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 | $0.00031 | $0.01262 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00631 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00252 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00126 |
Grade A, and why
template-selector 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 11d 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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Detailed category descriptions
editorial-tool
Use when: Building newsroom tools, writing assistants, fact-checkers, AI-powered research tools, moderation systems, workflow automation for journalists
Not for: Generic productivity tools, non-journalism software
Signs it's an editorial tool:
- Primary users are journalists, editors, or producers
- Helps with a specific editorial workflow step
- Requires accuracy/trust for publication decisions
event-website
Use when: Building sites for conferences, summits, workshops, or events with specific dates
Not for: Ongoing content, organization websites without events, event management software (that's editorial-tool)
Signs it's an event website:
- Has a specific event date (or date range)
- Registration/attendance is involved
- Content includes speakers, schedule, venue info
publication
Use when: Building newsletters, podcasts, blogs, magazines, or ongoing content series with regular publishing schedule
Not for: One-off articles, static content sites, CMSes that power publications (that's editorial-tool)
What ships with it
1 file 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.
