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 | $0.00055 | $0.00780 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00312 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00156 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
write-latex 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 8d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Write LaTeX
Apply the LaTeX conventions from the reference files below when creating or editing LaTeX source.
Core Principles
- Semantic markup over visual hacks -- use the right command for its meaning, not for its appearance
- Standard compliance -- follow AMS, ISO 80000-2, and IEEE conventions
- No deprecated constructs -- never use
$$,eqnarray,\def,\centerline,\over, or two-letter font commands - Macro discipline -- define
\newcommandmacros for recurring notation so a single edit propagates everywhere
Workflow
- Review against the essential checklist:
./references/essential/checklist.md - For specific questions, consult the comprehensive references below

What ships with it

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.

write-latex is a skill published in the GitHub repository cboone/agent-harness-plugins (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 780 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 2026-09-03.
