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 | $0.00049 | $0.00448 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00224 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
orient-lab 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 5d 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
Orient to a laboratory
Inputs
- manifest path
- optional run identifier or workflow path that defines the current task
Use start-here instead when the user is establishing the lab, changing its setup plan, or adding
newly reported equipment.
Procedure
- Read the nearest
AGENTS.mdand inspectgit status --short, the branch, and recent commits. - Read the shared laboratory context under
docs/lab/when present. Treat facts, assumptions, decisions, inventory evidence, and lab-specific work as planning context rather than runtime evidence. - Read the selected manifest and identify its environment, storage, adapters, capabilities, resources, and policy version.
- Run
.agents/skills/orient-lab/run.sh MANIFESTto validate files without opening the runtime store. - Read only the architecture and workflow files needed for the user's task.
doctor, capability listing, run inspection, and event queries read without writing: they compose the laboratory read-only and refuse to create a store that is not there.doctorreconciles incomplete runs only when asked with--reconcile, and reports what it moved.- Never pass
--reconcilewhile work may be in flight: it moves every running run tointervention_requiredand releases its leases, which is recovery after a controller stopped, not a health check. - Report current evidence, mismatches, active assumptions, and commands that are unavailable.
Completion
The user receives an on-demand summary tied to the current Git revision, validated manifest, declared environment, adapters, capabilities, resources, and policy. Any runtime evidence is marked as a state-touching query.
Stop conditions
Stop if the manifest is missing or validation fails. Do not infer health, active runs, or physical state from declared configuration.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

orient-lab is a skill published in the GitHub repository fl-sean03/OpenSDL (102 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 448 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
