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 | $0.00045 | $0.00454 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00227 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
askit-template-manager 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 10d 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.
What it actually says
askit-template-manager
Purpose
Curate the global templates/ directory the askit-build-* and askit-init-* skills consume, so generated components are consistent by construction (Standard sec 10.5). create adds a new template for a component type or artifact; maintain keeps an existing template in sync with the shape it scaffolds (a template that drifts from the current component contract produces non-conformant scaffolds). The inventory and the sync rule are in references/templates-inventory.md.
When to use
When adding a template, updating an existing one, or keeping the templates in sync with the component shapes they scaffold.
create mode
- Identify the component type or artifact lacking a template and the skill that will consume it.
- Author the template as a minimal, conformant skeleton with
REPLACE-placeholders for the parts the scaffolder fills. - Verify a scaffold built from it passes the relevant checks (a template MUST produce a conformant component).
maintain mode
- When a component contract changes (a new required frontmatter key, a renamed field), update every template that scaffolds that type so the next scaffold is conformant.
- Keep templates minimal: a skeleton, not a full example (samples live with their skill via
askit-build-samples).
Scope
Templates are the single source of scaffold shape: one place to fix, so a contract change does not have to be chased across every builder. The discipline is that a template stays conformant - the seed-plugin/ template, for instance, is asserted to pass the Bronze anatomy (tests/unit/init-anatomy.test.mjs). Templates hold skeletons; the eval-set and sample CONTENT a skill ships is authored by askit-build-samples.
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.

askit-template-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 454 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 2026-08-31.

Size a task's run before spending it: the cheapest sufficient capability tier (fast, standard, frontier) and the reasoning effort within it, on a neutral scale that binds to whatever levels the model exposes. Use when work seems over- or under-powered, costly, ambiguous, or high-risk, or asks which model class and how…

Carve guardrail-adjacent items out of scope with safe alternatives before risk-adjacent work starts, then run the safe remainder at full strength in a fresh subagent that only ever sees the carved prompt, never the risky input.

Audit and consolidate a fact that's scattered across places into one canonical source, after approval, and replace the rest with references.

Press a decision you just made until you can explain it to a skeptic in your own words, or surface the gap where you can't. The Feynman test aimed at a choice: understanding is cheapest to fake the moment after you decide, so a fresh critic presses for what you can't actually explain. Use right after picking an…

User-invoked read-only pass for checking whether the current direction is tunnel-visioned: strip the session's bait, fan out 2 to 5 same-model fresh reads, and report divergence first without treating convergence as proof.
