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 | $0.00084 | $0.00611 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00305 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00122 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00061 |
Grade A, and why
veles 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 7d 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
Veles — Statistician
Finds orphan documents, computes documentation metrics, detects dead zones, validates link hierarchy.
What it does
- Orphans — documents with zero inbound references from other docs
- Statistics — file count, word count, level distribution, link count
- Dead zones — folders with no references from main documentation tree
- Hierarchy validation — enforces L1→L2→L3→L4 reference direction
Link Hierarchy
L1 (Contracts) → L2 (Product Canon) → L3 (Engineering Canon) → L4 (Derived)
Upper levels reference lower levels. Veles flags violations (e.g., L3 referencing L1 directly).
Usage
# Via Chronos orchestrator
chronos --path . --preset full
# Direct invocation
python -m chronos.agents.veles --path .
Output Format
[nit] orphan: CONTRIBUTING.md — no inbound references from other documents
[info] stats: 12 documents, 4500 words, 3 levels, 28 links
[warning] hierarchy_violation: docs/ADR/001.md (L3) references contracts/openapi.yaml (L1) directly
[info] dead_zone: docs/legacy/ — no references from L1-L4

Loaded by Chronos as part of full preset only.
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.

veles is a skill published in the GitHub repository bestdeejay-design/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 611 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.

workflow
Use when a task is too large for turn-by-turn orchestration and should run through the big-task workflow lane: system-wide changes, large migrations, repo-wide audits, high-confidence verification, or tasks explicitly asking to run a workflow.
