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 | $0.00071 | $0.05928 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.02964 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01186 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00593 |
Grade A, and why
tech-news-digest 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 12d 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 — 563 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Digest:
# Unified pipeline (recommended) — runs all 6 sources in parallel + merge python3 scripts/run-pipeline.py \ --defaults config/defaults \ --config workspace/config \ --hours 48 --freshness pd \ --archive-dir workspace/archive/tech-news-digest/ \ --output /tmp/td-merged.json --verbose --force -
Use Templates: Apply Discord, email, or PDF templates to merged output

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.

tech-news-digest is a skill published in the GitHub repository draco-agent/tech-news-digest (73 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 5,928 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.
