COG is an AI-assisted second brain that stores knowledge in Markdown files and uses agents, skills, and version control to evolve it over time. It helps people manage knowledge and contacts while supporting several coding-agent tools; the catalogue entries are COG’s skills, agents, instructions, rules, and plugin surfaces.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00023 | $0.00111 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00056 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00022 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00011 |
Grade A, and why
update-knowledge-base 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 5d 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
Read .claude/skills/update-knowledge-base/SKILL.md and execute it exactly as written — that file is the authoritative
playbook. Then follow .agents/rules/cog.md.
Antigravity substitution: where the playbook delegates to a .claude/agents/<name>
worker, invoke .agents/agents/<name>.md via invoke_subagent instead.
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.

update-knowledge-base is a skill published in the GitHub repository huytieu/COG-second-brain (1,170 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 111 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

api-testing
API testing patterns for Playwright -- apiRequest fixture usage, Zod response schema creation and validation, test.step wrapping for multi-call tests, per-field negative/validation testing, path parameter fuzzing, and helper fixtures for shared setup/teardown. Use when writing or updating API test specs, adding tests…
debugging
Playwright test debugging conventions for the scaffold — reading failure messages, classifying failure modes (TimeoutError, ZodError, strict-mode violation, locator not found, network errors, schema drift), the playwright.config.ts capture defaults (trace on-first-retry, screenshot only-on-failure, video…
pr-reviewer
Reviews a Git branch as a pull request against the base branch (auto-resolved from origin/HEAD — usually main or master) using this repo's own rules — the CLAUDE.md constitution and the .claude/skills/ that apply to the changed files. Fetches the branch, switches to it, diffs it against the merge-base, routes the…
test-standards
Spec file conventions for the Playwright scaffold — imports from test-options.ts, test file structure (describe / beforeEach / test / test.step), single-tag rule, functional vs E2E vs API vs setup test types, data-driven test loops against TS static data, web-first assertions, destructive-test cleanup, and test…

Sole entry-point router for AI-assisted work on this Playwright scaffold — owns the 8-phase main workflow (classify → route → explore → plan+confidence → human gate → apply → verify → report), the human↔agent conversation contract, the routing matrix that picks the right specialized skill, and the confidence-gate…
