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 | $0.00088 | $0.03975 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01988 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00795 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00398 |
Grade A, and why
~aod-kickstart 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 3d 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.

/aod.kickstart Skill
Purpose
Transform a project idea into a sequenced consumer guide with 6-10 seed features ready for the AOD lifecycle. The skill runs three stages:
- Idea Intake -- Capture the project idea, target user, and key capabilities through structured prompts
- Stack Selection -- Detect an active stack pack or guide the developer to select/describe a stack
- Guide Generation -- Produce a consumer guide at
docs/guides/CONSUMER_GUIDE_{PROJECT_NAME}.mdwith setup phases, a feature summary table, and per-feature seed blocks ordered for incremental value delivery
Each seed feature block is structured for direct copy-paste into /aod.discover.
Prerequisites Check
Before starting, validate the output directory exists.
- Use Glob to check for
docs/guides/directory - If
docs/guides/does not exist, display the following error and stop:
ERROR: docs/guides/ directory not found.
Run `make init` to set up project structure.
Do not proceed to Stage 1 until docs/guides/ is confirmed to exist.
Stage 1: Idea Intake
Capture the project idea through 5 structured prompts. Store responses in variables for use in later stages.
Step 1.1: Capture Idea Description
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Describe your project idea (what are you building and why?)"
Store the response as {idea_description}.
Vagueness validation (FR-014): Count the words in the response. If fewer than 20 words, ask for elaboration:
Question: "Your idea description is brief. Add more detail about what the project does, the problem it solves, or key workflows (aim for 2-3 sentences)."
Allow up to 2 rounds of clarification. If still under 20 words after 2 rounds, accept the response as-is and proceed with a note:
Note: Idea description is brief. The generated guide may need refinement.
Step 1.2: Capture Target User
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Who is the target user for this project?"
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

~aod-kickstart is a skill published in the GitHub repository davidmatousek/agentic-oriented-development-kit (22 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 3,975 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
