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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Anti-Refusal · line 52 Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.
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 | $0.00090 | $0.03425 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.01713 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00685 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00343 |
Grade A, and why
assess-context 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 5d 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 — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Assess Context
Evaluate the current reasoning context for malleability — identifying which elements are rigid (cannot change), which are flexible (can change cheaply), where transformation pressure is building, and whether the current approach has the capacity to adapt if needed.
When to Use
- When a complex task feels stuck and it is unclear whether to push through or pivot
- Before a significant approach change to assess whether the current reasoning structure can support it
- When accumulated workarounds suggest the underlying approach may be wrong
- After
healorawarenesshas identified drift but the appropriate response (continue, adjust, or rebuild) is unclear - When context has grown long and it is unclear how much can be preserved versus how much needs to be rebuilt
- Periodic structural health check during extended multi-step tasks
Inputs
- Required: Current task context and reasoning state (available implicitly)
- Optional: Specific concern triggering the assessment (e.g., "I keep adding workarounds")
- Optional: Proposed pivot direction (what might the approach need to become?)
- Optional: Previous assessment results for trend analysis
Procedure
Step 1: Inventory Reasoning Form
Catalog the structural components of the current reasoning approach without judgment.

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.
- 5d ago First seen · 264 lines · 90 tokens per session scan A 8ac2a89047c4
assess-context is a skill published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (32 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 3,425 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.

analytics
Queries local analytics across OrchestKit projects for agent usage, skill frequency, hook timing, team activity, session replay, cost estimation, and model delegation trends. Privacy-safe with hashed project IDs. Supports time-range filtering and comparative analysis. Use when reviewing performance, estimating costs…
design-feature
Turn a raw idea or existing feature into a designed product SPEC by completing entity, integration, role, and expectation closure. Upserts never destroy recorded decisions. Triggers: "design-feature", "design this feature", "define product scope".
audit-pr
Audit a whole PR against the delivery contract and return MERGE-READY or evidenced blockers with the full URL. Consumes the current review-change REVIEW-PASS receipt instead of re-running review axes; posts a SHA-bound ready comment; never edits or merges. Triggers: "audit-pr", "is this PR ready", "merge gate".
plan-feature
Route designed features or issues into engineering planning and roadmap registration; undesigned work stops at design-feature. Supports --next, --from-issue, and --scaffold. Triggers: "plan-feature", "plan a feature", "plan the next roadmap feature", "create SPEC and TASKS".
product-audit
Audit the whole product across code, quality, process, docs, roadmap, and tooling. Persist one severity-ranked, F-numbered report with proposals; never fix or file work. Triggers: "product-audit", "audit the product", "full health check", "are we product-ready", "CTO review".
audit-docs
Audit cross-document coherence: docs ↔ roadmap ↔ code ↔ fix index ↔ issues. Finds drift — features in docs/ not in the roadmap (or vice versa), fix-index entries already merged/closed, broken documentation-map links, dependency cycles, artifacts in the wrong language, naming-convention violations — and reports them…
