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 | $0.00036 | $0.03097 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.01548 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00619 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00310 |
Grade A, and why
alcove-hub 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 11d 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 — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Alcove Hub
This is the high-level router for Alcove. Decide the storage target before writing.
Intent Routing
- knowledge article, copied source, discussion note, archive: managed KB inbox/knowledge.
- ambiguous record, remember, save this: ask one clarifying question unless the target is obvious.
- tiny durable reference, command, preference, shortcut:
pin --kind regular. - collection wording such as 收藏, 常用收藏, or 置顶收藏: search existing pins first; if a matching collection pin such as 常用收藏 exists, update that existing collection pin instead of only creating a separate pin.
- when saving a link with user-provided purpose, use case, or why-it-matters context, preserve that context in the target pin; do not save only the bare URL.
- future practice or deeper-study item that should stay visible:
pin --kind todo. - reusable instruction or agent prompt:
prompt. - local repo/path shortcut:
project. - todo, reminder, routine, follow-up:
taskoridea. - external folder or historical repo to search read-only:
mount. - exported/protocol data source such as Apple Notes or GitHub Stars:
connector. - blog monitoring, scheduled article checks, failure alerts, or phrases such as
监控博客更新 / 检查博客文章有没有更新:
blog monitor. - information radar, daily briefing, 技术雷达, 新闻雷达, 股票雷达, 体育资讯:
radar. - business-scoped conversation such as 家庭 workspace, 工作 workspace, travel workspace, or 场景工作区: use
workspaceto find or enter that lightweight business workspace. - Alcove feature work, maintenance, refactoring, docs alignment, tests, or phrases such as 优化 Alcove / 新增功能 / 修这个项目: route to the registered project/worktree, then apply that project's engineering rules. Do not save the request as a knowledge note unless the user explicitly asks for a note.
Project Development Protocol
- Most Alcove development requests still start in the Hub. Before changing code,
identify the target project and switch to its project entry so
AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md, hooks, and local skills are in scope. - For each user-facing change, run an entry-mode impact check: Hub workspace, managed-KB workspace, global MCP/command hints, CLI, local service/dashboard, docs, smoke, and AI eval.
- Update
alcove-hubwhen the feature changes how users should ask for, trigger, review, or save data from the Hub. Update managed-KB skills only for KB-local capture/inbox/OKF workflows. Keep global MCP lightweight unless a wider toolset is explicitly intended. - If no entry change is needed, say why in the completion summary.
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 207 lines · 36 tokens per session scan A 407f1e8aa782
alcove-hub is a skill published in the GitHub repository OctopusGarage/alcove (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 3,097 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
any-mcp
Use when an agent needs to read, search, create, edit, organize, upload, or chat with Anytype through the bounded any-mcp server. Covers safe tool selection, exact identifier chaining, optional toolsets, common PKM workflows, and the narrow anyr fallbacks for chat subscriptions and rich chat blocks.
wiki-switch
Switch between multiple Obsidian wiki vault profiles. Use this skill when the user says "/wiki-switch NAME", "switch to my work wiki", "switch vault", "change wiki", "which wiki am I on", "list my wikis", "show my vaults", "create a new vault config", or "add a new wiki profile". The skill manages named config files…
knowledge-base-management
A lifecycle system for managing an Obsidian knowledge base, which is a folder of linked notes. It organizes raw material, AI-maintained wiki pages, and generated views into separate layers.
reflect
Use Recall Reflect to review AI coding workflow history as a conversation-first timeline and discuss observed patterns before changing behavior. Trigger when the user asks to reflect on a project, review AI coding workflow, inspect workflow friction, discuss repeated corrections, review handoffs, or explore possible…
my-wiki
A skill for managing a local Markdown knowledge vault that stores captured webpages, PDFs, Office files, notes, images, folders, and ZIP files. It links preserved source material, called References, to durable topic pages, called Concepts.
anyr
Use when reading, searching, creating, or updating Anytype documents (objects, spaces, types, properties, files, chats) from the command line with the configured anyr CLI, including JSON output patterns for scripting.
