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 | $0.01539 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00616 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00308 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00154 |
Grade A, and why
octo-matter 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
octo-matter — the matters domain
A matter is the Octo equivalent of a task or todo. The domain has 17 operations across five groups: core CRUD, status transitions, assignees, channels, and timeline. Plus one LLM helper: matter extract.
Backend: matters service at $OCTO_API_BASE_URL/api/v1/matters.
Both App Bot and User Bot can call every operation in this domain.
1. Core CRUD
octo-cli matter create --title "Fix login bug" # required: --title (≤500 chars)
octo-cli matter list --status open --assignee-id me --limit 50 # cursor pagination
octo-cli matter get <id>
octo-cli matter update <id> --title "..." --description "..."
octo-cli matter delete <id> # soft delete
create also accepts --description (≤10 000), --assignee-ids (repeatable — supports me alias), --deadline (RFC3339), --remind-at (RFC3339), --source-channel-id, --source-channel-type (1=user, 2=group, 5=thread), --source-name.
list filters: --status, --assignee-id (me supported), --creator-id, --q <query>, --source-channel-id, --source-channel-type, --channel-id, --limit (default 20, max 100), --cursor.
2. Status transitions
There is no state machine — any status can move to any status.
octo-cli matter transition <id> --status done
octo-cli matter close <id> # alias → --status done
octo-cli matter reopen <id> # alias → --status open
octo-cli matter archive <id> # alias → --status archived
Valid values: open, done, archived.
3. Assignees
octo-cli matter assignee add <id> --user-id <uid>
octo-cli matter assignee remove <id> <uid>
--user-id accepts me to self-assign. Adding a user who is already assigned returns DUPLICATE_ASSIGNEE (validation error — recover by listing current assignees first).
4. Channels
Link a matter to a chat channel so conversations show up in context.
octo-cli matter channel link <id> --channel-id <cid> --channel-type 1 # 1=user 2=group 5=thread
octo-cli matter channel link <id> --channel-id <cid> --channel-type 2 --channel-name "#eng-ops"
octo-cli matter channel unlink <id> <channel_id>
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.

octo-matter is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mininglamp-OSS/octo-cli (920 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,539 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.
