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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00099 | $0.01411 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00564 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00282 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00141 |
Grade A, and why
briefing 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 5d 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites
bridge-config.yamlwithwork.enabled: true. If not: offer setup.- Standing orders are loaded at session start (per CLAUDE.md). If
/briefingis invoked standalone (e.g. via cron or a long-running session), manually loadprotocols/standing-orders/*.mdandprotocols/standing-orders/user/*.mdbefore Phase 1 — theapplicationssurface logic in Stream C depends on them, and an applications order is user-tier (a*.mdglob alone does not reachuser/).
What ships with it
8 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.

briefing is a skill published in the GitHub repository bks-lab/open-bridge (13 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 1,411 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
