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 | $0.00067 | $0.02585 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.01293 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00517 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00259 |
Grade A, and why
agent-checkpointing 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 10d 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 — 407 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Checkpointing
Save, restore, replay, and debug agent execution with checkpoints.
Why Checkpointing?
- Recovery: Resume from failure without losing progress
- Debugging: Replay exact execution path
- Branching: Try different paths from same checkpoint
- Audit: Complete history of agent decisions
- Testing: Reproduce specific scenarios

Basic Checkpointing
Setup
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END
from langgraph.checkpoint.sqlite import SqliteSaver
from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver
# Development: SQLite
checkpointer = SqliteSaver.from_conn_string("./checkpoints.db")
# Production: PostgreSQL
checkpointer = PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(
"postgresql://user:pass@host/db"
)
# Compile graph with checkpointer
app = workflow.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)
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.

agent-checkpointing is a skill published in the GitHub repository latestaiagents/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,585 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 2026-08-31.
