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 | $0.00831 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00415 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00166 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00083 |
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 8d 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 — 87 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.
- 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 set, THEN return that type. - 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 |
|---|---|---|
bool |
true or false |
yes/no, is/are, does/do, can/should |
int |
bare digits: 5 |
how many, count, index, line number |
float |
bare decimal: 0.42 |
ratio, percentage, average, duration |
str |
the bare string, no quotes | a name, a path, a command, a single value |
list |
numbered markdown list | steps, an ordered procedure, a ranking |
set |
bullet markdown list | items where order carries no meaning |
boolistrue/false, neverYes/No.intandfloatcarry no unit, no thousands separator, no words.5, not5 sub-agents.floatkeeps the precision the question implies. Do not pad zeros.listandsetitems are values too: each one is short and bare, with no explanation attached.- Order matters in a
listand never in aset. IF unsure which, THEN return aset. - NEVER wrap the value in a code fence unless the value is itself code.
The check
Before you deliver the value, run check-value.py from this skill's folder. Give it the
value on stdin. IF type is set, THEN pass --type. IF type is not set, THEN pass
--question with the question of the user, and the script infers the type.
What ships with it
1 file 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 (2 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 831 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
