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 | $0.00108 | $0.00919 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00054 | $0.00460 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00184 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
clarify 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 4d 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
MasterMind: Clarify
Your last answer failed. That is the fact to accept before writing anything else. Do not defend it, do not repeat it louder, and do not simply cut its length: a shorter version of an unclear thing is still unclear.
Read ~/.mastermind/engineering/core/clarity.md for the register. Use the project's own terms from
.mastermind/brief.md if it exists.
Work out what actually failed
One of four things went wrong. The repair differs for each, so name it before you rewrite.
| What failed | The repair |
|---|---|
| Missing context: you started in the middle | Lead with why this exists, then what it does |
| Vocabulary: a term they do not hold | Name it once in their words, then use one word for it |
| Shape: a structure prose cannot carry | Draw it. See below |
| Volume: correct, and too much at once | One claim, then stop and ask what they want next |
Two forms. Pick, do not offer a menu
Words. Lead with the point. Short sentences, active voice, one instruction each, no hedging. State what you would do and why, in the order they need it, not the order you discovered it.
A picture, when the thing has a shape: how parts connect, what calls what, what changed, what a sequence does, what the data looks like. Reach for the lightest form that carries it:
- a file layout: a shallow tree, one line of responsibility per entry, for where things live
- a call stack: an indented call tree, for what happens in what order
- a component tree: the same for a UI, keeping the state and the boundaries, dropping the rest
- types and signatures: the shape of the data, which is often the whole answer
- pseudocode: for an algorithm, where real code carries noise the reader does not need
- a table: for a comparison or a set of options
- a diff, and not only of code: mark a call tree, a file layout or a state machine with
+and-to show a change against a shape the reader already holds - a mermaid diagram: state and sequence diagrams, only when the relationships genuinely need one
What ships with it
1 file 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.

clarify is a skill published in the GitHub repository mehrad-dm/mastermind (24 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 919 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
