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.

SkillSpector: 5 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00057 | $0.04964 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.01986 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00993 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00496 |
Grade A, and why
nw-design 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.

NW-DESIGN: Architecture Design
Wave: DESIGN (wave 3 of 6) | Agents: Morgan (nw-solution-architect), nw-system-designer, nw-ddd-architect | Command: *design-architecture
Overview
Execute DESIGN wave through discovery-driven architecture design. The command starts with two interactive decisions:
- Design Scope — routes to the right architect: system-level (@nw-system-designer), domain-level (@nw-ddd-architect), application-level (@nw-solution-architect), or full stack (all three in sequence).
- Interaction Mode — guide (architect asks questions, you decide together) or propose (architect reads requirements, presents 2-3 options with trade-offs).
All architects write to docs/product/architecture/brief.md (SSOT), each in its own section. Analyzes existing codebase, evaluates open-source alternatives, produces C4 diagrams (Mermaid) as mandatory output.
Output Tiers (per D2)
Provenance: feature lean-wave-documentation — D2 (schema-typed sections), D10 (one-line expansion descriptions). Tier-1 [REF] sections (always emitted) + Tier-2 EXPANSION CATALOG items (lazy, on-demand) are the two output bands. Full contract: nWave/skills/nw-density-resolution-contract/SKILL.md.
Tier-1 [REF] — always emitted
Under ## Wave: DESIGN / [REF] <Section> headings:
- DDD list — D-numbered design decisions with verdicts and one-line rationale
- Component decomposition — table of components with paths and change types
- Driving ports — inbound surfaces (CLI, skill, HTTP) named per the C4 contract
- Driven ports + adapters — outbound side-effects with adapter mapping
- Technology choices — pinned languages/frameworks/runtime versions
- Decisions table — DDD-N row per locked decision (no rationale prose)
- Reuse Analysis table — every overlapping component classified EXTEND or CREATE NEW
- Open questions — items deliberately deferred to DISTILL/DELIVER
Tier-2 EXPANSION CATALOG — lazy, on-demand (per D10)
Rendered under ## Wave: DESIGN / [WHY|HOW] <Section> only when requested via --expand <id> (DDD-2), the broad wave-end menu (expansion_prompt = "ask"), a declared trigger under expansion_prompt = "ask-intelligent", mode = "full" auto-expansion, or an ad-hoc user request mid-session.
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 · 280 lines · 57 tokens per session scan A 288b83d71b1d
nw-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (623 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 4,964 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
