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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00103 | $0.00839 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00419 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00168 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00084 |
Grade A, and why
agentic-search 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 4d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

How to invoke
All scripts use PEP 723 inline deps — always invoke via uv run. Allow up to 3 minutes per call.
uv run scripts/agentic_search.py --query "..." [--extra-sources N] [--auto-fetch-top N] [--platform "..."]
uv run scripts/agentic_fetch.py --url "..." [--engine auto|tavily|firecrawl|grok]
uv run scripts/agentic_map.py --url "..." [--instructions "..."] [--limit N]
uv run scripts/agentic_extract.py --url "..." [--session-id S]
uv run scripts/agentic_rank.py --query "..." --session-id S
uv run scripts/agentic_get_sources.py --list | --session-id S
Session workflow
agentic_search generates a session_id persisted to disk — the connective tissue for composing steps:
agentic_search → session_id
├─→ agentic_rank --session-id S --query Q (rerank in place; mutates session)
├─→ agentic_extract --session-id S --url U (append verbatim quotes)
└─→ agentic_get_sources --session-id S (inspect full session)
Sessions survive between invocations but may be cleared on OS reboot.
Operating discipline
Load the relevant reference before composing a non-trivial query — don't load all four upfront.
references/search-discipline.md— two-pass methodology, citation contract, time-context heuristic. Read for research tasks.references/fetch-fidelity.md— engine trade-offs, fidelity guarantees, when not to fetch. Read before presenting extracted content.references/extract-and-rank.md— extract vs fetch, when to rank, session composition patterns. Read for multi-step workflows.references/provider-quirks.md— env vars, provider schemas, retry policy, debugging. Read when configuring or debugging.
What ships with it

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.
- 4d ago First seen · 59 lines · 103 tokens per session scan A f1504010e1d9
agentic-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository appautomaton/webmaton (19 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 839 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
opencli-usage
Use at the start of any OpenCLI session — this is the top-level map of what opencli can do, how to discover adapters, what flags and output formats are universal, and which specialized skill to load next. Point here when an agent asks "what can opencli do?" or "how do I find the right command?".
opencli-sitemap-author
Use when creating or maintaining OpenCLI site sitemaps: agent-facing navigation, page-state, action, workflow, API-reference, pitfall, and fallback knowledge for a website. Use after browser exploration discovers durable site context, when a sitemap is stale, or when promoting local site knowledge into the repo.
pinchtab-mcp
Use this skill when a task requires browser automation through PinchTab's MCP server connected to a remote browser instance. Covers navigation, element interaction, data extraction, form filling, multi-step flows, and session management via MCP tools.
pinchtab-stealth-score
Run the PinchTab stealth-score sweep against 15 bot-detection / fingerprint sites (sannysoft, rebrowser, deviceandbrowserinfo, iphey, whoer, browserscan, pixelscan, fingerprint-scan, incolumitas, fvision, amiunique, browserleaks, creepjs, coveryourtracks, fingerprint-demo).

openbot-data-access
Governs how the OpenBot browser app reads and writes server data — every request goes through client in app/src/lib/client.ts, every read is a queryOptions factory in app/src/lib/ /queries.ts, every write is a mutationOptions factory in app/src/lib/ /mutations.ts, and components consume them through…
