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.

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 | $0.00137 | $0.05910 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00068 | $0.02955 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01182 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00591 |
Grade A, and why
monitoring-alerting 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 11d 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.

§1 Scope
In scope — monitoring and alerting for production backend services:
- SLI (Service Level Indicator) definition and measurement
- SLO (Service Level Objective) target setting and error budget
- Prometheus alerting rules (PromQL,
forduration, severity labels) - Burn-rate alerting (multi-window, multi-burn-rate SLO alerts)
- Grafana dashboard design (layout, variable templating, panel types)
- Alert routing configuration (PagerDuty/OpsGenie/Slack, severity-based routing)
- Alert fatigue audit (noise ratio, actionability, deduplication)
- Label cardinality management (high-cardinality label detection)
- On-call runbook integration (alert → runbook → action mapping)
Out of scope — delegate to dedicated skills:
- Metrics/tracing instrumentation in code →
go-observability-review - Application performance profiling →
go-benchmark - Infrastructure provisioning (Prometheus/Grafana setup) → ops tooling
- Log aggregation pipeline design → separate skill

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.
- 11d ago First seen · 385 lines · 137 tokens per session scan A ca503f7034a7
monitoring-alerting is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnqtcg/awesome-skills (30 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 137 tokens to every session and 5,910 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
