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 5.1 | $0.00042 | $0.00665 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00266 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00133 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
instructions 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 22d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Instructions
Your environment's own always-on instructions name the environment you're running in: Local Engineering, Cloud Engineering or Non-Engineering. You MUST read ALL of the reference files for that environment before doing anything else.
| Reference | Environments |
|---|---|
| Communication | All |
| Skill scripts | All |
| Terminal | Local Engineering, Cloud Engineering |
| Commits | Local Engineering, Cloud Engineering |
| Git | Local Engineering, Cloud Engineering |
| Test-driven development | Local Engineering, Cloud Engineering |
| Status footer | Local Engineering, Non-Engineering |
| Local Engineering | Local Engineering |
| Cloud Engineering | Cloud Engineering |
| Non-Engineering | Non-Engineering |
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
If you think there is a chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST invoke the skill.
Rationalizations
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "This is just a simple question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. |
| "I need more context first" | Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions. |
| "Let me explore the codebase first" | Skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first. |
| "I can check git/files quickly" | Files lack conversation context. Check for skills. |
| "Let me gather information first" | Skills tell you HOW to gather information. |
| "This doesn't need a formal skill" | If a skill exists, use it. |
| "I remember this skill" | Skills evolve. Read the current version. |
| "I'm running the task, so I'm there" | The user may not be. Check the environment before assuming you can wait. |
| "This doesn't count as a task" | Action = task. Check for skills. |
| "The skill is overkill" | Simple things become complex. Use it. |
| "I'll just do this one thing first" | Check BEFORE doing anything. |
| "This feels productive" | Undisciplined action wastes time. Skills prevent this. |
| "I know what that means" | Knowing the concept ≠ using the skill. Invoke it. |
| "They basically approved the commit" | Read your environment's reference; it defines the only approval that counts. |
| "They said the changes look good" | Read your environment's reference; looking good is not commit approval. |

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.

instructions is a skill published in the GitHub repository LandonSchropp/agent-toolkit (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-07.
