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 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00187 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00093 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00037 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
alcatchupaad 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 4d 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
Run npx -y alignfirst ticket <ticket-id> --catchup to load the ticket history. If the ticket ID is unknown, run npx -y alignfirst ticket --catchup instead; the CLI deduces it from the branch. When it cannot, ask the user.
Then follow the aad protocol guide if it is already in context. Otherwise, run npx -y alignfirst guide aad and follow it; the output includes the ticket directory and work file rules. Do not use your own plan mode.
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.

alcatchupaad is a skill published in the GitHub repository paleo/alignfirst (86 stars, last pushed today), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 187 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 2026-09-08.

status-tracker
Use at the start of every coding session (read docs/status.md before any other action), at the end of every session (append handoff log entry), or when checking current progress, last-done work, in-flight tasks, or what's blocked. Triggers on session start/end, "where are we", "pick up where we left off", "handoff"…
