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 | $0.00050 | $0.00363 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00181 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
gear-architecture-planner 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
Gear Architecture Planner
Overview
Turn an approved spec into a concrete Gear/Sails architecture note.
Start Here
Read ../../references/vara-domain-overview.md, ../../references/sails-cheatsheet.md, ../../references/sails-program-and-service-architecture.md, ../../references/gear-messaging-and-replies.md, and ../../references/sails-idl-client-pipeline.md.
If the architecture choice depends on what Gear programs can express through gstd, review ../gear-gstd-api-map/SKILL.md before locking the design.
Use ../../assets/architecture-template.md as the output shape.
Write the result to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-architecture.md.
Workflow
- Confirm the spec artifact exists and is approved.
- Choose program constructors and service boundaries.
- Map state ownership, routing, messages, replies, and events.
- Record generated-IDL or generated-client implications.
- Capture off-chain components, failure paths, and explicit non-goals.
Guardrails
- Keep
#[program]thin and push business logic into services. - Make the constructor shape and storage pattern explicit instead of leaving them to implementation guesswork.
- Treat generated clients or equivalent Sails Header-aware encoding as the default Sails message contract.
- Treat actor boundaries and async flow as design constraints.
- Call out remote-call failure policy instead of leaving it implicit.
- Do not collapse architecture into a file-by-file coding checklist.
What ships with it
3 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.

gear-architecture-planner is a skill published in the GitHub repository gear-foundation/vara-skills (17 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 363 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
