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 | $0.00129 | $0.01577 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00064 | $0.00788 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00315 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00158 |
Grade A, and why
ste 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 2d 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 — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
STE
Write English that has one clear meaning and a structure that is easy to parse. Preserve technical accuracy before you simplify language.
Select the Operating Mode
Use strict STE mode when the user requests ASD-STE100 compliance or works on regulated, maintenance, operational, or safety-critical documentation.
- Apply Issue 9 rules and the applicable project directives.
- Verify general vocabulary against the official Issue 9 dictionary.
- Verify technical nouns and verbs against the project glossary.
- Use
STE-aligned draftwhen these lexical checks are not possible.
Use STE clarity mode for prompts, tool descriptions, error messages, agent instructions, status reports, translation-ready text, and other technical or operational English.
- Transfer the clarity rules that fit the text.
- Prefer explicit actors, actions, conditions, inputs, and results.
- Do not imply formal ASD-STE100 compliance.
Load References Selectively
- Read references/writing-rules.md for strict STE work, compliance reviews, safety text, word-count decisions, or rule details.
- Read references/checklist.md for strict reviews, audits, high-risk text, or long documents. Use its quick check or full check as the task requires.
- Read references/use-cases.md when the text type needs a clear information order or a reusable structure.
- Read references/before-after.md when rewriting dense text, explaining changes, or producing a comparison.
- Read all user-supplied glossaries, safety policies, style guides, and regulatory directives that apply.
If sources conflict, follow the explicit regulatory or project requirement and report the deviation. Do not merge inconsistent terminology.
Preserve Meaning
Before rewriting:
- Identify each fact, action, condition, limit, unit, exception, warning, causal relation, and cross-reference.
- Resolve what each pronoun and modifier refers to.
- Keep the original sequence and scope unless the user authorizes a technical change.
- Ask when ambiguity can change safety, responsibility, or task outcome.
What ships with it
6 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.

ste is a skill published in the GitHub repository r13v/pi-feature-dev (2 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 1,577 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
