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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.02436 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00974 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00487 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00244 |
Grade A, and why
katashiro-canvas-writing 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 4d 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
katashiro-canvas-writing
A markdown canvas is a document the user reads beside the chat. Plain paragraphs and bullet lists work, but the canvas has blocks that make a document scannable. This skill says which block for which job, the few syntaxes that break, and how to edit without fighting the editor.
Requirements
- The current chat is a Katashiro chat, so
katashiro.canvas_*tools are available. - For a page the user should interact with (sort, filter, simulate), use an
htmlcanvas instead, and thekatashiro-canvas-fileskill to upload it. For an interactive system diagram, usekatashiro-archify. This skill is aboutmarkdown(andslides) canvases.
1. Pick the block by what the content is
| The content is… | Write it as | Not as |
|---|---|---|
| 2–4 parallel things to compare (options, axes, principles) | ::: cards with one ### per card |
three paragraphs in a row |
| A rule, a warning, a caveat the reader must not miss | > [!NOTE] / [!TIP] / [!IMPORTANT] / [!WARNING] / [!CAUTION] (optional title after the marker) |
bold text in a paragraph |
| A short good/bad example line | > ✅ … / > ⚠️ … / > ℹ️ … (emoji callout, no title row; only these three, and the emoji must be the first character — ❌ / 💡 stay a plain quote) |
a quote with no colour |
| Fields, options, numbers with several attributes | a table (header row, ---: for numbers) |
nested bullets |
| Terms and their meanings, events and when they fire | definition list: Term then : meaning on the next line |
**Term**: meaning paragraphs |
| An enum or a list of values | a bullet list, one value per line | a · b · c · d on one line |
| A source, a version, an aside | a footnote [^1] with [^1]: … at the end |
parentheses in the sentence |
| The one phrase that carries the point | ==highlight== (once or twice per document) |
bold everywhere |
| Something that is not what it seems | ++underline++ sparingly |
ALL CAPS |
| Architecture, flow, sequence | a ```mermaid fence (see §3) |
an ASCII drawing |
| Code, JSON, commands | a fenced block with its language | inline code for multi-line text |
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.
