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 | $0.00070 | $0.01618 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00809 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00324 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00162 |
Grade A, and why
ciphr scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CIPHR (via Apideck)
Access CIPHR through Apideck's HRIS unified API — one of 58 HRIS connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to BambooHR, Workday, Deel and 54 other HRIS connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant CIPHR plumbing.
Beta connector. CIPHR is currently in beta on Apideck. Expect partial resource coverage and occasional mapping gaps. Always verify coverage (see below) and fall back to the Proxy API for unsupported operations.
Quick facts
- Apideck serviceId:

When to use this skill
Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with CIPHR — for example, "sync employees in CIPHR" or "list time-off requests in CIPHR". This skill teaches the agent:
- Which Apideck unified API covers CIPHR (HRIS)
- The correct
serviceIdto pass on every call (ciphr) - CIPHR-specific auth and coverage caveats
For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:
apideck-node,apideck-python,apideck-dotnet,apideck-java,apideck-go,apideck-php, orapideck-rest
For the raw OpenAPI spec:
Minimal example (TypeScript)
import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";
const apideck = new Apideck({
apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});
// List employees in CIPHR
const { data } = await apideck.hris.employees.list({
serviceId: "ciphr",
});
What ships with it
1 file 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.

ciphr is a skill published in the GitHub repository apideck-libraries/api-skills (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,618 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 84% identical to acerta, differing in 63 lines, and is treated as a copy.

component-family-consistency
Buttons, inputs, pills, badges, calendars, and other interactive components form a visual family — they share the same border-radius, colour logic, shadow scale, border style, and spacing rhythm. Inconsistency between them breaks the sense of a coherent product. Use when building or reviewing a component library…
extract-design
Extract a complete design system — colors, typography, spacing, components, shadows, and W3C design tokens — from any live website using Dembrandt. Runs a headless browser against the URL and returns real computed values from the DOM. Use when you need a site's actual design tokens, want to reverse-engineer a visual…
modular-scale-typography
Typography feels cohesive and intentional when font sizes follow a modular scale — a ratio-based sequence where every size is mathematically related to the others. Use when defining type scales, setting up design tokens, reviewing font size choices, or when typography feels inconsistent or arbitrary.
brand-visual-language
A brand's visual tone — playful or serious, rounded or angular — should be consistent across all UI elements. Shape language in typography, border-radius, and iconography communicates personality before a single word is read. Use when establishing a design system, choosing icon libraries, setting border-radius tokens…
data-display-and-selection
Complex data deserves multiple view modes — grid, list, table — chosen by the user based on their task. Row and item selection should use large hit areas (the whole row or card, not just a checkbox). Selected state is communicated through a subtle background colour shift. Mass actions appear when items are selected.…
generate-ui-from-brand
Pipeline skill — turns a URL or DESIGN.md into a concrete UI structure with decisions already made. Extracts live design tokens, normalizes them into a semantic system, applies UX principles, and outputs an actionable UI spec. Use when building UI for an existing brand from scratch, auditing a design system, or…
