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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00053 | $0.00524 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00262 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00105 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
inverted-pyramid 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 10d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Inverted pyramid documentation model
This skill provides editorial guidelines for structuring technical articles, README files, and documentation using the inverted pyramid model. It ensures you place high-value information at the beginning. This allows readers to extract value immediately, with details cascading downward.
1. Core philosophy: Information cascading
The inverted pyramid structure places the most critical, high-impact, or actionable information at the top. Secondary user details, operational steps, and low-impact implementation details follow:
graph TD
A["[High Value] Summary & core actions"] --> B["[Medium Value] Usage & setup"]
B --> C["[Detail Value] Development & testing"]
C --> D["[Low Value] Implementation & legal"]
2. README structural sequence
For README.md and user-facing project guides, documents must follow this exact sequence:
- Title and high-impact summary: A short, active hook explaining the project, the problem it solves, and its core capabilities.
- Prescribed actions: Immediate, copy-paste installation or execution commands. This is the highest-value action a user can take.
- User documentation and usage guides: Clear details on tools, prompts, command-line flags, and standard user workflows.
- Developer instructions: How to compile locally, execute test suites, run linters, and trigger release hooks.
- Development documentation: In-depth technical architecture, package structures, and internal mechanics.
- Legal and compliance: Copyright notices, license specifications, and support boundaries. This is the least active piece of information.
3. Writing principles
- Lead with action: don't hide installation instructions behind paragraphs of architectural theory. Let the user run the tool first.
- Vary reading depth: Ensure the document caters to three reading styles:
- The scanner: Reads the title and copies the quick-start command in seconds.
- The operator: Reads the usage tables and workflow guides in minutes.
- The contributor: Reads the build and architecture details in depth.
- Sentence case headings: Always keep headings in sentence case, prioritizing high-value nouns first.
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.

inverted-pyramid is a skill published in the GitHub repository danicat/speedgrapher (50 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 524 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
