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 | $0.00080 | $0.00359 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00179 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
eli5 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.
What it actually says
ELI5
Explain the requested thing in simple, everyday language.
Core Style
- Use short sentences.
- Use common words.
- Avoid jargon unless it is the thing being explained.
- If jargon is needed, define it immediately.
- Prefer one concrete example over abstract explanation.
- Do not sound childish or patronizing.
- Do not add unrelated background.
Workflow
- Identify what should be simplified. If the user says "det som precis förklarades", use the previous assistant answer.
- State the simple version first.
- Add a small example or analogy if it helps.
- Mention practical consequence: what the user can do or should understand from it.
Output Shape
For a short source, default to 2-5 short sentences; match the source's length when it has several distinct points.
Use bullets only when the original topic has several parts that need separation.
If the user asks for Swedish, answer in Swedish. If the language is unclear, match the user's language.
Guardrails
- Preserve the original claims, caveats, and conclusions. Simplify rather than summarize unless the user asks for a summary.
- Do not invent missing facts.
- For risky domains such as legal, medical, finance, tax, accounting, or security, keep the explanation simple but include the key caveat.
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.

eli5 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Magnus-Gille/claude-skills (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 359 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
