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 | $0.00064 | $0.00707 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00283 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00141 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
canon-information-architecture 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 2mo 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CANON · Information Architecture
IA is the skeleton. Navigation, content, and URLs all reflect it. If the skeleton is wrong, every screen built on top of it inherits the confusion.
Flat vs deep
| Structure | Use when |
|---|---|
| Flat (≤ 2 levels) | Simple app, marketing site, 5–15 pages |
| Medium (3 levels) | SaaS product, content-heavy site, 15–50 sections |
| Deep (4+ levels) | Enterprise tools, documentation, large e-commerce |
Prefer flat. Every additional level costs discoverability. Users who can't find something in 3 clicks tend to search instead.
URL design
URLs are IA made visible. They should be:
- Readable:
/projects/42/settingsnot/p?id=42&tab=3 - Hierarchical:
/team/members/invitereflects the nesting - Stable: changing URLs breaks bookmarks, SEO, and shared links
- Lowercase:
/Aboutand/aboutshouldn't be different pages
Labeling
Labels are the IA's voice. They must be:
- User-language, not internal jargon: "Billing" not "Subscription management module"
- Mutually exclusive: users shouldn't wonder whether something lives under "Settings" or "Preferences"
- Consistent in abstraction level: don't mix "Dashboard" (abstract) with "Invoice #4021" (concrete) at the same nav level
Validation methods
| Method | When | What it tests |
|---|---|---|
| Card sorting (open) | Early, before IA exists | How users mentally group items |
| Card sorting (closed) | After draft IA | Whether users agree with your grouping |
| Tree testing | After IA is built | Whether users can find items in the hierarchy |
| First-click testing | After UI exists | Whether the first click leads toward the right answer |
Anti-patterns
| Anti-pattern | Why it fails |
|---|---|
| Mirroring the org chart | Users don't know or care about internal teams |
| More than 7 top-level nav items | Cognitive overload; group or use sidebar |
| Deep nesting (5+ levels) | Users get lost |
| Duplicate items in multiple categories | Users check one, don't find it, give up |
URLs that expose implementation (/api/v2/render?page=home) |
Unusable, unstable |
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.

canon-information-architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/canon (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 707 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
