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 | $0.00081 | $0.01176 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00588 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00235 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
coding-standards 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 2d 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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Coding Standards
This skill provides coding guidelines, linters, and formatters for making changes across languages and domains in this repository.
Formatting Scripts
Helper scripts in scripts/ encapsulate repository-wide style rules and lint
checks. References to scripts/... are relative to this skill directory. All
scripts support formatting multiple files in place, or reading from stdin and
writing to stdout when no arguments are provided.
scripts/python-format: Format and lint Python files usingruff(supports--checkand recursive directory scanning).scripts/shell-format: Format and lint shell scripts (POSIX/Bash) usingshfmtandshellcheck(supports--checkand recursive directory scanning; Fish scripts usefish_indent).scripts/markdown-format: Format Markdown files usingmdformatwith GFM and frontmatter preservation (supports--checkfor drift detection).scripts/command-index-sync: Refresh generated--helpblocks incommand-index.mdfiles (marker comments; supports--checkand--all).scripts/kotlin-format: Format Kotlin files usingktfmtwith kotlinlang style.scripts/json-format: Format JSON files usingjq.scripts/xml-format: Format XML files usingxmllint.
Always prefer the helper scripts in scripts/ over raw tool invocations to
guarantee consistent repository formatting rules.
Core Standards & Guidelines
Markdown Quality
All Markdown files must be formatted and linted with scripts/markdown-format.
Headings must use clean, unadorned ATX styles (## Heading) without numbers,
manual bolding, or ALL CAPS. See
references/markdown.md.
Python Development
All Python files must be linted and formatted with scripts/python-format.
Follow type annotation conventions, structured CLI argument parsing with
argparse, and error handling standards. See
references/python.md.
What ships with it

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.

coding-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository ithinkihaveacat/dotfiles (48 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,176 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
