PromptKit is a version-controlled library of reusable prompt components for engineering work, including personas, reasoning protocols, output formats, and task templates. Engineers use it to create repeatable prompts for activities such as specification work, debugging, code review, security audits, and change management across multiple engineering fields. The catalogue add-ons provide agent workflows for using this prompt-engineering system.
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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00039 | $0.00104 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00042 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00021 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00010 |
Grade A, and why
bootstrap 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
You must read and execute bootstrap.md in the repository root. Treat it
as the entry point and single source of truth for PromptKit component
discovery, template selection, parameter gathering, and prompt assembly.
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.

bootstrap is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/PromptKit (113 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 104 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.

kermt-pretrain-scratch
Pretrain a fresh KERMT model from scratch on a user-provided corpus. Builds a new vocabulary from the corpus, instantiates the model architecture from defaults, and launches pretrainddp.py inside the kermt container (detached for long runs). Unlike kermt-continue-pretrain, no starting checkpoint is loaded — the model…
