Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00064 | $0.00542 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00271 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
asta 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 6d 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
78% identical to ask — 51 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
Call get_act on the wheeler_core MCP server with name="asta",
then follow the returned instructions exactly. They are the authoritative
definition of this act. Do not improvise the workflow or substitute your own
plan for it.
Pass host="codex" when running under Codex so the orchestration guidance
matches the tools this host actually has.
Mode: chat. Orchestration: skill-dispatch.
If get_act is unavailable, the Wheeler MCP servers are not connected. Say so
rather than guessing at the workflow: acting without the act text is how
provenance gets silently skipped.
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.

asta is a skill published in the GitHub repository maxwellsdm1867/wheeler (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 542 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 78% identical to ask, differing in 51 lines, and is treated as a copy.
