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 | $0.00036 | $0.01193 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00477 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00239 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
qi-layer 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 10d 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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
qi-layer
/creative-writing-skills:qi-maintenance owns when colocated knowledge must move with the changes it describes.
This skill owns how to write and structure that knowledge.
Load /creative-writing-skills:knowledge-layers for where each layer lives and what it holds.
Load /creative-writing-skills:llm-writing if it isn't already loaded.
This skill is about how to write and maintain the directory-local pair:
AGENTS.md and .context/CONTEXT.md. The pair governs any tree agents work
in — code, the KB, docs, work directories. AGENTS.md loads into an agent's
bounded context as standing instructions: write it like a prompt, minimal,
every line load-bearing.
The Four Principles
- Fractal Compression: leaf AGENTS.md summarizes its directory's content; parent AGENTS.md summarizes its children. Each level is a compression of the level below.
- Hierarchical Summarization: root provides broad architectural frame. Leaves provide local working knowledge. Agents accumulate understanding as they descend.
- LCA Deduplication: shared knowledge appears once at the shallowest node covering all relevant paths.
- Progressive Disclosure: give just enough to work correctly at this
level. Link to
.context/CONTEXT.mdfor depth.
Writing AGENTS.md
Agents read AGENTS.md before opening anything else in the tree — write for that moment. Ask: what must someone understand before working here? That's what AGENTS.md captures.
Keep AGENTS.md as short as the directory allows, rarely past 200 lines. Include only what has substance:
- Purpose: what this area IS and what it ISN'T (1–3 sentences)
- Mental model: how to think about this area, key abstractions
- Key rules: constraints, what breaks if you get it wrong
- Anti-patterns: what NOT to do here
- Downlinks: to
.context/for depth, to related areas
An agent that only reads AGENTS.md should be able to work correctly here. An agent that also reads .context/ should be able to change things safely.
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.

qi-layer is a skill published in the GitHub repository haowjy/creative-writing-skills (567 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,193 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 2026-08-30.
