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 | $0.00037 | $0.00385 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00154 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00077 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
ask 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
Ask Skill — Codebase Question Router
Answer a question about the codebase by routing to the most effective tool.
Don't search files manually when a smarter tool exists.
Routing Rules
Architecture / flow / how does X work / trace a call
Use mcp__codebase-memory__trace_path or mcp__codebase-memory__get_architecture.
Zero file reads. 120× fewer tokens than manual exploration.
Find / search / locate / what file / which function
Use mcp__cocoindex-code__search with a semantic query.
Finds code by meaning, not exact text — useful when you don't know the exact name.
Safe to change / impact / blast radius / what breaks / risk score
Use mcp__code-review-graph__detect_changes_tool with base_branch="main".
Reports: risk score 0–100, blast radius, breaking changes, dependent modules.
General code question (narrow, specific file, no plugin fits)
Read the file directly. Grep for the symbol.
Decision Logic
- Contains architecture/flow/trace/how/explain → codebase-memory-mcp
- Contains find/search/locate/where/what file → cocoindex-code
- Contains safe/impact/blast/breaks/risk/change → code-review-graph
- None of the above → read directly
Answer Format
- Tool used and why
- Finding (file path + line if applicable)
- Surprising cross-module connections revealed by the graph (if any)
If no tool gives a clear answer, fall back to reading relevant files.
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.

ask is a skill published in the GitHub repository brain-bootstrap/claude-code-brain-bootstrap (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 385 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

implement
TRIGGER when: user asks to implement, fix, build, or work on something — whether from a docs/feat/wip plan OR a standalone task (bug fix, GitHub issue, one-off change). Examples: "work on task 1", "fix this bug", "implement feature X from the issue". Provides structured execution with profile detection, dependency…
document
After implementing a new feature or fixing a bug, make sure to document the changes. Use when writing documentation, after finishing the implementation phase for a feature or a bug-fix.
debug-optimize-lcp
Guides debugging and optimizing Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) using Chrome DevTools MCP tools. Use this skill whenever the user asks about LCP performance, slow page loads, Core Web Vitals optimization, or wants to understand why their page's main content takes too long to appear. Also use when the user mentions…
systematic-debugging
Use when debugging a failing test, build error, or runtime issue that isn't immediately obvious. Guides a 4-phase root cause analysis instead of random fix attempts.
repro-admin
Reproduce an EmDash admin UI bug. Attach a container, start the demo dev server, drive the admin with agent-browser using the dev-bypass session, and capture the reproduction as screenshots plus a replayable transcript.
log-error-digest
Analyze log files to troubleshoot errors, identify peak error periods, and produce error clustering, frequency statistics, and time distribution reports. Supports JSON, syslog, and Nginx formats with automatic detection. Use when a user uploads a .log file and asks to analyze errors, find patterns, debug issues, or…
