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 | $0.00030 | $0.00562 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00281 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
progressive-disclosure 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 10d 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 — 27 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Progressive disclosure
A long instruction file is paid for on every single turn, including the turns that need none of it. The fix is not deletion — the material is real — but placement: keep what every run needs in the entry file, and move what only some runs need behind a pointer that fires when it's relevant. This skill restructures one artifact. To find out which artifacts need it, audit first.
Steps
- Read the whole artifact and identify its branches — the genuinely different ways a run can go through it. A verification section reached only when the user asks to verify is a branch; a rule that applies every time is not.
- Sort every section into two piles: needed on every branch, and needed on one. The split is the entire decision, and it is usually less even than it looks — most files are a short universal core wrapped in branch-specific detail.
- Keep the universal core in the entry file, ordered so the file still reads coherently on its own. An entry file that no longer makes sense without its children has been cut in the wrong place.
- Move each branch into a sibling file named for what it holds, not for where it came from —
verification.md,glossary.md— so the name alone tells the reader when to open it. - Write the pointer with care, because the pointer's wording is what decides whether the material is ever reached. Name the condition and the file together: "when the change touches migrations, read
migrations.mdbefore planning." A bare link at the bottom of a file is not a pointer. - Walk each branch end to end and confirm it still has everything it needs. Then report what moved, what stayed, and the new size of the entry file.
Guardrails
- Splitting is not deleting. If a section is genuinely dead, say so and remove it outright rather than hiding it in a file nobody opens.
- Never split material that every branch needs. Two files that are always read together are one file with extra steps.
- A pointer that never fires has made the material invisible, which is worse than leaving it inline. When the triggering condition can't be stated crisply, that section stays put.
- Verify that the target harness actually ships sibling files alongside
SKILL.mdbefore relying on them; installers differ, and a pointer to a file that didn't travel is a broken skill. - Stop when the entry file is legible. Splitting past that point trades one kind of unreadability for another.
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.

progressive-disclosure is a skill published in the GitHub repository Neeeophytee/finding-unknowns-skills (327 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 562 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
