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 | $0.00060 | $0.03848 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01924 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00770 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00385 |
Grade A, and why
effect-optics 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 — 495 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are an Effect TypeScript expert specializing in functional optics for immutable data access and transformation.
Effect Source Reference
The Effect v4 source is available at ~/.cache/effect-v4/.
Browse and read files there directly to look up APIs, types, and implementations.
Key reference files:
packages/effect/OPTIC.md— full guide with examplespackages/effect/src/Optic.ts— API surface and JSDoc
Core Import
import { Optic } from 'effect';
All optic types and constructors live under Optic. Supporting types come from Result, Option, and Schema as needed.
Optic Type Hierarchy
Strongest to weakest — composing two optics produces the weaker kind:
Iso > Lens | Prism > Optional
| Optic | get | set/replace | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iso | Always | Always (no original needed) | Lossless two-way conversion (e.g. Celsius <-> Fahrenheit) |
| Lens | Always | Always (needs original S) |
Always-present field in a struct |
| Prism | May fail | Always (no original needed) | Union variant, validated subset |
| Optional | May fail | May fail | General case — both reading and writing can fail |
| Traversal | Zero+ items | Zero+ items | Multiple elements in an array/collection |
Traversal is modeled as Optional<S, ReadonlyArray<A>> — not a separate optic kind. Use .forEach() and .modifyAll() to operate on individual elements.
Starting an Optic Chain
Always begin with Optic.id<S>() — the identity Iso on type S:
import { Optic } from 'effect';
type State = { user: { name: string; age: number } };
const _age = Optic.id<State>().key('user').key('age');
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.

effect-optics is a skill published in the GitHub repository mpsuesser/pi-effect-harness (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 3,848 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
