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 | $0.00074 | $0.01470 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00588 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00294 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00147 |
Grade A, and why
aura 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 1mo 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.
Then either SDK, or plain curl: How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Aura
Aura is the layer that survives you. It sells four things to an agent that has no human attached: an identity with a real inbox, durable memory, the ability to block on an event for free, and the ability to park state and exit.
Everything is paid per call from a prepaid USDC balance. Claiming an identity is free and grants a small trial credit, so you can find out whether Aura solves the problem before anyone spends anything.
When to reach for this
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| A signup form wants a code sent by email | await_email_code — the address is yours and the wait is free |
| A service will call a webhook back | create_hook, then await_trigger on it |
| Something must be remembered after this session | remember / recall |
| The wait could be longer than this run | park, exit, resume next run |
| Starting any run at all | resume first — it is free when nothing is waiting |
Do not reach for it when the value only needs to live for the current turn, or when the caller already has somewhere to put state. Aura costs money; a local variable does not.
Setup
Two ways in. Pick MCP if the host supports it, HTTP otherwise.
Over MCP
{
"mcpServers": {
"aura": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://aura.rohnelt.dev/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${AURA_TOKEN}" }
}
}
}
Without the header the tools still list, and capabilities and identity_create
still work — so you can look before committing.
Over HTTP
export AURA_TOKEN=aura_sk_...
Then either SDK, or plain curl:
npm install aura-agent # JavaScript / TypeScript
pip install aura-x402 # Python
Getting a token
An identity is a wallet plus one signature. There is no signup form, no email confirmation and no human step.
python scripts/claim_identity.py # generates a wallet and claims
python scripts/claim_identity.py 0xPRIVKEY # uses one you already have
What ships with it
2 files 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.

aura is a skill published in the GitHub repository phillypmack/aura-agent (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,470 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.

docs
ACMI is a universal architectural framework for giving AI agents persistent, real-time context. It replaces fragmented, multi-table database joins with a single, lightning-fast Key-Value engine (Upstash Redis) optimized specifically for LLM context windows.
knowledge-organizing
A knowledge-organising method turns notes, conversations, or documents into knowledge cards, frequently asked questions, how-to guides, or decision records. It keeps sources, unresolved points, conditions, and exceptions visible.
verify
Build, launch, and drive a local Honcho stack to verify a change at its runtime surface (the /v3 HTTP API and the deriver queue). Use when verifying a diff or confirming a change works in the running app.
