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 | $0.00069 | $0.00580 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00290 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00116 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
lore-brief 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 9d 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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Lore Brief
Use this when the user wants a continuity brief, daily recap, or proposal-only synthesis from Lore. Default window is the rolling last 24 hours ending at run time unless the user supplies a window.
Workflow
- Compute retrieval bounds: local date label for humans, explicit ISO
fromIso/toIsovalues for output and--since/--untilvalues for Lore commands. - Run
lore status --json --since <iso> --until <iso>and stop on unhealthy status. If status ispossibly_unsyncedandschemaVersionis greater thansupportedSchemaVersion, do not recommend barelore syncas sufficient; say Lore must be updated before write/sync recovery can refresh the window. - Use
lore-recallevidence packet rules for searches and citations. - Produce a brief with
sideEffects: false. - Propose follow-up objects only. Do not create jobs, issues, wiki pages, skills, tasks, memory cards, code, or automations unless the user asks as a follow-up.
Output Sections
window:fromIso,toIso,timeZone,localDateLabel.completedActivity: evidence-backed work that finished in the window.openWork: unresolved work with cited ids or marked uncited.changes: evidence-backed changes to code, docs, skills, workflow, setup, or state.learnedSignals: things discovered while briefing.proposals: read-only suggestions usingreferences/proposal-vocabulary.md.memoryCardCandidates: decision, claim, commitment, artifact, contradiction, open_question.contradictionCandidates: both sides with evidence, no averaging.gaps: optional notes for what Lore could not prove.
Rules
- Always state
sideEffects: false. - Scheduled use is read-only synthesis, never mutation authority.
- Date labels shown to the user use local timezone; retrieval filters use explicit ISO instants.
- Contradictions preserve both sides and evidence. Do not resolve unless current artifacts prove a side.
- If evidence is stale, label it and propose verification instead of acting.
What ships with it
7 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.

lore-brief is a skill published in the GitHub repository jordanhindo/lore (14 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 580 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
