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 | $0.00062 | $0.02407 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00963 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00481 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00241 |
Grade A, and why
bounded-grilling 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.

Bounded Grilling
Overview
Bounded Grilling exposes and resolves material human decisions without turning an interview into an endless session or implementation. The human owns value judgments and authority decisions. The agent discovers facts, frames options, recommends a default, returns a traceable decision packet, and stops.
Invocation gate
Run only when:
- the user explicitly asks to be grilled, interviewed, or stress-tested; or
- the shared
/wfrouter invokes one genuine human-owned ambiguity under the user's standing ask-not-assume instruction; or - the user explicitly invokes Wayfinder charting, which authorizes one bounded opening-router call; or
- an existing, named Wayfinder HITL decision ticket invokes the skill.
Outside those cases, an agent may briefly offer Bounded Grilling when a route-changing decision is blocking progress, but must not begin until the user accepts. Complexity or ambiguity alone is not permission to start.
Authority boundary
- Ask the human only for decisions; investigate discoverable facts first.
- Never answer the human side of a HITL decision.
- Never implement, publish, install, configure, activate, or otherwise mutate the product because the interview ended.
- Bounded Grilling does not claim, edit, close, link, or create tracker items.
- The invoking Wayfinder workflow owns all authorized tracker persistence and map, fog, frontier, and dependency updates.
- Stop immediately on a user stop signal.
Choose one mode
Opening router
Use for a loose plan or destination before choosing the planning route.
- Resolve no more than three distinct route-changing human decisions.
- Stop earlier when remaining uncertainty is non-blocking.
- Return exactly one route:
DIRECT_SPEC— the route is clear enough for local specification;WAYFINDER— material multi-session fog or dependent decisions remain;BLOCKED— required evidence or decision authority is unavailable.
- Return the compact decision packet and stop.
- Do not create a specification, Wayfinder map, task, or other artifact.
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.

bounded-grilling is a skill published in the GitHub repository SaikaAco/saika-hermes-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,407 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
