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 | $0.00037 | $0.00308 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00154 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
absence-audit 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 11d 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
Absence Audit
The hardest things to notice are the things that aren't there.
How to use
/absence-auditApply absence analysis to any design in this conversation.
Constraints
What to Look For
- MUST list 5-10 things that are conspicuously absent from the design
- MUST hypothesize for each: intentional removal or never considered?
- MUST evaluate: does the absence strengthen or weaken the experience?
- SHOULD note what the absence reveals about the design philosophy
Categories of Absence
- Missing UI elements (no breadcrumbs, no tooltips, no onboarding tutorial)
- Missing content (no testimonials, no feature comparison, no pricing)
- Missing states (no loading skeleton, no empty state, no error recovery)
- Missing interaction (no animation, no hover effects, no sound)
The Restraint Signal
- Intentional absence is a strong taste signal. It says "we thought about this and decided it wasn't needed."
- Accidental absence (missing error states, broken edge cases) signals the opposite.
- MUST distinguish between the two.
Anti-Patterns
- Treating every absence as a problem to fix
- Assuming absence equals minimalism (it might just be incomplete)
- Missing obvious gaps because you're focused on what IS there
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.

absence-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/taste-skills (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 308 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
