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 | $0.00165 | $0.01241 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00082 | $0.00620 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00248 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00124 |
Grade A, and why
deep-explainer 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 2d 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
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.

deep-explainer is a skill published in the GitHub repository kaizakin/dotfiles (8 stars, last pushed 6d ago), with no licence file. It adds 165 tokens to every session and 1,241 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-31.

interactive-concept-tutor
Use when the user wants to learn or understand a technical concept (an algorithm, a math derivation, an ML architecture, a systems internal) rather than just get a one-shot answer — triggers include "explain X", "teach me X", "help me understand X", or being stuck on a concept while reading a paper or code. Probe the…

Triggers: "study this with me", "help me understand", "digest this", "let's study this", "walk me through", "explain and test me", "active reading", "active-read this", "/active-read".
