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 | $0.00044 | $0.01614 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00807 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00323 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00161 |
Grade A, and why
ariadne: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 10d 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.

Ariadne Navigation
Use this skill when changing the durable structure of a Markdown knowledge vault.
Core Principle
Optimize for reliable human and agent traversal, not for a beautiful graph view.
Markdown notes remain the source of truth. Bases, canvases, dashboards, and reports are view layers over the vault.
Start
- Read root instructions and every applicable ancestor scope instruction through the target.
- Read relevant indexes, agent navigation, navigation standards, routing matrices, and knowledge-processing architecture.
- In a multi-scope vault, require a current-turn named or confirmed target before writing.
- State an explicit
allowed_write_set. Name every parent hub, routing matrix, root Base formula, or cross-scope file separately; minimal wiring is not implicit authorization.
Navigation Layers
Maintain these layers when useful:
- Global entry:
00 Index.mdand agent instructions. - Agent entry:
Agent/00 Agent Navigation.md. - Folder hubs:
00 ... Index.mdnotes inside durable folders. - Thread hubs: synthesis or debate notes for recurring arguments.
- View layer:
Bases/00 Bases Index.md,.basefiles, canvases, dashboards. - Note-level links: meaningful links to sources, concepts, entities, relationships, questions, and decisions.
Workstream Graph Protocol
Do not pre-create graph categories because they might be useful later.
Create or promote a workstream graph only when a recurring use case needs its own traversal path. Examples can include evidence trails, customer discovery, engineering decisions, GTM experiments, fundraising, life systems, or any other durable domain.
When promoting a workstream:
- Choose or create the folder.
- Create a
00 ... Index.mdhub. - Add a routing row to
Agent/Task Routing Matrix.md. - Link from
Agent/00 Agent Navigation.mdif it becomes a primary route. - Add templates only if the structure repeats.
- Add a Base only if metadata inspection helps.
- Link the Base from
Bases/00 Bases Index.md. - Update
00 Index.mdonly if strategically important. - Add health-check coverage if the workstream creates recurring maintenance.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ariadne:navigation is a skill published in the GitHub repository pariyar07/ariadne (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,614 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 2026-08-30.
