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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00065 | $0.03276 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01638 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00655 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00328 |
Grade A, and why
readme-critique 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 9d 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 — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
readme-critique
The verify gates check coverage (Gate 4), self-consistency (Gates 1-2), and skim-experience (Gate 3). They pass on READMEs that are internally consistent and complete-by-name but that read as catalogs rather than teaching. This skill is the gestalt judge that the verify gates cannot be.
readme-critique runs AFTER readme-draft (or after readme-edit) and BEFORE readme-verify. Its job: read the candidate top to bottom as a real reader would, and report along eight axes whether the README teaches or merely lists.
Inputs
readme_path: the candidate README.source_analysis_path: the analyzer's output (includes the section-cluster output and the running-domain seeds — this is the contract the draft was supposed to follow).exemplar_path(optional): a reference README to compare against (typicallygit show origin/main:<module>/README.mdfor kyo modules).
The eight axes
For each axis, report PASS | WEAK | FAIL with line evidence.
Axis 1: Opening hook size and shape
Count the lines of the first fenced scala block in the README (the opening hook, between the opening and closing triple-backticks). It must be ≤15 lines and demonstrate ONE compelling thing on ONE running value. Or: no opening code block at all (spine prose alone hooks the reader). Comprehensive multi-capability examples belong in a ## Putting it together (or similar) section near the END of the README, after the cluster sections.
- PASS: ≤15-line opening block doing one verb on one value, OR no opening code block at all (spine paragraphs only).
- WEAK: 16-25 line opening block, OR a smaller block but with two unrelated capabilities crammed in.
- FAIL: 26+ line opening block, OR multi-capability "tour of the module" with
// section headingcomments dividing sub-blocks at the top.
Rationale: walls of code at the top get skimmed past or close the README entirely. A short hook gets the reader committed; the comprehensive composition example survives, but moves to a final section where motivated readers will find it.
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.

readme-critique is a skill published in the GitHub repository getkyo/kyo (812 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 3,276 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.
