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 | $0.00050 | $0.01019 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00408 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00204 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
ia-md-docs 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 21d 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to md-docs — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Markdown Documentation
Manage project documentation by verifying against actual codebase state: analyze structure, files, and patterns before writing; never generate blind.
Working rules
- Read existing documentation and verify its claims against actual code and commands before editing.
- Preserve request authority, external-action boundaries, proof standards, and failure-attribution rules when condensing context.
- Do not create CONTRIBUTING.md or DOCS.md as a side effect; apply the specific workflow's creation limits.
- Keep cross-cutting conventions discoverable in the main context file and avoid duplicated volatile facts.
- Report actual edits and checks; do not claim snippets or external identifiers verified without checking them.
Portability
AGENTS.md is the universal context file (works with Claude Code, Codex, Kilocode). During Initialize Context or Update Context Files workflows only: if CLAUDE.md exists without AGENTS.md, confirm with the user first (Ask via AskUserQuestion (Claude Code; load with ToolSearch select:AskUserQuestion if not loaded) or request_user_input (Codex); fall back to numbered options in chat), then mv CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md. Never migrate as a side effect of another task.
The CLAUDE.md symlink is optional compatibility, not a required step. Claude Code v2.1.277 and later reads AGENTS.md natively when no CLAUDE.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md, or CLAUDE.local.md exists in the working directory or above it; any of those three found there silently stops that loading, so flag it. For harnesses or sessions that read only CLAUDE.md, offer a CLAUDE.md containing @AGENTS.md; offer ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md only when no contributor uses Windows (a clone without core.symlinks gets a one-line text file); Edit/Write refuse to write through the link. Keep an existing symlink unless the user asks to remove it. Details and fixes: init-agents.md, section "Claude Code compatibility".
When this skill references "context files", it means AGENTS.md (and CLAUDE.md if present, as a symlink or an @AGENTS.md import).
What ships with it
8 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.

ia-md-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository iliaal/whetstone (35 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,019 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to md-docs, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
