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 | $0.00029 | $0.00891 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
ii-commons 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
II-Commons
Overview
II-Commons provides deterministic retrieval for research agents across arXiv, PubMed/PMC, and supported US policy corpora. Use it when a task needs reproducible search, metadata lookup, full-document Markdown retrieval, or a freshness check before answering with recent evidence.
The upstream project publishes a Node.js CLI as @intelligentinternet/ii-commons and a full agent skill at skills/ii-commons/.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when searching arXiv, PubMed/PMC, or supported US policy corpora for evidence.
- Use when the user asks for latest or recent research and corpus freshness matters.
- Use when you need stable identifiers, metadata, or full-document Markdown for downstream analysis.
- Use when comparing evidence across scientific literature and policy documents.
How It Works
Step 1: Check Corpus Freshness
Run cutoff before freshness-sensitive searches:
npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons cutoff
Report the relevant cutoff date before interpreting recent results.
Step 2: Search the Right Corpus
Use exactly this command shape:
npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons search arxiv "large language model inference" --max-results 10
npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons search pubmed "type 2 diabetes review" --start 20240000 --max-results 10
npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons search policy "state overtime rule for agricultural workers" --jurisdictions US-CA --max-results 10
Choose arxiv for preprints and technical research, pubmed for biomedical and clinical literature, and policy for supported US policy corpora.
Step 3: Retrieve Metadata or Markdown
Use stable identifiers from search results:
npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons meta "arXiv:2402.03578"
npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons markdown "PMCID:PMC11152602"
Build summaries from search results first, then request Markdown when detailed inspection or full-document grounding is needed.
Installation
Run the CLI with npx:
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.
- 12d ago First seen · 101 lines · 29 tokens per session scan A 64cdc5316191
ii-commons is a skill published in the GitHub repository fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 891 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 2026-08-31.

apply-change-leadership
Use when a manager's team is experiencing a significant organizational change — restructuring, strategy shift, leadership change, layoffs, or major process transition — and needs leadership that maintains team stability, preserves trust, and converts uncertainty into direction.
apply-cross-functional-leadership
Use when a manager needs to lead a project or initiative that depends on team members or stakeholders they do not formally manage — to build voluntary cooperation, alignment, and momentum across organizational boundaries through influence rather than authority.
apply-grow-coaching
Use when a manager wants to help a direct report solve a problem, develop a skill, or reach a goal through structured questioning rather than advice-giving — because telling people answers builds dependency while coaching builds self-sufficiency.
apply-high-performer-retention
Use when a manager wants to proactively retain top-performing direct reports — because high performers have the most options to leave and require active, differentiated management attention to stay engaged and challenged.
