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 | $0.00025 | $0.00204 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00082 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00041 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
category-theory 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 7d 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
Category Theory
Domain
Abstract structure of mathematical objects and morphisms.
Core Concepts
- Categories, functors, natural transformations
- Limits, colimits
- Adjunctions
- Monads, monoids
- Topos theory
Key Methods
- Universal properties
- Yoneda lemma
- Diagram chasing
- Kan extensions
Canonical Examples
- Set is a category with functions as morphisms.
- Grp, Top, Vect are categories.
- Yoneda: Hom(Hom(A,-), F) ≅ F(A).
Common Pitfalls
- Over-abstraction without examples
- Confusing covariant with contravariant
- Ignoring size issues (small vs. large categories)

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.

category-theory is a skill published in the GitHub repository hamzabellouch/agent-skills (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 204 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-10.
