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 | $0.00101 | $0.03493 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.01397 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00699 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00349 |
Grade A, and why
realign scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 232 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Arguments. [finding-id ...]. Default: every finding awaiting a decision, in ranked order
Pre-computed context
!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/precompute.sh" realign 2>/dev/null || echo "- Orientation unavailable"
Purpose
Execute what the audit found, one finding at a time, with the operator deciding each one. This is
the mutating surface for audit findings (/instruction-placement:migrate is the other mutating
skill, and it owns a repository's move to AGENTS.md), and the per-item gate below is the entire
reason it is safe to point at a repository nobody has reviewed.
What makes these edits unusual is their target: every file this skill touches is a file that steers the agent's own behavior. A bad code edit fails a test. A bad instruction edit quietly changes what the agent does in every future session, and nothing goes red.
Read these before executing anything
Not restated here. A paraphrase inside a proposal is a drift seed.
| Read | For |
|---|---|
../../context/findings-artifact.md |
The artifact's location, fields, status vocabulary, merge rules, and the finding-id constituents a suppression entry is keyed by |
../../reference/consumer-config.md |
The suppression surface a decline is recorded on: its layers, its per-key merge, and the offered-never-taken rule |
../../context/routing-rubric.md |
The hard-deny classes and what each destination means |
../../context/verified-mechanics.md |
When the shim is what makes a nested AGENTS.md load, and why the index exists |
context/apply-recipes.md |
The exact edit sequence per destination, and the verification each one owes |
The per-item gate
Nothing mutates without an explicit acceptance of that finding, from the operator, at the moment it is presented. Say so in the run's opening line, then hold it literally.
What ships with it
2 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.

realign is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (26 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 3,493 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
