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 | $0.00056 | $0.00459 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00184 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
failure-handling 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 1mo 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
Failure Handling
Consumers: /kon:team,
/kon:quick,
/kon:debug.
Core principles (always): follow skills/core-principles — first principles (don't hide the issue); simplest, most concise correct solution.
Mio blocks (NEEDS_CHANGES / BLOCKED)
- Do not forward Mio's output through the orchestrator — full review is in
sessions/<SID>/review.md(subagentStop hook on team/quick/debug/review). - Resume 🎶 Yui (do not respawn with full
agents/Yui.mdifget-task-agenthas an id) — delta prompt: readreview.md, fix each must-fix by number. - Resume 🧹 Sawako when applicable — delta prompt only (files changed, no review body).
- Resume 📝 Mio (do not respawn with full
strict-reviewif id exists) — delta prompt: re-readreview.md, verify each prior must-fix item-by-item.
See skills/teammate-flow Implementation loop — Task resume.
Infinite-loop protection
- Mio blocks the same must-fix 2 consecutive times → stop, ask the user (the plan itself may be the problem)
"Same must-fix" definition: Mio's must-fix item points to the same file + same function/section + same category of problem. Yui changing the wording or the approach but leaving the root problem in place still counts as the same item.
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.

failure-handling is a skill published in the GitHub repository dentiny/kon (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 459 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
