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 | $0.00032 | $0.00415 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00166 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
record-decision scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Record a Decision
You are recording a project decision using Kauri. The decision should be a deliberate choice with rationale — not a trivial implementation detail.
Before recording
- Check the existing taxonomy: use
kauri_taxonomy_listto see available tags. - Check for existing related decisions: use
kauri_querywith a text search to avoid duplicates.
Recording the decision
Use kauri_record with:
- title: A short, scannable title (the user provided: "$ARGUMENTS")
- body: The full rationale in markdown. Include:
- What was decided
- Why this option was chosen over alternatives
- Any constraints or trade-offs involved
- tags: One or more tags from the taxonomy. If nothing fits, use
allow_new_tags: true. - files: Any file paths this decision relates to (optional but valuable for staleness detection).
- links: IDs of related decisions (optional — creates bidirectional "see also" links).
- source:
agent:claude-code - scope:
project(default). Useuseronly if the user explicitly asks for a personal/cross-project decision.
When NOT to record
- Trivial implementation details (variable names, formatting)
- Temporary workarounds intended to be removed immediately
- Facts or observations (decisions are choices, not notes)
After recording
Confirm the record was created and show the user the ID and title.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 43 lines · 32 tokens per session scan A 432e8cab65f7
record-decision is a skill published in the GitHub repository mhashim6/kauri (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 415 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 2026-08-31.

A design guide for an agent status bar: a short, automatically updated summary of progress, remaining tasks, tool counts, errors, and system state placed near the latest model input.
context-engineering
A guide to organizing the instructions and information an AI agent receives at each step. It covers system prompts, tool descriptions, conversation history, on-demand skills, and protections against unsafe outside content.
kv-cache-design
A guide to arranging an AI agent's conversation so previously processed text can be reused. A KV cache stores intermediate results for earlier tokens, while a prompt cache reuses a stable beginning across requests.
agent-evaluation
A guide to measuring whether an AI agent works reliably on the tasks that matter. It covers repeatable test environments, program checks, human-like scoring rules, failure analysis, and experiments that separate model problems from system problems.
knowledge-org
A guide to organising large bodies of knowledge so an AI system can navigate relationships, summaries, and layers instead of searching only flat text chunks. It covers tree indexes, knowledge graphs, file-like structures, incremental updates, and long-term memory layouts.
post-training-strategy
A guide to choosing and planning ways to improve an AI model after its initial training. It explains when to add knowledge, teach a response format, use trial-and-error training, or use a smaller model to learn from a larger one.
