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 | $0.00075 | $0.04349 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.02174 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00870 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00435 |
Grade A, and why
summarize-ideas 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 7d 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.

summarize-ideas
Workflow for producing a terse, idea-centric readout of every
in-flight idea in the workspace, then a consolidated ## Next block
of high-impact actions for juggling multiple ideas at once.
The unit of work is the idea. Sessions are one facet ("what's running on this idea"); backlog state is the other primary signal ("what's queued / blocked / mid-flight"). The recap reads by idea.
Steps
-
One batched call.
ideate:list_ideaswithinclude_output_lines: 40. That single call returns every non-archived idea'ssummary,backlogcounts + in-progress titles,sessions.runningandsessions.dormantlists,last_activity_at, AND the most-recent running session's last 40 lines of screen — every signal this skill needs.Do not loop over the result calling
list_backlog_by_slug/get_session_output/get_idea_by_slugper idea. One batched call covers it. -
Filter and sort. Default: keep ideas with any signal — running session, dormant session, or non-zero
backlog.open + in_progress. Drop ideas with neither (they're parked; the user hasn't asked for them). Sort bylast_activity_atdescending so the most-touched idea leads. If the user named a filter (s:paused, etc.), honor it. -
Pick 1–3 high-impact next actions across the whole readout. After the per-idea sections, surface a consolidated
## Nextblock. High impact, in priority order:- Awaiting input. Sessions in
awaitingstate (refined per step 4 below) need a human answer to keep moving. Surface these first. - CI / review blocks. PRs with failing CI or CHANGES_REQUESTED — pick up the agent's most recent revision loop.
- In-progress backlog idle a while. An
in_progressitem on an idea whoselast_activity_atis hours old means the agent left work half-done; suggest resuming. - Dormant sessions with open backlog. "Resume idea-X to take on its remaining 3 open tasks."
- Awaiting input. Sessions in
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.

summarize-ideas is a skill published in the GitHub repository paultyng/ideate (9 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 4,349 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
