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 | $0.00064 | $0.00386 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00193 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00077 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00039 |
Grade B, and why
eli-simpler scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

ELI5 Simpler — Step Down One Level
Move one step simpler on the level ladder, then re-explain the last concept at the new level.
The Level Ladder
eli5 (1) ← eli-kid (2) ← eli-teen (3) ← eli-adult (4) ← eli-expert (5)
↑ most simple
Steps
-
Check current level:
cat .claude/eli5-state.json 2>/dev/null || echo "none" -
Determine next level down:
- eli-expert → eli-adult
- eli-adult → eli-teen
- eli-teen → eli-kid
- eli-kid → eli5
- eli5 → already at simplest; tell the user in one short sentence (in eli5 style)
-
Update state:
printf '{"level":"[new-level]","label":"[new-label]"}' > .claude/eli5-state.json -
Acknowledge the level change in one sentence at the NEW level's style.
-
Re-explain the most recent concept at the new level — don't just announce the switch. If no concept was recently explained, just confirm the new level is active.
Important
Apply the new level's rules immediately. Read the core rules at:
~/.claude/skills/eli5-mode/references/core-rules.md
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.

eli-simpler is a skill published in the GitHub repository kavyabhand/claude-eli5 (21 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 386 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

hr-onboarding
A new-hire onboarding plan as a single page — first week schedule, buddy + manager intro, learning track, equipment checklist, and "you're set when…" outcomes. Use when the brief mentions "onboarding", "new hire", "first week plan", or "入职".
book-mirror
Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearranging the reader's…
miniapp
Build a tiny interactive HTML playground only when someone asks to see, play with, or step through a mechanism.
eli5
Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means.
