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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00012 | $0.01907 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00954 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00381 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00191 |
Grade A, and why
reference-list-builder 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to reference-list-builder — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 348 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Reference List Builder
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Needs to create a professional reference list
- Wants help choosing the right references
- Needs to format references properly
- Is preparing references for job applications
- Mentions: "references", "reference list", "professional references", "reference check"
Core Capabilities
- Format professional reference lists
- Guide reference selection strategy
- Prepare reference briefing materials
- Anticipate reference check questions
- Handle difficult reference situations
- Coordinate reference outreach
Reference Strategy
Who Makes a Good Reference?
Ideal References:
- Former direct managers (most important)
- Senior colleagues who observed your work
- Cross-functional partners
- Clients or customers
- Direct reports (for leadership roles)
- Professors or advisors (for recent graduates)
Reference Hierarchy:
- Most Valuable: Recent direct supervisor
- Very Valuable: Senior leaders who know your work
- Valuable: Peers and cross-functional partners
- Acceptable: Clients, vendors, professors
- Avoid: Friends, family, HR contacts only
Who to Avoid
- ❌ Current employer (without permission)
- ❌ People who barely know you
- ❌ References from 10+ years ago only
- ❌ Personal friends (unless specified)
- ❌ People who might give lukewarm feedback
- ❌ Anyone you haven't contacted in advance

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.

reference-list-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository opencue/cuecards (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,907 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to reference-list-builder, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
release
Cut a paad release — pick the semver bump from what is in [Unreleased], run make release, merge, tag, and verify the published plugin.
backlog
EXPERIMENTAL. Use when working the project-wide out-of-scope backlog at paad/code-reviews/backlog.md — cleaning it of entries that are already fixed or gone, or picking the next entry and fixing it end-to-end. Not for producing backlog entries — that is /agentic-review — and not for reviewing a branch diff.
agentic-architecture
Use when assessing the architectural health of a codebase — before a major refactor, when onboarding to an unfamiliar repo, after rapid growth, when planning a redesign, or to surface structural strengths and risks before they become expensive. Not for fixing what it finds, and not for reviewing a branch diff.
agentic-review
Use when reviewing current branch for bugs before pushing or merging, when wanting a thorough multi-agent review of local changes, or when preparing work for human review. Not for codebase structure, not for code style, and not for fixing what it finds.
ccg-annotate
AI-driven annotation workflow for adding structured metadata to code. Annotations are indexed and searchable via FTS.
ccg-docs
Generate Markdown documentation from code graphs, build RAG indexes for AI consumption, and lint documentation quality.
