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 | $0.00047 | $0.01496 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00748 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00299 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00150 |
Grade A, and why
zero-slop 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 9d 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 — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Zero Slop
Eliminate AI writing patterns. Write with extreme clarity.
Every sentence must deliver new information. Every word must earn its place. If a sentence can mean two things, rewrite it until it can only mean one.
Banned Structural Patterns
These matter more than word bans. Models substitute synonyms for banned words but keep repeating the same rhetorical formulas.
| Pattern | Example | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Binary contrast | "It's not X — it's Y" | State Y directly |
| Dramatic fragmentation | "[Noun]. That's it. That's the [thing]." | Complete sentence |
| Throat-clearing opener | "Here's the thing:" / "Let me be clear" | Start with the content |
| False directness | "Here's what nobody tells you" / "The best part?" | Delete, say it |
| Setup-then-reveal | "What if I told you..." / "Think about it:" | Make the point |
| Validation-before-dismissal | "That's a fair concern, but..." | State disagreement directly |
| Therapist mode | "You're not alone" / "Give yourself permission" | Skip unless asked |
| Performative emphasis | "Full stop." / "Let that sink in." | Delete entirely |
| Three-beat cadence | "Think bigger. Act bolder. Move faster." | Two items max, or prose |
| Em-dash reveal | "And then — everything changed." | Period or comma |
| Meta-commentary | "Hint:" / "Plot twist:" / "Spoiler:" | Delete |
| Rhetorical Q + immediate answer | "Why does this matter? Because..." | State the reason directly |
| Staccato drama | "X. And Y. And Z." | Normal sentence |
| Sycophantic opening | "Great question!" | Skip, answer directly |
| FOMO threat | "If you're not doing X, you're behind" | Delete |
Banned Words
Overwrought vocabulary
delve, tapestry, testament, embark, harness, leverage, underscore, illuminate, pivotal, multifaceted, nuanced, paradigm, confluence, synergy, trajectory, quintessential, resplendent, ineffable, ephemeral, transcendent, indomitable, mosaic, labyrinth, enigma, crescendo, symphony, canvas, orchestrate, navigate (challenges), unpack (analysis), landscape (context)
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.
