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 | $0.00016 | $0.00372 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00149 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00074 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
format 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 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.

format is a skill published in the GitHub repository Ckokoski/AuthorAgent (124 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 372 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.

surfsense-documents
Make or change a Word document (.docx), a PDF, a PowerPoint deck (.pptx) or an Excel workbook (.xlsx) by writing a Python script that surfsenserenderdocument runs, optionally starting from a source's own Word or PowerPoint file. Load it whenever the user asks for one of these, or for a change to one you made.
hive.pdf
Read, write, merge, split, rotate, watermark, encrypt, and OCR PDF files using Python (pypdf, pdfplumber, reportlab, pypdfium2) and command-line tools (poppler-utils, qpdf). Use when the user asks to extract text/tables/images from a PDF, create or modify a PDF, combine or split PDFs, OCR a scanned PDF…
surfsense-pdf
Work on PDFs the user has, or PDFs in Studio, without changing them - merge, take out, split, turn or reorder pages, add a watermark, page numbers, a header or a footer, and list or fill a form's fields. Load it whenever the user asks for one of these on a PDF.
