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 | $0.00039 | $0.00546 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00218 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00109 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00055 |
Grade A, and why
alliances 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 1mo 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
Alliance Awareness
Reference data: data/alliances.json
Star Alliance, oneworld, and SkyTeam determine which loyalty programs can book which airlines. This is fundamental to award travel. When recommending an award booking, always verify the airline and the booking program are in the same alliance (or have a bilateral partnership).
Key Booking Relationships
- United MileagePlus books Star Alliance (ANA, Lufthansa, Singapore, Turkish, etc.)
- Aeroplan books Star Alliance plus extended partners (including Etihad, Emirates on some routes)
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club books ANA, Delta, Air France, KLM (cross-alliance)
- AAdvantage books oneworld (Cathay, JAL, Qantas, Qatar, BA, etc.)
- Flying Blue books SkyTeam (Air France, KLM, Delta, Korean Air, etc.)
- Korean Air SKYPASS books SkyTeam
- Avianca LifeMiles books Star Alliance (often cheaper than United/Aeroplan)
Recent Alliance Changes
Verify against data/alliances.json for current state. These have shifted recently:
- SAS moved from Star Alliance to SkyTeam (September 2024)
- ITA Airways left SkyTeam (early 2025), joining Star Alliance (first half 2026)
- Fiji Airways upgraded to full oneworld member (2025)
- Hawaiian Airlines joining oneworld (April 2026)
Cross-Alliance Bookings Are Where Real Value Hides
The best redemptions often involve booking an airline through a program in a DIFFERENT alliance (or no alliance at all). Always check the cross_alliance_highlights section of data/alliances.json and data/partner-awards.json.
Examples of cross-alliance plays:
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club books ANA First Class (legendary sweet spot)
- Etihad Guest books AAdvantage routes
- Alaska Mileage Plan books Starlux (independent airline)
Partner Awards Reference
For the full picture of which programs ticket which airlines, plus bilateral partnerships outside alliances, load the partner-awards skill or read data/partner-awards.json directly.
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.

alliances is a skill published in the GitHub repository borski/travel-hacking-toolkit (712 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 546 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
