Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00013 | $0.01356 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00678 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00271 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
mention-conventions 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.
- 7d ago First seen · 188 lines · 13 tokens per session scan A ca89b466c3c8
mention-conventions is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmagly/aiwg (210 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 1,356 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
state
Use when the user says 'update state', 'project state', 'where was I', or at session start to load current context.
gstack-sprint
3-Phase Sprint workflow — design → execute → review with user interaction at decision points.
dos-dispatch
Plan and ship the next batch on one lane: run dos-next-up, acquire a lease with dos arbitrate, gate empty work, dispatch the packet, and archive the run. Use when a single lane should move end to end with collision safety.
dos-class-cycle
Run one DOS plan-class lifecycle tick from the workspace [lifecycle] table: evaluate declared transitions, have a judge approve/defer them, write gated plan-meta edits, and log the cycle. Use when gardening plan lifecycle classes automatically.
pace-bridge
Use to bridge a confirmed Superpowers/native plan into PACEflow CHG/HOTFIX artifacts, create artifact-writer prompts, and mark the specific plan as synced.
task-copilot
Use when work should be tracked with tc, including creating PRDs, tasks, handoffs, logs, and work products, or when preserving detailed outputs outside the chat context.
