. Format: [A-F][-+]?. Without this, runs bash .aid/runtime/scripts/config/read-setting.sh --skill summary --key minimum_grade --default A (resolves per-skill override → global review.minimum_grade → default A). When passed, persist to .aid/settings.yml summary.minimum_grade via /aid-config. |
--theme palette=X |
Override color palette (e.g., --theme palette=brand-acme). Default uses the canonical palette in .aid/runtime/templates/knowledge-summary/design-tokens.md. |
--reset |
Force regeneration regardless of staleness check; clears ## Knowledge Summary Status in .aid/knowledge/STATE.md. |

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.

aid-summarize is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndreVianna/aid-methodology (6 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 3,728 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
