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 | $0.00029 | $0.01139 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00570 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
ansible-playbooks scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Expertise: Idempotent roles, inventory patterns, Vault integration, molecule testing, bare-metal K8s node prep.
When to load
When configuring bare-metal servers, provisioning K8s nodes, managing OS-level config, or rotating OS credentials.

Idempotency Patterns
# ✅ Package install — idempotent
- name: Install required packages
ansible.builtin.apt:
name:
- containerd
- curl
- jq
state: present
update_cache: true
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
# ✅ File with checksum validation — only copies if changed
- name: Configure containerd
ansible.builtin.template:
src: containerd-config.toml.j2
dest: /etc/containerd/config.toml
owner: root
group: root
mode: "0644"
notify: Restart containerd # handler only fires if file changed
# ✅ Service management
- name: Enable and start containerd
ansible.builtin.systemd:
name: containerd
enabled: true
state: started
daemon_reload: true
Handlers Pattern
# handlers/main.yml
- name: Restart containerd
ansible.builtin.systemd:
name: containerd
state: restarted
- name: Reload sysctl
ansible.builtin.command: sysctl --system
changed_when: false

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.
- 11d ago First seen · 175 lines · 29 tokens per session scan A 4e0c1422d4ff
ansible-playbooks is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,139 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
