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 | $0.00014 | $0.09127 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.04563 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.01825 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00913 |
Grade A, and why
agented 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 471 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
agented (binary: ae)
ae is a stateful editor controlled by command-line verbs. State persists across sessions in a SQLite-backed workspace (.agented/state.db). Every edit is versioned in an undo tree — you can branch, jump to any past state, and never lose work.
ae not on PATH? npx -y agented <verb> ... runs the identical binary — the npm launcher downloads the platform build from GitHub releases on first use (sha256-verified) and caches it, so later calls are instant and offline. Every command in this document works verbatim with npx -y agented in place of ae. Prefer a real install for daily use (brew install frane/tap/agented or npm i -g agented).
Use this tool when
- You need to edit one or more files in a repo across multiple steps and want a durable history.
- You want to leave notes for your future self or other agents (annotations) attached to specific files.
- You want safe multi-file refactors with all-or-nothing semantics (transactions).
Don't use this tool for
- Reading repo overview / architecture (use plain
cat/grep). - Single one-shot edits where you don't care about history (use the platform's built-in editor).
- Anything that isn't text (no binary file support).
How the editor enforces correctness for you
Every read returns a state_token. Pass it to your next write with --expect. If the file changed under you, the write is rejected (exit code 3) and the response includes the new content and the new token. Retry with the new token.
You don't need to "view before write" — the editor will tell you if your assumption is stale. You don't need to "branches before undo" — undo's error includes the branches if there's ambiguity. You don't need to "status before edit" — every operation's response carries the state you'd want to check.
The default is concurrency.require_expect: warn: writes without --expect succeed and emit a stderr warning. For multi-agent setups, set require_expect: writes in .agented/config.json to enforce strict pre-write checks. In either mode, an actual conflict (a stale --expect value) is rejected with exit 3 and the recovery payload — the tree never silently loses work.
What ships with it
5 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.

agented is a skill published in the GitHub repository frane/agented (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 9,127 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.
