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 | $0.00027 | $0.00269 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00134 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00054 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
collapse-unearned-complexity 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 11d 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
When To Use
Load this when a structure has more moving parts than the job earns: extra layers, roles, processes, abstractions, prompts, documents, metrics, or governance that do not buy enough reliability.
The skill owns structural simplification. It removes unnecessary machinery while preserving the function that matters.
Do Not Use
Do not use this to force a decision, diagnose a broken system, calibrate tone, choose the user's mode, or package a recommendation. If the problem is not structural excess, do not collapse it.
What To Do
- Identify the job the structure must actually perform.
- Separate load-bearing parts from decorative or defensive parts.
- Remove, merge, or defer layers that do not change the outcome or reduce meaningful risk.
- Keep the smallest structure that still supports correct action, maintenance, and verification.
- Avoid replacing complexity with vagueness; the simplified form still needs a clear owner and check.
Output Shape
Return the simplification: current moving parts, what each buys, what can be removed, and the lean version that remains.
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.

collapse-unearned-complexity is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cody-W-Tucker/Cognitive-Assistant (11 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 269 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
