A reference guide to the FAA Systems Engineering Manual. The FAA is the U.S. agency responsible for civil aviation, and systems engineering is the structured work of defining, building, and managing complex systems.

Use it to work with the FAA acquisition lifecycle, its five phases, decision points, operational concepts, and related systems-engineering activities.

It explains how the FAA applies systems engineering within its acquisition process and airspace programs.

Token cost

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	$0.00321	$0.04249
Opus 5	$0.00161	$0.02124
Sonnet 5	$0.00064	$0.00850

Security

Grade C, and why

faa-sem scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Files

What ships with it

12 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.

Changes

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.

faa-sem is a skill published in the GitHub repository jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs (5 stars, last pushed 21d ago), with no licence file. It adds 321 tokens to every session and 4,249 once invoked, about $0.0016 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
