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 | $0.00068 | $0.01405 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00702 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00281 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00140 |
Grade B, and why
setup-and-ops scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- Mac: `brew install redis`. Windows: install via WSL2 (`sudo apt-get install redis-server`). Linux: `sudo apt-get install redis-server`. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Setup & operations
Operational reference for running and deploying the app. (For building features, use the build skills.) Read README "Before You Begin", "The Entry Points", "Config Folder", "Database Folder", "Deploying to Heroku". Full command cheat sheet, health probes, ngrok details, and troubleshooting table: docs/reference/operations.md.
Prerequisites
- Node v22.x, Yarn. PostgreSQL running locally. Redis installed on the machine (see below). Both Postgres + Redis are required for the app and the test suite.
Redis (installed on your machine)
Redis is installed system-wide — there is no project-local redis/ folder anymore (older versions built Redis inside the repo; that approach is deprecated — delete any leftover redis/ folder).
- Mac:
brew install redis. Windows: install via WSL2 (sudo apt-get install redis-server). Linux:sudo apt-get install redis-server. - Manage the service via yarn (wraps
brew services):yarn redis/yarn redis:start(start),yarn redis:restart,yarn redis:stop,yarn redis:status,yarn redis:logs,yarn redis:info,yarn redis:edit,yarn redis:cleanup,yarn redis:reset. Full steps:docs/redis.txt.
Local dev only. The locally installed Redis is just for your machine. Production uses a managed Redis add-on (Heroku Redis / Redis Cloud) reached via the
REDIS_URLconfig var.
First-time setup
yarn install— installs deps and runspostinstall→yarn lang(compileslocales/). Pin exact versions when adding deps:yarn add <pkg> --exact.- Create env files in
config/from the template: copy.env.template→.env.development,.env.test(and.env.production/.env.stagingonly if connecting to prod locally). These are gitignored. Every new env var → also add it to.env.template(committed).- Required for auth:
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET(distinct),ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN=15m,REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN=60d— in every env file incl..env.test.
- Required for auth:
- Create the dev DB, run migrations:
yarn migrate. Optionallyyarn seedfor dev seed data.
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.

setup-and-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository Hackbyrd/orbital-express (14 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,405 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
