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 | $0.00047 | $0.00279 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00139 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
developer-onboarding 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 7d 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
Developer Onboarding
Core Workflow
- Identify the target developer, prerequisites, platform assumptions, and first useful task.
- Read existing setup scripts, package files, docs, tests, and repo structure.
- Document setup, verification, common workflows, project layout, contribution path, and troubleshooting links.
- Keep commands copyable and scoped by operating system or host when they differ.
- Include validation checks so the user knows setup succeeded.
- Flag missing automation, stale commands, or unclear ownership.
Safety Rules
- Do not invent setup commands or environment variables.
- Do not include secrets or private service credentials in docs.
- Do not make one vendor or host mandatory when the repo supports alternatives.
Deliverable Shape
For onboarding docs, provide:
- Audience and prerequisites
- Setup steps
- Verification checks
- Repository map
- Common workflows
- Contribution path
- Troubleshooting notes
- Open gaps
References
- Read
references/developer-onboarding-checklist.mdwhen writing or reviewing onboarding docs.
What ships with it
2 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.
