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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00051 | $0.00325 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
ambient-context-standup 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 2d 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
Standup
Follow the ambient-context skill's conventions.
Steps
list_days, thenread_summaryfor the most recent working day before today. Skip weekend days unless the record shows work on them.read_summaryfor today if one exists; otherwiseread_daywithfileset toappsfor today and read the headings only.read_kbwithfileset tocommitments.mdfor that day, for anything promised to someone.
Reply
Three short sections, first person, plain sentences the user could paste into Slack or Linear without editing:
- Yesterday. What moved, by project. Outcomes over activity: "shipped the update slot state machine", not "worked on update.rs for four hours".
- Today. What the record shows them already on, plus any commitment due.
- Blocked. Only if the record shows a wait on someone or something. Leave the section out when there is nothing.
Name only work the record shows. If the day is thin, say so rather than pad it. No emoji, no nested bullets, no times unless they matter.
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.

ambient-context-standup is a skill published in the GitHub repository dragthelake/ambient-context (165 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-07.
