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 | $0.00059 | $0.00307 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00153 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
grounded 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 3d 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.
What it actually says
Grounded
Every important factual claim needs a receipt the user can inspect. A receipt is a source, a file, or command output that supports the claim as written, not one that merely relates to the topic.
Rules
- Search before you draft. Do not write the claim first and look for support afterwards.
- Keep guesses out of the answer. Assumptions, predictions, and plausible-sounding detail stay separate from the verified part. Include them only if the user asked for possibilities, and label them.
- "I could not verify this" is a finished answer. Say it plainly. Do not soften it into something that sounds likely. Your own confidence is not a receipt.
- Cite local evidence exactly: the file path with a line number, the command you ran, the test that passed. Never cite a source you did not read.
- Cite web evidence at the passage, not the page. Prefer a text fragment link that opens on the supporting text. Fall back to an anchor link to the section, then to a plain page link, and say which one you used. Never invent a fragment, and never call a link a text fragment unless it works.
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.

grounded is a skill published in the GitHub repository asteasolutions/ai-toolkit (5 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 307 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
