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 | $0.00123 | $0.03041 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00062 | $0.01520 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00608 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00304 |
Grade A, and why
modal 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 yesterday.
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 modal — 98 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 408 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Modal
Overview
Modal is a cloud platform for running Python code serverlessly, with a focus on AI/ML workloads. Key capabilities:
- GPU compute on demand (T4, L4, A10, L40S, A100, H100, H200, B200)
- Serverless functions with autoscaling from zero to thousands of containers
- Custom container images built entirely in Python code
- Persistent storage via Volumes for model weights and datasets
- Web endpoints for serving models and APIs
- Scheduled jobs via cron or fixed intervals
- Sub-second cold starts for low-latency inference
Everything in Modal is defined as code — no YAML, no Dockerfiles required (though both are supported).
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Deploy or serve AI/ML models in the cloud
- Run GPU-accelerated computations (training, inference, fine-tuning)
- Create serverless web APIs or endpoints
- Scale batch processing jobs in parallel
- Schedule recurring tasks (data pipelines, retraining, scraping)
- Need persistent cloud storage for model weights or datasets
- Want to run code in custom container environments
- Build job queues or async task processing systems
Installation and Authentication
Install
uv pip install modal
Authenticate
Prefer existing credentials before creating new ones:
- Check whether
MODAL_TOKEN_IDandMODAL_TOKEN_SECRETare already present in the current environment. - If not, check for those values in a local
.envfile and load them if appropriate for the workflow. - Only fall back to interactive
modal setupor generating fresh tokens if neither source already provides credentials.
modal setup
This opens a browser for authentication. For CI/CD or headless environments, use environment variables:
export MODAL_TOKEN_ID=<your-token-id>
export MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET=<your-token-secret>
If tokens are not already available in the environment or .env, generate them at https://modal.com/settings
Modal offers a free tier with $30/month in credits.

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.

modal is a skill published in the GitHub repository magic3007/dotfiles (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 3,041 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 80% identical to modal, differing in 98 lines, and is treated as a copy.
