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 | $0.00058 | $0.02650 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01325 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00530 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00265 |
Grade A, and why
calibrate 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 348 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Calibrate — Orchestrator
Hard stop. Evidence-based calibration. Realign to North Star.
Pattern: This skill uses the orchestrator-subagent pattern. Each phase runs in a fresh context for optimal performance. See
docs/guides/ORCHESTRATOR_SUBAGENT_PATTERN.md.
When This Applies
| Signal | Action |
|---|---|
| Phase completion | Run scheduled calibration |
| User says "calibrate" or "realign" | Run full protocol |
| Agents disagree on approach | Run challenge/synthesis |
| Drift detected | Ad-hoc calibration |
| User says "/calibrate" | Run full protocol |

What ships with it
6 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.
- 8d ago First seen · 348 lines · 58 tokens per session scan A 7fcb04cb847d
calibrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mburdo/knowledge_and_vibes (44 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,650 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
