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 | $0.00083 | $0.02472 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00989 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00494 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00247 |
Grade A, and why
query-kb 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 1mo 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 — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Query the knowledge base
Use the cheapest precise view first, then broaden. Markdown files remain the authority; search scores, metadata rows, and graph results are derived views.
Locate the vault
- Resolve
<vault>to the directory containing its managed or authoredindex.md, then set the shell-localKB_ROOTto that path (KB_ROOT=kbfrom a typical repository root, orKB_ROOT=.from inside the vault). - Resolve
<repository>to the repository root when the question concerns a repository path (KB_REPO=.from that root). - Read the vault's applicable agent instructions and note conventions.
- Pass the resolved path to every
--root; do not scan a repository root merely because that is where the agent session started.
Choose the retrieval lane
- Repository file or directory: run
kb contextfirst. Read its inherited guides root to nearest, then inspect its maintained knowledge, active plans, dated research, reports, and separate historical-plan group. Open only useful context hubs or records. - Known frontmatter field or tag such as type, status, or area: use
kb list. - Known note title, path, or alias: use
kb linksorkb backlinks, which resolve note identities before returning authored relationships. - A whole-vault structural question or relationship audit: use
kb graph --json, then inspect the smallest relevant portion of its canonical output. - A phrase, identity, or concept expressed with different vocabulary: use
kb search, whose default hybrid result preserves exact and QMD evidence separately. - Direct provenance for one note or repository path: use
kb historyorkb history searchwithout changing authored metadata or links. - Recent captures awaiting maintained disposition: use the advisory
kb inboxview. - Broad orientation: read
index.md, then follow the smallest useful link trail. Usekb catalogwhen an exhaustive disposable inventory is actually needed.

What ships with it
2 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.

query-kb is a skill published in the GitHub repository hraness/atet (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 2,472 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
