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 | $0.00043 | $0.03057 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.01528 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00611 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00306 |
Grade A, and why
python-package-management 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.

Dependency Management
Uses uv for dependency management and poethepoet for task automation.
# Full setup (venv + install + prek hooks)
uv run poe setup
# Install dependencies from lockfile (frozen resolution with prerelease policy)
uv run poe install
# Create venv with specific Python version
uv run poe venv --python 3.12
# Intentionally upgrade a specific dependency to reduce lockfile conflicts
uv lock --upgrade-package <dependency-name> && uv run poe install
# Refresh exact development dependency-group pins, lockfile, and validation in one run
uv run poe upgrade-dev-dependencies
# Release cuts: refresh uv.lock and probe changed packages at both bound extremes.
# The release probe has a shared five-minute deadline.
uv run poe validate-python-release --base-ref upstream/main
# Exhaustive test+typing matrix (slow; use for deliberate dependency-range work or CI)
uv run poe validate-dependency-bounds-test
# Defaults to --package "*"; scope locally whenever possible.
uv run poe validate-dependency-bounds-test --package core
# Then expand bounds for one dependency in the target package
uv run poe validate-dependency-bounds-project --mode both --package core --dependency "<dependency-name>"
# Repo-wide automation can reuse the same task
uv run poe validate-dependency-bounds-project --mode upper --package "*"
# Add a dependency to one project and run both validators for that project/dependency
uv run poe add-dependency-and-validate-bounds --package core --dependency "<dependency-spec>"
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.

python-package-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/agent-framework (13,222 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 3,057 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
