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 | $0.00162 | $0.01638 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00655 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00328 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00164 |
Grade A, and why
msg 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
msg
This file is a router. Every mode's protocol lives in a ref — none is written here. The Dispatch table below is the single statement of msg's mode surface — do not restate it elsewhere in this file.
Dispatch
Check the invocation before running any picker. First match wins.
| Invocation | Also triggers on (natural language) | Route |
|---|---|---|
/msg --init (+ --cto / --eng) |
"initialise project", "bootstrap repo", "set up the framework", "start a new project" | refs/protocol-init.md |
/msg --init-staging |
"add a staging branch", "set up staging", "switch to a staged release flow" | refs/protocol-init-staging.md |
/msg --update |
"check for msg updates", "reinitialise this project", "resync my init setup", "are there new init components" | refs/protocol-update.md |
/msg --gui, or the bare word gui |
"open gui for PRDs", "show me the PRD board", "visualize my PRDs", "open kanban" | refs/protocol-gui.md — render directly, never call AskUserQuestion first |
/msg --doctor |
"check the harness", "what keeps failing", "run the doctor", "triage the incident log" | refs/protocol-doctor.md — tallies and triages devkit/DOCTOR.md; never fixes |
/msg --aha |
"prune the learnings", "sweep AHA", "trim the aha log", "triage the learnings ledger" | refs/protocol-aha.md — triages and compacts devkit/AHA.md; only write is the ledger itself, promotions stay recommendations |
/msg --version, or the bare word version |
"which msg is this", "what version of msg do I have", "did the reinstall land", "is msg up to date" | refs/protocol-version.md |
/msg --help |
— | refs/protocol-help.md |
/msg (no args) |
— | refs/protocol-default.md — the category/skill picker over the Skills table below |

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 91 lines · 162 tokens per session scan A 1052bd7f5d28
msg is a skill published in the GitHub repository ndisisnd/msg (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 1,638 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
