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 | $0.00048 | $0.00758 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00379 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00152 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
readme-style-guide 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 12d 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
README Style Guide
Standard structure, tone, and content rules for Wicked Garden plugin READMEs.
Canonical Section Order
Every plugin README follows this structure. Sections marked CONDITIONAL include their trigger rule.
1. # wicked-garden ← h1 + tagline (REQUIRED)
2. ## {Lifecycle/Value Section} ← CONDITIONAL: value invisible in single command
3. ## Quick Start ← REQUIRED: 3 commands max
4. ## {Core Workflows} ← REQUIRED: 2-3 real scenarios with output
5. ## Commands ← REQUIRED: reference table
6. ## When to Use What ← CONDITIONAL: 3+ commands with overlapping scope
7. ## How It Works ← CONDITIONAL: mechanism is part of value prop
8. ## Agents / Skills ← REQUIRED if plugin has agents or skills
9. ## Data API ← CONDITIONAL: plugin exposes CP data sources
10. ## Integration ← REQUIRED: 3-column table
11. ## License ← REQUIRED
Tagline Rules
The first line after the h1 heading is the tagline. It must:
- Be one sentence making a specific, differentiating claim
- Name the behavior or outcome, NOT the category
- Be falsifiable — a reader can verify whether it's true
GOOD: "Structural code intelligence across 73 languages — trace a JSP field to its database column."
BAD: "A code search plugin for Claude Code."
GOOD: "Cross-session memory with signal-based recall and automatic decay."
BAD: "A memory management plugin."
Quick Start Rules
Exactly 3 commands, labeled:
- Install command
- First win (simplest useful command)
- Most common use case
No prose explanations in Quick Start. That goes in Workflows or How It Works.
Workflow Section
Appears BEFORE the Commands reference table. Workflows persuade; Commands reference.
Each workflow: heading + code block (3-5 commands) + optional expected output block. Show real output when possible — what does the user actually see?
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.

readme-style-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository mikeparcewski/wicked-garden (9 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 758 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 2026-08-31.
