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 | $0.00058 | $0.02958 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01479 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00592 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00296 |
Grade A, and why
using-axis 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 2d 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 — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Using AXIS
AXIS (Agent Experience Index Score) is a synthetic testing framework for AI agents. This skill is the operator's guide: how to invoke the CLI, where AXIS writes files, and how to read the scoring output.
For authoring scenarios and axis.config.json, see the configure-axis skill.
When to use this skill
Trigger phrases include "run AXIS", "compare runs", "explain this score", "which scenario regressed", "set a baseline", "where does AXIS put its reports", "what does this dimension mean".
Refer to the framework's output as the AXIS Result. The acronym is Agent Experience Index Score.
CLI commands
The binary is axis (or npx @netlify/axis without a global install).
axis init
Scaffold axis.config.json and a sample scenario, then install AXIS skills via npx skills.
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
-s, --scenarios <path> |
Scenarios directory (default ./scenarios) |
-a, --agent <names> |
Comma-separated agents (e.g. claude-code,codex) |
--format <format> |
json (default), js, or ts |
-f, --force |
Overwrite existing files |
--no-skills |
Skip the automatic skills install |
axis run
Execute every scenario against every configured agent in isolated workspaces, score the results, and write a report.
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
-c, --config <path> |
Config path (default discovers axis.config.{json,js,ts,mjs}) |
-s, --scenario <keys> |
Comma-separated keys with glob support (cms/*, hello-*) |
-a, --agent <names> |
Comma-separated agent names with glob support (claude-code|*) |
--concurrency <n> |
Max parallel jobs (default 15) |
--failed [reportId] |
Re-run only failed pairs from a prior report (default latest) |
--no-score |
Skip the LLM judges, write raw results only |
--compare-baseline [name] |
Diff results against a saved baseline (default main) |
--refresh-skills |
Force re-clone of remote skills cached under .axis/skills-cache/ |
--json |
Emit JSON to stdout instead of the live TTY display |
-v, --verbose |
Per-step logging |
--debug |
Capture raw agent stdout into {agent}.debug.ndjson |
-o, --output-dir <dir> |
Also write the report manifest to this directory |
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.

using-axis is a skill published in the GitHub repository netlify/axis (55 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,958 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.
