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 | $0.00112 | $0.01461 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00731 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00292 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
superpowers-sage:acorn-redis 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 11d 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

Redis with Acorn in WordPress
When to use
- Object cache for WordPress (
wp_cache_*) backed by Redis instead of ephemeral in-process cache - Laravel cache / session / queue driver inside theme code
- Cross-request rate limiting, lock coordination, or atomic counters
- High-traffic sites where
wp_optionsautoload pressure needs relief - Queue backend for
acorn-queueswhen jobs need durable storage beyond sync driver
When NOT to use
- Small dev-only sites with no performance pressure — array/file cache is fine
- Shared hosting without Redis — use
fileordatabasecache driver instead - As a database — Redis is cache; persistent data belongs in MySQL
- When
wp_cache_*calls are rare and localized — flushing coordination overhead may exceed benefit
Prerequisites
- Lando config includes a
redisservice (setup shown below) predis/predisor phpredis extension availablewp-redisorobject-cache.phpdrop-in installed for WordPress object cache integrationREDIS_HOST/REDIS_PORTset in.env
Redis in the Stack
Lando provides Redis as a service. Acorn connects to it through Laravel's Redis integration (illuminate/redis). Three primary uses:
- Cache driver — store computed values, query results, rendered partials
- Session driver — user sessions backed by Redis instead of filesystem
- Queue driver — background job processing (see
sage:acorn-queues)
See references/cache-config.md for full Lando service config, config/cache.php, and Cache::remember() patterns.
See references/cache-tags.md for tag-based invalidation with save_post and edited_term.
See references/session-queue.md for session driver and queue connection wiring.
See references/troubleshooting.md for connection refused, drop-in not installed, cache not persisting, session issues.
Scripts: scripts/redis-health.sh
What ships with it
5 files 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.

superpowers-sage:acorn-redis is a skill published in the GitHub repository hekivo/superpowers-sage (13 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,461 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
