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 | $0.00030 | $0.00451 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00226 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
validate-bib 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 9d 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.
This is a copy
89% identical to validate-bib — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Validate Bibliography
Cross-reference all citations in lecture files against bibliography entries.
Steps
-
Read the bibliography file and extract all citation keys
-
Scan all document files for citation keys:
.texfiles: look for\cite{,\citet{,\citep{,\citeauthor{,\citeyear{.qmdfiles: look for@key,[@key],[@key1; @key2].typfiles: look for@keyreferences (Typst uses@keysyntax, no\citet/\citepdistinction)- Also check for
#bibliography("refs.bib")or#bibliography("refs.yml")(Hayagriva format) in.typfiles - Note: some Typst projects use inline links instead of bibliography — detect and report
- Extract all unique citation keys used
-
Cross-reference:
- Missing entries: Citations used in lectures but NOT in bibliography
- Unused entries: Entries in bibliography not cited anywhere
- Potential typos: Similar-but-not-matching keys
-
Check entry quality for each bib entry:
- Required fields present (author, title, year, journal/booktitle)
- Author field properly formatted
- Year is reasonable
- No malformed characters or encoding issues
-
Report findings:
- List of missing bibliography entries (CRITICAL)
- List of unused entries (informational)
- List of potential typos in citation keys
- List of quality issues
Files to scan:
Slides/*.tex
Quarto/*.qmd
**/*.typ
Bibliography location:
Bibliography_base.bib (repo root)
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.
