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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00065 | $0.03381 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01690 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00676 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00338 |
Grade A, and why
building-glamorous-tuis 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 12d 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

Decision Guide
Is it a shell script?
├─ Yes → Use Gum
│ Need recording? → VHS
│ Need AI? → Mods
│
└─ No (Go application)
│
├─ Just styled output? → Lip Gloss only
├─ Simple prompts/forms? → Huh standalone
├─ Full interactive TUI? → Bubble Tea + Bubbles + Lip Gloss
│ │
│ └─ Production-grade? → Also add elite patterns:
│ (multi-view, data- two-phase async, immutable snapshots,
│ dense, must be adaptive layout, focus state machine,
│ fast & polished) semantic theming, pre-computed styles
│ → See Production Architecture reference
│
└─ Need SSH access? → Wish + Bubble Tea
Shell Scripts (No Go Required)
brew install gum # One-time install
# Input
NAME=$(gum input --placeholder "Your name")
# Selection
COLOR=$(gum choose "red" "green" "blue")
# Fuzzy filter from stdin
BRANCH=$(git branch | gum filter)
# Confirmation
gum confirm "Continue?" && echo "yes"
# Spinner
gum spin --title "Working..." -- long-command
# Styled output
gum style --border rounded --padding "1 2" "Hello"
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
