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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00044 | $0.00187 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00093 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00037 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00019 |
Grade E, and why
external-instructions-skill scanned grade E with 2 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 5d 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.
Instruction-override phrasinghighPrompt injection
Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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.

external-instructions-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository semiotic-ai/agentsec (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 187 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it E with 2 findings (instruction-override phrasing, hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
