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 | $0.00078 | $0.00178 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00089 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
sounding-board 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
Restate my idea in your own words so I can hear it fresh, then flag anything that sounds fuzzy, contradictory, or underspecified. After that, give your concrete opinion or suggestion on what I should do.
Go one exchange at a time. Don't pile up questions -- respond to what I just said before moving on.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead of asking me.
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.

sounding-board is a skill published in the GitHub repository jcottam/agent-resources (30 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 178 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
newsjack-detector
Monitor current news and reaction signals, then decide which are credible newsjacking opportunities for a client. Uses the local monitoring engine for evidence, but the skill owns PR judgment, brand safety, standing, decay, angle fit, and handoff.
crisis-holding
Draft crisis holding statements, journalist Q&A posture, and what-not-to-say guidance from confirmed incident facts, with a hard legal-counsel gate. Builds each statement through proven crisis-comms frameworks (holding-statement anatomy, SCCT, CAP order, the legitimate non-answer, bridge/flag/block).
find-journalists
Build, refine, dedupe, and enrich small fit-checked journalist lists for newsjack campaigns. Uses the newsjack CLI (preferred) or the medialyst MCP for news search and journalist enrichment, and falls back to a best-effort local mode with no verified contacts; the agent owns how returned data is organized.
voice-extractor
Capture a user's real writing voice from 5-20 prior samples, store a local voice.yaml fingerprint, and enforce it on newsjack drafts so AI tells disappear. Measures voice with named stylometry lenses (Burrows's Delta function-word vector, MATTR lexical diversity, sentence-length burstiness, Biber Dimension-1 register…
fact-check
Extract factual claims from PR copy, verify each claim independently, attach concrete citations, and warn when certainty is low. Runs each claim through proven newsroom verification methods (lateral reading, source-tier climbing, provenance pillars, triangulation, calibrated rating) and puts the burden of proof on the…
newsjack-triage
Consolidate freshness-gated newsjack signals and route them by client standing before angle generation. Collapses any remaining same-story duplicates, decides strong/partial/none standing with a journalist-shape sanity check, and sorts each story into pitchready, bigstory (always-surfaced suggestion), or watch. Never…
