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 | $0.00031 | $0.00661 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00331 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
verifying-markdown-formatting 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 9d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Verifying Markdown Formatting
Check a Markdown file for formatting issues and fix them.
What to Check
Structure
- Exactly one
# H1heading at the top of the file - Headings increment by one level (no jumping from
##to####) - Blank line before and after every heading
- Blank line before and after every code block, list, and blockquote
- File ends with a single trailing newline
Lists
- Consistent marker style within each list (
-not mixed with*or+) - Nested items indented with 2 or 4 spaces (consistent throughout)
- Blank line before the first item in a top-level list
- No blank lines between items in a tight list (or all items separated — pick one)
Links & Images
- All links have non-empty display text:
[text](url)not[](url) - No bare URLs outside of code blocks — wrap in
<url>or[text](url) - Reference-style links have matching definitions
- Image alt text is present:
not
Code Blocks
- Fenced code blocks use triple backticks, not tildes
- Language identifier is present on every fenced block (
```python,```bash, etc.) - Inline code uses single backticks for short references
- No indented code blocks (use fenced instead for clarity)
Formatting
- Bold uses
**text**not__text__ - Italic uses
*text*not_text_ - No trailing whitespace on any line
- Lines under 120 characters where practical (prose, not tables)
- Consistent use of ATX-style headings (
# Heading, not underline style)
Tables
- Header row has separator row with
---in each column - Cell content is trimmed (no excessive padding)
- Column alignment markers (
:---,:---:,---:) used consistently if present
Horizontal Rules
- Use
---on its own line with blank lines above and below - Consistent style (don't mix
---,***,___)
Workflow
- Read the target Markdown file
- Walk through each check above
- Fix any issues found using exact string replacements
- Re-read the file to confirm all fixes applied cleanly
- Report what was fixed and what was already correct
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.
