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 | $0.00022 | $0.00540 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00270 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
explain-issue 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 3d 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
Explain Issue
Explain the specified issue type with overview, detection conditions, code examples, and solution approaches.
Issue Types
Global Complexity
- Condition: Strong coupling + far distance
- Formula:
STRENGTH >= 0.5 AND DISTANCE >= 0.5 - Fix: Introduce traits, move modules, facade pattern
Cascading Change Risk
- Condition: Strong coupling + high volatility
- Formula:
STRENGTH >= 0.5 AND VOLATILITY >= 0.5 - Fix: Stable interface layer, dependency inversion
Inappropriate Intimacy
- Condition: Intrusive coupling across boundaries
- Formula:
STRENGTH = 1.0 AND DISTANCE > 0.0 - Fix: Encapsulation,
pub(crate)usage
High Efferent Coupling
- Condition: Module has too many outgoing dependencies
- Threshold: Default 15
- Fix: Module splitting, facade pattern
High Afferent Coupling
- Condition: Module has too many incoming dependencies
- Threshold: Default 20
- Fix: Interface introduction, responsibility distribution
Unnecessary Abstraction
- Condition: Weak coupling + near distance + low volatility
- Formula:
STRENGTH < 0.3 AND DISTANCE < 0.3 AND VOLATILITY < 0.3 - Fix: Remove abstraction, use direct implementation
Explanation Structure
For each issue type, include:
- Overview: Concise description
- Why problematic: Concrete negative impacts
- Detection conditions: Formula and thresholds
- Code examples: Before/After Rust code
- Solution approaches: Multiple resolution methods
- Design principles: SOLID, Khononov Balance, Rust idioms
Reference
- Balancing Coupling in Software Design
- Khononov Balance:
(STRENGTH XOR DISTANCE) OR NOT VOLATILITY
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.

explain-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository nwiizo/cargo-coupling (96 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 540 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 2026-09-01.
