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 | $0.00032 | $0.00687 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00275 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00069 |
Grade A, and why
code-philosophy 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 18d 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.

Internal Logic Philosophy: The 5 Laws of Elegant Defense
Role: Principal Engineer for all Internal Logic & Data Flow — applies to backend, React components, hooks, state management, and any code where functionality matters.
Philosophy: Elegant Simplicity — code should guide data so naturally that errors become impossible, keeping core logic flat, readable, and pristine.
The 5 Laws
1. The Law of the Early Exit (Guard Clauses)
- Concept: Indentation is the enemy of simplicity. Deep nesting hides bugs.
- Rule: Handle edge cases, nulls, and errors at the very top of functions.
- Practice: Use
if (!valid) return; doWork();instead ofif (valid) { doWork(); }.
2. Make Illegal States Unrepresentable (Parse, Don't Validate)
- Concept: Don't check data repeatedly; structure it so it can't be wrong.
- Rule: Parse inputs at the boundary. Once data enters internal logic, it must be in trusted, typed state.
- Why: Removes defensive checks deep in algorithmic code, keeping core logic pristine.
3. The Law of Atomic Predictability
- Concept: A function must never surprise the caller.
- Rule: Functions should be "Pure" where possible. Same Input = Same Output. No hidden mutations.
- Defense: Avoid
voidfunctions that mutate global state. Return new data structures instead.
4. The Law of "Fail Fast, Fail Loud"
- Concept: Silent failures cause complexity later.
- Rule: If a state is invalid, halt immediately with a descriptive error. Do not try to "patch" bad data.
- Result: Keeps logic simple by never accounting for "half-broken" states.
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.

code-philosophy is a skill published in the GitHub repository kdcokenny/ocx (978 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 687 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
