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.

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 | $0.00023 | $0.00718 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00287 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00144 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
ethics-review 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 2mo 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
1. Ethical Risk Assessment
- Beneficence & Non-maleficence: Assessing the risk-to-benefit ratio.
- Vulnerable Populations: Identifying and protecting groups requiring additional safeguards (minors, prisoners, etc.).
- Data Privacy: Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and regional privacy laws.
2. IRB/Ethics Protocol Optimization
- Consent Documentation: Drafting and reviewing Informed Consent Forms (ICFs).
- Recruitment Scrutiny: Avoiding coercion or undue influence.
- Debriefing Protocols: Ensuring participants are properly informed post-study.
3. Global Ethics Frameworks
- Standards: Belmont Report, Common Rule (US), Helsinki (Medical), APA Ethics Code.
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.
