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 | $0.00020 | $0.00174 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00087 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00035 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00017 |
Grade A, and why
kb-search 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.
What it actually says
The fileskb mcp server provides the following tools to extract relevant
information from a directory hierarchy of markdown files:
-
list_contents - browse and navigate the directory tree to list the contents of the specified path. The items may be files or sub-directories.
-
read_file - read the contents of a file in the knowledge base. The entire contents are provided. Extract and summarise the relevant information based on the documentation being generated..
-
search_content - searches the knowledge base and returns the matching files, along with matching line numbers and line snippets. This can be used to quickly find matches without having to list and read all files.
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.

kb-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository eli-labz/Cognitive-Core-Skills (165 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 174 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

memory-audit
An entry point for reviewing and maintaining an AI agent's stored memories. It describes how to remove repetition, preserve useful reasoning, and update memories when old conclusions no longer fit.
memory-audit-belief-duel
A guided review process for conflicting beliefs or memories. It examines cases where two conclusions cannot both be true, including conflicts between a general rule and a more specific memory.
memory-audit-discoverability
A review guide for checking whether stored memories can be found at the right time. It focuses on where memories are attached, when they are triggered, whether aliases are missing, and whether a parent has too many children.
memory-audit-pattern-extraction
A method for investigating repeated mistakes by comparing related memories and checking whether an earlier reminder failed. It looks at where the reminder was stored, when it was created, and whether it was strong enough to prevent the mistake.
memory-audit-node-decomposition
A method for splitting an oversized knowledge note into smaller notes, each focused on one independent idea. It also explains how to keep useful core information in the original note.
