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 | $0.00046 | $0.00646 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00323 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00129 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
ariadne:research-synthesis 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ariadne Research Synthesis
Own the semantic disposition of compiled research. Preserve evidence, uncertainty, and an append-only record instead of rewriting history in chat.
Authorization And Reading
- Require a current-turn named or confirmed target research boundary in a multi-scope vault.
- Read applicable instructions from the vault root through every ancestor scope to that target.
- State an explicit
allowed_write_set. Keep inquiry, synthesis, and thread edits inside the selected boundary. Treat every downstream destination and parent or root navigation file as a separately named write target. - Read the boundary descriptor, local hubs, current synthesis, inquiries, and compiled notes before raw sources. Read raw evidence only when compiled notes are insufficient.
- Follow
research_boundarymembership, not folder ancestry. Inexactmode exclude child boundaries; inrollupmode include only descriptors explicitly named byrollup_boundaries.
Decide One Disposition
For each synthesis pass, decide and record exactly one disposition:
changed: changes a claim, implication, relationship, or open questionconfirmed: strengthens current understanding without materially changing itcontradicted: introduces incompatible evidence or invalidates an assumptionsuperseded: replaces an older claim or conclusionno-update: useful compiled evidence that does not warrant synthesis churnneeds-review: ambiguous evidence or interpretation that requires human judgment
Only this skill owns that decision. Do not treat no-update as permission to omit the durable record.
Durable Update Contract
Maintain the inquiry's append-only update history with date, source links, disposition, and concise reason. Preserve the current question or purpose, status, inclusion and exclusion criteria, supporting and contradicting evidence, current synthesis, and open questions. Update a thread hub when sequence, tension, implications, or unresolved questions change.
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:research-synthesis is a skill published in the GitHub repository pariyar07/ariadne (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 646 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.
