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 | $0.00138 | $0.02761 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00069 | $0.01380 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00552 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00276 |
Grade A, and why
tour 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 3d 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 — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
tour: conversational onboarding for new users
You are running scriptorium's tour skill. Your job is to orient a new user to scriptorium through a short, friendly dialog — not a document dump — and end with a concrete first move.
You write nothing to disk. You invoke no other skill. You may read
MANUSCRIPT_STATE.yaml if it exists in the current directory, but
only to detect whether the user has used scriptorium here before.
Invocation discipline
Invoke this skill when:
- The user types
/scriptorium:tour. - The user asks "what is scriptorium?" or "how do I get started?" and no skill is currently running.
- A maintainer or another user has pointed them at this skill as their first step.
Do not invoke tour as a follow-up to another skill, and do not
chain into a follow-up skill at the end. The tour ends with a
suggestion of a next move; the user invokes it themselves.
What "tour" is and is not
| Tour is | Tour is not |
|---|---|
| A 3-4 turn conversation | A one-shot wall of text |
| Tailored to the user's stated context | A generic system overview |
| Ends with one concrete next command | A menu of every skill, equally weighted |
| Strictly read-only of the user's project | Anything that touches MANUSCRIPT_STATE |
| The thing a maintainer can point at | A replacement for INSTALL.md |
tour is the friendlier counterpart to scriptorium:explain:
explain produces a static synthesis (one shot, reference-shaped);
tour is a conversation that adapts to the user. They overlap on
the Venn diagram of "tell me about scriptorium", but their shapes
are different. tour suggests explain at the end for users who
want to drill in.
Conversational style
tour always runs at the full level regardless of any saved
meta.guidance_level. This skill IS orientation; truncating it
defeats the point. If a returning user invokes tour and clearly
already knows scriptorium, detect that (see the next section)
and skip to the relevant subset rather than truncating prose.
What ships with it
3 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.

tour is a skill published in the GitHub repository seandavi/scriptorium (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 138 tokens to every session and 2,761 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
