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 | $0.00051 | $0.00296 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00118 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
temporal-caching 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 22d 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.
What it actually says
Temporal Caching
In a system-time versioned table, system_from changes whenever a record changes, so it serves as a built-in cache validator. No separate version columns, ETag tables, or change tracking are needed. See the temporal-data:temporal-data skill for the underlying schema and query conventions.
| Pattern | Mechanism | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Global watermark | Client stores max system_from of a collection and polls for newer records |
Feeds, dashboards, "what's new since I last checked" |
| Predicate watermark | Parent stores max system_from of its children in a denormalized column |
"Have any of this user's blueprints changed?" |
| Item watermark | system_from of the current row is the ETag; server returns 304 when it matches |
Single resources fetched repeatedly |
| Global + item | Global for the list, item for detail views | Feed page with detail drill-down |
What ships with it
3 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.

temporal-caching is a skill published in the GitHub repository motlin/claude-code-plugins (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 296 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 2026-09-04.
