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 | $0.00098 | $0.02233 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00049 | $0.01117 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00447 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00223 |
Grade A, and why
write-adr 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 3d 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 — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Write ADR
Generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) from decisions made during the current session.
Workflow Overview
- Context - Gather repository context and existing ADRs
- Extract - Analyze conversation for decisions using a subagent
- Confirm - Present decisions to user for selection
- Write - Generate ADRs in parallel using subagents
- Report - Summarize created files and status
- Verify - Validate generated ADRs against Definition of Done
Gates (objective pass conditions)
Advance only when the pass condition holds. These are checkable without “I verified internally.”
| After | Pass condition |
|---|---|
| Step 2 (extract) | The subagent response is valid JSON with a top-level decisions array (empty is OK). Each non-empty item has id, title, and at least one of context, decision, alternatives, or rationale present as a non-empty string or non-empty array. If parsing fails or the shape is wrong, re-run extraction or fix the payload before Step 3. |
| Step 4 (pre-allocate) | From repo root, python plugins/beagle-analysis/skills/adr-writing/scripts/next_adr_number.py --count N prints exactly N lines (one number per line). You have a written mapping (in the reply draft or notes) from each selected decision to one of those lines before launching any ADR writer unit. |
| Step 5 (report) | Every file path in the summary table is copied from a subagent completion output (not invented). Optionally spot-check: test -f <path> for each path before marking success. |
| Step 6 (verify) | For each ADR path, opening the file shows line 1 is ---, frontmatter parses as YAML, status and date are present, and the body meets the Step 6 bullets below (alternatives count, Good/Bad consequences). |
Step 1: Gather Context
# Get current branch and recent commits
git branch --show-current
git log --oneline -5
# Check for existing ADRs
ls docs/adrs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No ADR directory found"
# Count existing ADRs for numbering
find docs/adrs -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l
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.

write-adr is a skill published in the GitHub repository existential-birds/beagle (79 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,233 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
