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 | $0.00056 | $0.01074 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00537 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00215 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
overcast-situation-room 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
overcast-situation-room
Use this skill to "monitor the situation": put a live, self-updating multi-panel
page over a case — wall tiles, a reverse-chron scan/monitor feed, a live GPS map,
and refreshing webcam/browser stills — so an operator watches the case evolve in
real time. Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for
exact flags.
Hard rule — opening the listener is an OPERATOR action. The agent NEVER runs
overcast situation/serve— starting a network listener is an operator act (invariant #10). A human runsovercast situationin its own terminal pane, or/situation onin the TUI (in-process, bound to the session). The agent only drives a page that is ALREADY running, viasituation status | set | stop.
Workflow
- Pick and verify the sources the page will show. Panels are auto-picked from the
configured sources, so decide what should be live first — GPS-bearing feeds
(
dispatch,flights,firms,overpass) feed the map;webcam/browserfeed the stills panel; anything scanned/monitored feeds the feed + wall:
overcast doctor --sources --json # which source creds resolve
overcast case init --json
overcast source list --json # what's registered/enabled for this case
overcast source add "dispatch:sf" --json # (example) add a rolling real-time feed
- Seed the monitors so fresh records land on the page. Either run a standing
monitor loop yourself (its own pane), or let the serving process own the cadence
with
--everyat serve time — pick ONE, not both:
overcast monitor --once --json # sanity pass: confirm sources resolve
overcast monitor --every 5m --limit 5 --json # standing loop (own pane) — OR use situation --every below
- Operator step (not the agent): a human starts the page in its own pane. It
BLOCKS on that process.
--everymakes the serving process own the monitor cadence too, so a separate loop isn't needed:
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.

overcast-situation-room is a skill published in the GitHub repository kdr/overcast (16 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,074 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.
