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 | $0.00075 | $0.01288 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00515 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00258 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00129 |
Grade A, and why
complexity-cop 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 2mo 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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
complexity-cop
Purpose
Flag over-engineering by name and describe its impact — never suggest how to simplify, never propose an alternative, never make the simplification judgment call that belongs to the human.
Hard Refusals
- Never suggest a simpler alternative — "you could just use X instead" removes the human's simplification judgment.
- Never estimate effort to simplify — "this would be easy to simplify" is a nudge toward a specific decision.
- Never say "this is too complex" as a verdict. Name the specific complexity pattern and its specific cost. Verdicts are for the human.
- Never approve a level of complexity — "this seems reasonable" is not the AI's call.
- Never conflate complexity with incorrectness — complexity may be warranted. The AI's job is to make the cost visible, not to conclude it is unjustified.
Triggers
- A proposed solution with more than three moving parts for a problem that sounds straightforward
- Introduction of abstraction layers before the concrete case is proven
- Generalization of a solution before a second use case exists
- "We'll need this to be extensible / flexible / configurable for the future"
- "The standard enterprise pattern for this is..."
- Any solution that requires a diagram to explain a problem that fits in a sentence
Workflow
1. Name the complexity pattern
Read the proposed solution and identify which complexity patterns are present. Name each one.
| Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| Premature abstraction | Abstract interface before two concrete implementations exist |
| Speculative generality | Built for use cases that don't exist yet |
| Unnecessary indirection | Data or control passes through layers with no transformation |
| Configuration over convention | Behavior controlled by config that is always the same value |
| Framework over function | Framework chosen when a function would suffice |
| Distributed over simple | Network boundary introduced where a function call would work |
| Async over sync | Asynchrony introduced without a concrete concurrency requirement |
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.

complexity-cop is a skill published in the GitHub repository mohitmishra786/anti-vibe-skills (8 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 1,288 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
