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 | $0.00041 | $0.01065 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00532 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00213 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00106 |
Grade A, and why
write-spike 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 5d 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Write Spike
Produce a structured findings document that resolves enough uncertainty to let the product owner write a well-formed user story.
Input
$ARGUMENTS = the topic, question, or work area that is too uncertain to story-write directly.
Process
1. Gather Context
- Read the project's CLAUDE.md for architecture, domain language, and constraints
- Scan for a roadmap or backlog file if one exists (Glob for roadmap*, backlog*, TODO*)
- Identify any existing work or decisions that bear on the topic
2. Scope the Investigation
State clearly:
- The driving question: What specific question does this spike need to answer? Narrow to one well-formed question if the input is broad.
- Why now: What decision or story is blocked until this question is answered?
- Out of scope: What related questions will be explicitly deferred?
- Timebox: State a recommended investigation timebox (typically 1-2 days for a focused spike). The spike should produce findings within this window even if not all questions are fully resolved — partial findings with identified follow-ups are better than an unbounded investigation.
A spike that tries to answer three questions usually answers none well.
3. Explore the Topic
Research the topic through whatever means are available:
- Read relevant source files if the topic is code or architecture
- Search for documentation, prior art, or established patterns (WebSearch / WebFetch)
- Enumerate options or approaches with concrete trade-offs — not just "Option A vs Option B" but specific pros, cons, and constraints for this project
- Note sources and links for evidence that will be referenced in the output
When options involve architectural trade-offs (one-way doors, pattern selection, service boundaries), note that the findings should be reviewed by the Chief Architect before being used to seed a story. The spike documents options; architectural judgment belongs to the Chief Architect.
4. Assess Story Readiness
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-spike is a skill published in the GitHub repository cpliakas/claude-code-engineering-leaders (4 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,065 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
