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 | $0.00029 | $0.00209 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00105 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00042 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00021 |
Grade A, and why
principle-evidence-over-assertion 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.
What it actually says
Evidence Over Assertion
Give every verdict cited evidence from a command run, file:line read, or authoritative value re-queried; degrade unverifiable verdicts explicitly.
- Verify by re-querying, never by memory; zero exit proves acceptance, not resulting state, so re-read the authority.
- Allow No PASS without cited evidence; report unverifiable items at degraded confidence.
- Ground verdicts in named facts you observed; verify third-party claims at concrete file:line before adopting them.
- Treat reviewer or model agreement as corroboration, never proof or a substitute for your check.
- Verify a dependency claim by resolving it, never by reading a version range or a changelog; load the lowest version the range admits and call the API there, because that boundary is where a removed constant or a missing symbol actually breaks.
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-evidence-over-assertion is a skill published in the GitHub repository bostonaholic/team (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 209 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
