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 | $0.00000 | $0.00426 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00213 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00085 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
backend-diagnostics 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 4d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
FreeCAD / Backend Diagnostics
Purpose
Diagnose backend/FreeCAD worker failures using only public Battenmark status, capability, and structured-error surfaces. Never bypass the typed service layer.
Use when
- Public operation returns backend-related structured error.
- Need
kernel_statusorinspect_backend_capabilities.
Do not use when
- Ordinary geometry/selector/constraint errors (use modelling skills).
- Tempted to run FreeCAD Python or edit worker internals — forbidden.
Preconditions
- REQUIRED: Operating through a public Battenmark client; stay inside the public contract.
Planning rules
- Structured error is primary evidence.
- Establish backend presence, roles, capabilities.
- Smallest recovery: retry → capability-aware alternative → supported restart → re-verify.
- Never call private FreeCAD modules or shell.
Recommended operation sequence
- REQUIRED — Record failing operation + full structured error.
- REQUIRED —
kernel_status→inspect_backend_capabilities. - REQUIRED — Recover (retry / alternative / supported restart only).
- REQUIRED — Re-run minimal public verification.
Geometry / mechanical rules
Not applicable.
Verification gates
Status/capability called; recovery used only public operations; post-recovery public call succeeds or clear capability-backed unavailability explanation; no private FreeCAD/shell used.
Failure recovery
This skill is the recovery procedure. If public recovery fails, report status + error to user/operator. Do not patch the worker or invoke FreeCADCmd from the agent.
Outputs
Captured error, capability/kernel snapshots, recovery steps, post-recovery verification result.
Platform notes
FreeCAD is Tier-1 authoritative backend; JSCAD is preview only. Capability flags tell the truth. Discovery/install helpers are operator actions, not agent actions.
Examples
export_step timeout → kernel_status → inspect_backend_capabilities → supported restart if available → retry trivial op → retry export. Never "run FreeCADCmd yourself".
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.

backend-diagnostics is a skill published in the GitHub repository halsyourpal422/Battenmark (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 426 tokens. 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.
