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 | $0.00077 | $0.01018 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00509 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00204 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
plannotator-setup-goal 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.

Plannotator Setup Goal
Overview
Create a durable goal package in the current project at goals/<slug>/ so Codex /goal has a clear mission, guardrails, proof of done, and external memory. Use Plannotator as the user review UI: every critical document must be gated with plannotator annotate <document.md> --gate and revised until approved.
Workflow
-
Confirm the working directory is the project root, or use the user-provided project directory.
-
Gather enough context to name the goal, define the intended outcome, identify constraints, find likely project docs, and determine proof of done.
-
Ask focused questions whenever the goal is vague, risky, too broad, missing a finish line, or missing verification. Do not proceed with guessed critical requirements.
-
Create a slug from the goal name and scaffold
goals/<slug>/with:python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/scaffold_goal.py --root . --slug <slug> --title "<goal title>" --objective "<one sentence outcome>" -
Draft and refine the critical documents in this order:
brief.mdplan.mdverification.mdblockers.mdgoal-prompt.md
-
Gate each critical document with Plannotator before moving on:
plannotator annotate goals/<slug>/<document.md> --gate -
If Plannotator returns denial, comments, or markup, treat that as user feedback. Revise the document, then run the same gate again. Continue until approved.
-
After all gates pass, present the final path and the exact
/goalprompt fromgoal-prompt.md.
Document Standards
brief.md must state the mission, context, constraints, non-goals, ask-before rules, and concise done condition.
plan.md is the central reviewed planning artifact. It must read like a clear solution narrative, not just a technical checklist. Include what is being built, why this approach is appropriate, how the solution will work, the main implementation slices, risks, phase boundaries, and acceptance criteria. Every important acceptance item needs observable evidence. For large missions, prefer several sequential goals over one endless goal.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

plannotator-setup-goal is a skill published in the GitHub repository drn/dots (23 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,018 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
wayfinder
Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
setup-matt-pocock-skills
Configure this repo for the engineering skills: set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
release-notes
Generate user-facing release notes from tickets, PRDs, or changelogs. Creates clear, engaging summaries organized by category (new features, improvements, fixes). Use when writing release notes, creating changelogs, announcing product updates, or summarizing what shipped.
retro
Facilitate a structured sprint retrospective — what went well, what didn't, and prioritized action items with owners and deadlines. Use when running a retrospective, reflecting on a sprint, creating action items from team feedback, or learning how to run effective retros.
bug-triage
Read all open bugs in production/qa/bugs/, re-evaluate priority vs. severity, assign to sprints, surface systemic trends, and produce a triage report. Run at sprint start or when the bug count grows enough to need re-prioritization.
flow-next-tracker-sync
Project a flow-next spec to a tracker issue (Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Jira) and reconcile two-way. Use when asked to sync to a tracker. NOT plan-sync.
