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 | $0.00034 | $0.00170 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00085 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00034 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00017 |
Grade A, and why
principle-deep-agents-narrow-seams 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
Deep Agents, Narrow Seams
Give each agent one job behind this interface: the declared predecessor artifacts in, one bounded output back—an artifact written to disk or a report returned as text.
- Use one predecessor where sufficient; never inspect undeclared agent state.
- Let the dispatcher persist returned reports that must outlive the turn.
- Keep routing, sibling retries, and the phase table in the orchestrator.
- Split utility agents that perform unrelated jobs.
- Require helpers to work directly and never spawn further sub-agents.
- State a short maximum for helper replies; the dispatcher owns relayed content.
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.

principle-deep-agents-narrow-seams is a skill published in the GitHub repository bostonaholic/team (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 170 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
