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 | $0.00013 | $0.04129 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.02065 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00826 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00413 |
Grade A, and why
mock-detection 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 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

88% identical to mock-detection — 1,044 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.

Mock Detection
Prompt template for deep mock appropriateness analysis using call graph tracing. Designed for a Sonnet sub-agent to detect T1-T4 violations and track violation scope.
When to Use This Skill
This is an internal skill loaded by the orchestrator during Test Audit pipeline.
| Context | Action |
|---|---|
/test-audit invoked |
Orchestrator loads this skill for Stage 2 |
| Test Audit pipeline triggered by hook | Orchestrator loads this skill for Stage 2 |
| Need deep mock analysis | Load directly as prompt template for Sonnet |
| Files flagged by test-classification | Analyze only needs_deep_analysis: true files |
DO NOT use for:
- Direct user invocation (not user-invocable)
- Surface-level classification (use
test-classificationskill) - Full audit synthesis (use
test-auditskill)
Role in Test Audit Pipeline
This skill provides the second stage prompt template:
test-audit (P0.8) orchestrates:
Stage 1: test-classification (Haiku) → classification YAML
Stage 2: mock-detection (Sonnet) → violations YAML ← THIS SKILL
Stage 3: synthesis (Sonnet) → audit report
The orchestrator loads this skill and constructs a 4-part prompt for a general-purpose Sonnet sub-agent.
4-Part Prompt Template
GOAL
Analyze flagged test files for T1-T4 violations using mock appropriateness rubric and call graph analysis. Track the full scope of each violation for test effectiveness calculation.
CONSTRAINTS
- Do NOT modify any files
- Only analyze files with
needs_deep_analysis: truefrom classification - Use call graph analysis to detect broken integration chains
- Track violation scope (all affected lines, not just violation line)
- Provide full context for each violation (line, snippet, reason, fix)
- Complete within 50 tool calls
CONTEXT
Classification output: {classification_yaml_path}
Files to analyze: List of files with needs_deep_analysis: true
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.

mock-detection is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashaykubal/essential-agents-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 4,129 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). It is 88% identical to mock-detection, differing in 1,044 lines, and is treated as a copy.
