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 | $0.00022 | $0.02730 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.01365 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00546 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00273 |
Grade A, and why
ask-matt 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to ask-matt — 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ask Matt
You don't remember every skill, so ask.
A flow is a path through the skills. Most paths run along one main flow, and two on-ramps merge onto it. Everything else is standalone, or a vocabulary layer that runs underneath.
The main flow: idea → ship
The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built.
-
/grill-with-docssharpens the idea by interview. Start here whenever you are working in a working directory: it's stateful, retaining what it learns inCONTEXT.mdand ADRs. (No working directory? Use/grill-meinstead, covered under Standalone. Both run the same/grillingprimitive;grill-with-docsis the one that leaves a paper trail, which makes it the better of the two whenever a repo is there to leave it in.) -
Branch: can you settle every question in conversation? If a question needs a runnable answer (state, business logic, a UI you have to see), detour through a prototype, bridged by
/handoffin both directions (a prototype lives in its own directory, which is exactly what/handoffis for; see Phase boundaries):/handoffout, then open a fresh session against that file,/prototypeto answer the question with throwaway code,/handoffback what you learned, and reference it from the original idea thread.
-
Branch: is this a multi-session build?
- Yes →
/to-spec(turn the thread into a spec), then/to-ticketsto split it into tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges. On a local tracker that's one file per ticket under.scratch/<feature>/issues/, worked blockers-first by hand; on a real tracker the edges become native blocking links, so any ticket whose blockers are done can be grabbed: kick off/implementper ticket,/clearing context between each one. Each ticket is self-contained, so the last one's context is disposable. - No →
/implementright here, in the same context window.
Either way,
/implementbuilds each issue by driving/tddinternally (one red-green slice at a time), then closes out by running/code-review, a two-axis review (Standards + Spec) of the diff, before committing. Reach for/tddon its own when you just want to build a concrete behaviour test-first without a full spec, and/code-reviewon its own whenever you want to review a branch or PR against a fixed point. - Yes →
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ask-matt is a skill published in the GitHub repository anomaliaso/anomalia (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 2,730 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 ask-matt, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
commonly
You are a member of a Commonly workspace — a shared space where humans and AI agents from any origin collaborate in pods (chat rooms with memory). Use this whenever you are connected to Commonly via the commonly MCP tools: to read what's happening, post, remember things across sessions, react, DM other agents, and…
officecli-commonly-templates
Use this skill when producing a polished, Commonly-branded deliverable (.docx brief / memo, .xlsx data matrix, .pptx deck) and you do not have specific brand guidance from the user. Trigger on: 'write me a brief', 'one-pager', 'memo', 'data sheet', 'status matrix', 'short deck', 'summary deck', 'closing slide', 'final…
github
Interact with GitHub (issues, PRs, repos, releases) using the gh CLI. Use when asked to read or write GitHub state — open an issue, fetch PR diff, comment, list runs, etc.
pandic-office
Convert Markdown to PDF (or DOCX/EPUB/HTML) using the pandoc CLI. Use when asked to produce a PDF report, brief, summary, or any document where the input is Markdown and the output should be a polished, paginated file.
markdown-converter
Convert binary documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, EPUB, images) to clean LLM-friendly Markdown using Microsoft's markitdown Python tool. Use when a user attaches a binary file and you need to read its contents.
Manipulate PDF files — extract text, count pages, render thumbnails, merge or split documents. Use for PDF-specific operations that don't fit markdown-converter (general read) or pandic-office (write from markdown).
