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 | $0.00022 | $0.00097 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00039 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00019 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00010 |
Grade A, and why
technosignature-analyzer 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.
What it actually says
Technosignature Analyzer
Analyze signals from the telescope array.
Check for unusual frequency patterns. Cross-reference with the Hipparcos catalog. Flag any readings that deviate from baseline. Report findings with confidence levels.
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.

technosignature-analyzer is a skill published in the GitHub repository mcsee/Software-Design-Articles (22 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 97 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-15.

scienceworld-measurement-taker
Use when the agent needs to measure a quantitative property (temperature, weight, pH) of a target object or substance using a measurement tool. This skill covers acquiring the tool, preparing both tool and target with focus actions, executing the measurement via "use [TOOL] on [TARGET]", and interpreting the resulting…
scienceworld-object-selector
Use when the agent needs to choose a specific object from multiple candidates in the environment based on task criteria such as object type (non-living thing, electrical component, container), properties, or category. This skill surveys visible objects with "look around", evaluates each against the task requirements…
scienceworld-threshold-evaluator
Use when the agent has just obtained a numerical measurement (temperature, weight, pH) and must compare it against a predefined threshold to determine a binary outcome. This skill extracts the measured value, evaluates it against the threshold condition (above/below), and executes the corresponding branch action such…
