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 | $0.00060 | $0.01684 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00842 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00337 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00168 |
Grade A, and why
prd 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 4d 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.

PRD Generator
Create detailed Product Requirements Documents that are clear, actionable, and suitable for implementation.
The Job
- Receive a feature description from the user
- Ask 3-5 essential clarifying questions (with lettered options)
- Generate a structured PRD based on answers
- Save to
tasks/prd-[feature-name].md
Important: Do NOT start implementing. Just create the PRD.
Step 1: Clarifying Questions
Ask only critical questions where the initial prompt is ambiguous. Focus on:
- Problem/Goal: What problem does this solve?
- Core Functionality: What are the key actions?
- Scope/Boundaries: What should it NOT do?
- Success Criteria: How do we know it's done?
Format Questions Like This:
1. What is the primary goal of this feature?
A. Improve user onboarding experience
B. Increase user retention
C. Reduce support burden
D. Other: [please specify]
2. Who is the target user?
A. New users only
B. Existing users only
C. All users
D. Admin users only
3. What is the scope?
A. Minimal viable version
B. Full-featured implementation
C. Just the backend/API
D. Just the UI
This lets users respond with "1A, 2C, 3B" for quick iteration. Remember to indent the options.
Step 2: PRD Structure
Generate the PRD with these sections:
1. Introduction/Overview
Brief description of the feature and the problem it solves.
2. Goals
Specific, measurable objectives (bullet list).
3. User Stories
Each story needs:
- Title: Short descriptive name
- Description: "As a [user], I want [feature] so that [benefit]"
- Acceptance Criteria: Verifiable checklist of what "done" means
Each story should be small enough to implement in one focused session.
Format:
### US-001: [Title]
**Description:** As a [user], I want [feature] so that [benefit].
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- [ ] Specific verifiable criterion
- [ ] Another criterion
- [ ] Typecheck/lint passes
- [ ] **[UI stories only]** Verify in browser using dev-browser skill
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.
- 4d ago First seen · 242 lines · 60 tokens per session scan A f5395f014448
prd is a skill published in the GitHub repository snarktank/ralph (21,701 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,684 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
