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 | $0.00026 | $0.00619 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00248 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
guideline-reader 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Guideline Reader
You have access to language-specific coding guidelines for the target repository. The guidelines discovery table is already inlined in your prompt under "## Available Language Guidelines" — scan it now to see which languages are available.
The guidelines are organized as a hierarchy of markdown documents. Each language has a top-level index.md that links to category-specific files containing the actual rules. Do not stop at the top-level index — it is an index, not the guidelines themselves.
When to Read Guidelines
Consult the guidelines before you:
| Situation | Read from these categories |
|---|---|
| Write new code | All categories matching the language(s) in use |
| Handle errors | error-handling/ — wrapping, sentinel errors, error grading |
| Use goroutines, channels, or mutexes | concurrency/ — patterns, context propagation, synchronization |
| Name variables, functions, or packages | naming-and-style/ — naming conventions, formatting rules |
| Design interfaces or inject dependencies | abstractions/ — composition, interface design, DI patterns |
| Write or modify tests | testing/ — table-driven tests, mocks, benchmarks, fuzz tests |
| Structure packages or modules | project-organization/ — package layout, module boundaries |
| Work with slices, maps, or structs | data-types-and-memory/ — allocation patterns, value vs pointer semantics |
| Use stdlib packages (io, net/http, etc.) | standard-library/ — idiomatic usage of standard library |
How to Navigate
- Scan the inlined guidelines table in your prompt — it shows each language and the path to its
index.md - Read the
index.mdfor the language you are working with — it contains a Category Index table with "When to Read" guidance - Read the category
index.mdfor each category relevant to your task (e.g.,error-handling/index.md) - Read deeper topic files if the category index references them and they are relevant to your work
- Only read what you need — typically 2-4 category files per task
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.

guideline-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository doordash-oss/agentic-orchestrator (115 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 619 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
plan-pm
Principal PM skill — the autonomous PRD writer. Consumes a graded, fleshed-out row from the INTAKE.md backlog (idea, goal, type, grade) and drafts the full PRD solo — feature/acceptance table, edge cases, error handling — saved to features/planned/prd-[n]-[feature-slug]/. The requirements interview lives in /intake…
pre-merge
The quality gate. Takes a feature branch from "eng says done" to "checked, fixed and ready for /merge". Runs the project's preflight-resolved pipeline from devkit/policy.json components[]: sync → parallel correctness + security waves → coverage → regression tail → security/migration → PRD-consistency → verdict. A…
intake
The planning front-door. Captures feature ideas and bugs as graded rows in the root INTAKE.md ledger. Use it when the user says "log an idea", "capture a bug", "add to the backlog", "note this down", "track this feature", or invokes /intake. Opens with one prompt ("What are you trying to build?"), infers the rest from…
msg
Root menu for msg skills, plus harness modes. Bare /msg says the next step for each PRD in progress and offers to run it — use it when the user says "what's next", "where am I", "what should I run now". --init is the project setup — use it when the user says "initialise project", "bootstrap repo", "set up the…
plan-em
Engineering Manager skill. Reads an approved PRD, runs pre-flight checks against AHA.md, GLOSSARY.md and ARCHITECTURE.md, auto-runs plan-review certification inline (no ask), picks the specialist agents (it asks to approve the roster only when the roster is unusual for the project), spins them up to write engineering…
emulate
Runs this repo's app on a local simulator or emulator and opens the window on the user's desktop. Use it when the user says "run the app", "open the simulator", "launch the emulator", "boot the iOS sim", "start Expo", "see it running", "show me the app", or invokes /emulate. Takes the branch the user is standing on…
