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 | $0.00058 | $0.00733 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00293 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00147 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
saas-navigation 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 5d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Don't Make Users Think (About Navigation)
Jakob's Law dominates SaaS navigation: users spend most of their time in other apps and expect yours to work the same way. This is a measurable predictor of adoption speed.
Primary Navigation: Sidebar
The established pattern for complex SaaS is a left sidebar for primary navigation with a top bar for context and utilities.
When to use sidebar vs. header-only navigation:
| Use Case | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Small number of sections, no secondary hierarchy | Header-only (top) navigation |
| Nested navigation (every real SaaS product) | Left sidebar |
IBM Carbon's guidance is definitive: the moment nested navigation is needed — and every real SaaS product needs it — use a sidebar.
Command Palette (Cmd+K)
The command palette is the power-user signature of modern SaaS. Linear, Superhuman, Slack, Figma, Notion, Vercel, and GitHub all implement it.
Essential design rules (from Superhuman's engineering team):
- The same keyboard shortcut opens the palette from anywhere in the app
- Pressing the shortcut again dismisses it and restores previous focus
- Show keyboard shortcuts next to listed commands to teach power users
- Make the palette context-aware — surface relevant actions based on current view
- Do not conflate search and command palette — if search is a core feature, it exists at the same structural level, not buried inside the palette
Multi-Tenancy and Org Switching
Three models dominate:
| Model | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Single account, multiple orgs | GitHub | One user account added to multiple organizations |
| Separate accounts per org | Distinct accounts for each organization | |
| Hybrid (single account, multiple workspaces) | Linear, Notion | Single account, multiple workspaces |
Build for the hybrid model — it covers the widest range of products.
Placement:
- Sidebar header (Notion/Linear pattern)
- Top navigation (GitHub/Vercel pattern)
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.
- 5d ago First seen · 73 lines · 58 tokens per session scan A 658f52479d04
saas-navigation is a skill published in the GitHub repository oborchers/fractional-cto (32 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 733 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 2026-10-13.
