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 | $0.00014 | $0.01068 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00427 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
answer-as-type 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Func
The user called a function. Return its value. Nothing else.
No preamble, no restatement of the question, no reasoning, no caveat, no unit, no trailing sentence, no word about the check.
The first word of the request is $type.
- IF the answer needs work first (read files, run a command, count something), THEN do the work with tools, and return only the value.
- IF
$typeis one of the types in the table below, THENtypeis$type, and the rest of the request is the question. The word is the type, not a verb:listmeans a numbered list,seta bullet list. - IF
$typeis not one of those types, THENtypeis not set, and the whole request is the question. - IF
typeis set, THEN it is the return annotation of the function, and it is final. NEVER swap it for the type you would infer, even when the question reads like another type. Convert the answer into it, using the table below. - IF
typeis not set, THEN infer it from the question, using the table below. - IF the value cannot be computed, THEN return
Noneand nothing else.
Return types
| Type | Format | Infer it when the question asks for | Convert into it, when the question asks for something else |
|---|---|---|---|
bool |
true or false |
yes/no, is/are, does/do, can/should | whether any such thing exists |
int |
bare digits: 5 |
how many, count, index, line number | how many things answer the question |
float |
bare decimal: 0.42 |
ratio, percentage, average, duration | the number that answers it, as a decimal |
str |
the bare string, no quotes | a name, a path, a command, a single value | the answer on one line |
list |
numbered markdown list | steps, an ordered procedure, a ranking | the items, numbered, even when their order carries no meaning |
set |
bullet markdown list | items where order carries no meaning | the items, bulleted, even when they have an order |
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.

answer-as-type is a skill published in the GitHub repository MK27MK/no-bs-skills (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 1,068 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
connect
Install the scoped Antigravity permission hook.
hook-template
Generate hook script from template. Use when adding a new hook, wiring a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop/Notification hook, or scaffolding hook config for settings.json.
check-environment
Verify Claude, Codex, and Grok availability plus Director guidance, relay, agents, and skills. Audit optional hooks only when selected. Use after installation or when a native surface misbehaves.
agents
List all available agents (core, expert, self-evolving). Use when the user asks what agents are available or runs /agents.
handoff-gemini
Delegate long-context analysis, research, and large-document summarization to Google Gemini CLI (1M-token context) via non-interactive gemini -p, preserving Claude context. Use when the user says 'use gemini'/'hand off to gemini' or a task needs 100K+ tokens of context.
test-runner
Test execution reference: framework detection (pytest/jest/vitest/go/cargo/junit) and correct run/coverage commands, plus failure-analysis steps. Use when running tests, analyzing test failures, or verifying coverage after code changes.
