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 | $0.00021 | $0.00290 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00145 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00058 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
Contract-First Development 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 4d 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
Purpose
Prevent frontend-backend integration bugs by defining the contract before building either side.
When to use it
Starting a new feature that touches both frontend and backend.
Checklist
- Define the contract first: OpenAPI spec as the source of truth for request/response shapes, error codes, auth requirements, pagination.
- Codegen: use openapi-typescript, orval, or equivalent to generate client types from the spec.
- Shared types package: if not using codegen, maintain a shared package with types both sides import.
- Contract tests: use consumer-driven contracts (Pact) or request/response snapshot tests to catch drift.
- Breaking change protocol: deprecate fields before removing them; never silently rename or change types.
- Document the contract location: every contributor knows where to find the canonical spec.
Expected output
A documented API contract that both frontend and backend implement against, with automated checks preventing drift.
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.

Contract-First Development is a skill published in the GitHub repository niels-emmer/myace (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 290 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
