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 | $0.00112 | $0.00741 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00370 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00148 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00074 |
Grade A, and why
agentmail-onboard 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.

agentmail-onboard
Overview
Interactive driver for onboarding ONE new agentmail agent. This skill contains no facts about any specific infrastructure — no hosts, ids, domains, or bot names. All of that lives in the operator's control-plane repo, whose onboarding runbook is the single authority. This skill's job is pacing and discipline: read the runbook, interview the operator, drive the steps in order, never skip the verification.
Core principle: the runbook is the source of truth. If this skill and the runbook ever disagree, the runbook wins.
Prerequisites
- The agentmail control-plane repo, default
~/code/mission-control— if it is not there, ask the operator where it lives before doing anything else. - Inside it:
docs/agentmail-onboarding.md(the runbook). Missing → stop and say so; do not improvise an onboarding. - Read the control-plane repo's
CLAUDE.mdfirst — its guardrail tiers govern every action this walkthrough takes.
Process
- Read the runbook — fully, fresh, this session. Never drive from memory of a previous run; the runbook changes as the platform learns.
- Interview before touching anything: agent name, target repo (default: the current working directory — confirm it), persona/charter answers (what the agent does, who it corresponds with, voice, boundaries), and the first allowlisted contacts.
- Drive the runbook's numbered steps in order. For each step:
- Steps the assistant performs: execute at the tier the runbook marks — announce-then-proceed steps get the announcement, wait-for-approval steps get presented and WAIT.
- Steps the operator performs (phone apps, pasting into editors, running
!-prefixed commands, approval taps): give exactly one instruction per message, then wait for the result before the next. Batched instructions get skipped or half-done.
- Certification: run the runbook's E2E matrix section completely. Report each check's actual result; a failed check stops the onboarding until fixed.
- Documentation duties: finish the runbook's same-session ledger section. Commit or push nothing unless the operator asks.
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.

agentmail-onboard is a skill published in the GitHub repository jdpalumbo2/workbench (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 741 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
