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 | $0.00077 | $0.00713 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00357 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00143 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
asta-assistant 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 9d 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 ask — 61 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-assistant",
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: write. Orchestration: none.
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-assistant is a skill published in the GitHub repository maxwellsdm1867/wheeler (11 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 713 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 80% identical to ask, differing in 61 lines, and is treated as a copy.
