What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00048 | $0.05620 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.02248 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.01124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00562 |
Grade A, and why
create-mode scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 18d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Create Mode
A guided journey for adding a new mode to Pneuma Skills. The journey has three phases — Discovery (ask the right questions), Brief (write down key choices and resolve material unknowns), Implementation (generate files). Each phase has a clear handoff to the next; never skip Brief. Pneuma has a stable contract layer; a concise design brief keeps the viewer aligned with the user's intended work.
This skill runs in Claude Code and Codex. Use the active harness's file, planning, browser, and question tools; native Claude tool names are not prerequisites. Resolve paths from this skill directory.
Apply the root product and architecture guidance and Engineering Judgment to the brief: identify domain invariants and ownership before choosing Source kinds or actions, and inspect existing modes and mature implementations before building anew.
The reference material in references/ is where the knowledge lives — go read the relevant one whenever you're about to make a meaningful decision. SKILL.md is the journey, not the textbook.
When to use
Trigger this skill when the user asks for any of:
- "create a new mode for X"
- "fork slide / webcraft / … for a different domain"
- "scaffold a mode"
- "add a [mindmap | spreadsheet | timeline | annotator | …] mode"
- "design the viewer for a mode that …"
If the user only asks about an existing mode's behavior, this skill is not the right tool — direct them to docs/reference/viewer-agent-protocol.md or the mode's own SKILL.md.
Phase 1 — Discovery interview
Goal: fill the design brief from the user's request, existing decisions, and repository evidence. Ask only for missing choices that materially affect the result. Use the question tool available in the active harness, or a concise chat question; never require a tool named AskUserQuestion. Bundle closely related unknowns and continue independent work while waiting.

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.

create-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository pandazki/pneuma-skills (161 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 5,620 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
ralph
Launcher for the Ralph-style queue drain script - emits the right node ralph-loop.mjs invocation based on the user's filter and bounds. The actual loop runs as a Node script that opens one server run and spawns one claude -p --worktree per iteration under its own seat; this skill is the configurator, not the loop. Use…
session-retrospective
Analyzes the current implementation run - evaluates schema effectiveness, delegation alignment, note quality, and plan-to-execution fit. Captures cross-session trends and proposes improvements when patterns repeat. Use after implementation runs, or when user says 'retrospective', 'session review', 'what did we learn'…
adopt-project-scope
Migrates an already-populated, unscoped Task Orchestrator database in place to the project-scoping convention — creates a project anchor root, re-parents existing work trees under it, and writes rootId back to config.yaml. Use when a user says: adopt project scope, migrate this database to project scoping, make this…
configure-server
Configures how the MCP Task Orchestrator SERVER runs and is reached — transport (HTTP vs STDIO), the REST API, port publishing, config mounts, and config-sync. Use when a user says: run the server, register the image, set up the Docker container, enable the REST API, set up config-sync, reconfigure the server, change…
manage-schemas
Creates, views, edits, deletes, and validates note schemas for the MCP Task Orchestrator in .taskorchestrator/config.yaml — the templates that define which notes agents must fill at each workflow phase. Also recommends schema designs from a library of workflow patterns (autonomous coding loops, spec-driven teams…
quick-start
Interactive onboarding for the MCP Task Orchestrator. Detects empty or populated workspaces and walks through how plan mode, persistent tracking, and the MCP work together. Use when a user says "get started", "how do I use this", "quick start", "first time setup", "onboard me", "what can this MCP do", or "help me…
