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 | $0.00036 | $0.04890 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.02445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00978 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00489 |
Grade A, and why
using-humanities-superpowers 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 6d 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.

Using Humanities Superpowers
Purpose
Act as the orchestration layer for Humanities Superpowers. Diagnose the current research state, select the smallest sufficient skill sequence, enforce dependencies, interpret gate results, and preserve a resumable record of unresolved work.
This skill is not a generic planner and not an autonomous paper-writing agent. It coordinates scholarly operations while keeping the researcher's decisions, source limits, and responsibility visible.
When to use
Use this skill:
- at the beginning of a humanities research, manuscript, review, or submission task;
- when several substantive skills may apply;
- when the user asks for an end-to-end workflow;
- when the current research stage is unclear;
- after a gate returns
CONDITIONAL PASSorFAIL; - when work must resume from an earlier session;
- when a user asks whether a manuscript is ready, complete, publishable, or submission-ready;
- when the agent must decide whether to proceed, pause, roll back, or request a researcher decision.
Do not use this skill for a simple transformation that requires no scholarly diagnosis, such as converting a confirmed bibliography from one citation style to another, unless the request also asks for verification.
Contract
Accepts
- a research request, manuscript task, reviewer task, or submission task;
- optional research materials, source records, previous gate reports, or a prior session record;
- optional explicit constraints such as discipline, corpus, venue, language, deadline, and desired output.
Requires
- a requested outcome or a sufficiently clear immediate task;
- enough information to classify the current state, or permission to mark the state as
UNKNOWNand request the smallest missing input; - preservation of provenance and verification states from supplied materials.
Produces
- a
ResearchStatediagnosis; - a minimal ordered skill route;
- a prerequisite and input check;
- a routing decision:
PROCEED,PAUSE,ROLLBACK,RESEARCHER_DECISION_REQUIRED, orSTOP; - a session record suitable for resuming work;
- a gate-aware handoff to the next valid skill;
- open friction, evidence conflict, judgment, gate-validity, and possible epistemic-return summaries.
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.

using-humanities-superpowers is a skill published in the GitHub repository icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers (16 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 4,890 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
