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 | $0.00000 | $0.00147 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00073 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00029 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
deprecation-migration-starter 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 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.
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.
This is a copy
80% identical to agronomic-experiment-design-starter — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Deprecation / migration Starter
Use this starter when a task lands in the Deprecation / migration frontier leaf and the repository has curated resources but no dedicated runtime implementation yet.
What this starter does
- Summarizes the local resource anchors for the leaf.
- Emits a machine-readable starter plan with promotion steps.
- Gives the agent a stable local entry point before a full runtime skill exists.
How to use it
Run python3 skills/meta-maintenance/deprecation-migration-starter/scripts/run_frontier_starter.py --out scratch/frontier/deprecation-migration-starter.json.
Then inspect refs.md and examples/resource_context.json to promote the starter into a concrete executable workflow.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
