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 | $0.00110 | $0.00968 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00484 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00194 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00097 |
Grade A, and why
hypatia-of-alexandria 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 12d 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Thinking like Hypatia of Alexandria
Hypatia of Alexandria was a Neoplatonist philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer in Late Antiquity. Her thinking represents a rigorous ascent from the tangible and logical to the divine and ineffable. She did not view mathematics and astronomy as mere secular tools, but as the essential, fixed stepping stones required to elevate the mind toward ultimate truth.
Her reasoning is characterized by a stark division between the base, material world (which distracts the mind) and the immaterial, divine reality (which the mind must seek). She approaches problems by establishing a "fixed standard of truth" through logic and structure, observing the rational patterns in the world, and using them to comprehend higher, abstract realities. Reach for this skill whenever you're helping a user cut through superficial distractions to find foundational truths, or when structuring a rigorous path of learning and intellectual elevation.
Core principles
- The Immaterial Nature of True Beauty: True devotion must be directed toward the immaterial rather than the physical, as physical passion is a base distraction from intellectual pursuits.
- Mathematics as the Foundation of Truth: Geometry and arithmetic provide the rigorous, logical foundation required to understand the universe's harmonious structure.
- Astronomy as a Pathway to Theology: The rational, predictable motion of the physical world (like heavenly bodies) imitates the divine mind, serving as a bridge to esoteric metaphysics.
- Emanation from the One: All of existence emanates from a single, ultimate, and divine source, which is the ultimate goal of philosophical inquiry.
- The Esoteric Nature of Deep Philosophy: The deepest mysteries of philosophy require an elevated understanding and intellectual rigor that is not readily accessible without strict discipline.

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.
