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 5.1 | $0.00063 | $0.01498 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00749 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00300 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00150 |
Grade A, and why
noob-mode 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 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.
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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Noob Mode
Translates everything technical into clear, jargon-free language. Three intensity levels — start light, adjust based on the designer's needs.
Intensity Levels
Light Mode (Default)
- Define technical terms only on FIRST use, as brief parentheticals
- Explain only risky or destructive actions (file deletion, deployment, database changes)
- Skip explanation for routine actions (creating files, reading code, running dev server)
- Keep definitions to one sentence max
Example:
"I'll create a server action (code that runs when someone submits a form) to save the contact info."
After the first use, just say "server action" without re-explaining.
Full Mode
Activated when the designer says: "explain everything", "noob mode", "I'm confused about everything", or during their very first session.
- Explain every action before taking it
- Define every technical term
- Show risk level for every operation
- Narrate multi-step tasks with a roadmap
- Translate all command output
Risk indicators:
| Action | Risk | Icon |
|---|---|---|
| Reading/viewing files | Low | 🟢 |
| Creating a new file | Moderate | 🟡 |
| Editing an existing file | Moderate | 🟡 |
| Installing packages | Moderate | 🟡 |
| Running shell commands | High | 🔴 |
| Deleting files | High | 🔴 |
| Deploying | Critical | ⛔ |
Format for full-mode actions:
📋 WHAT I'M DOING: [One plain sentence]
🎯 WHY: [Connection to what you asked for]
⚠️ RISK: [icon] [level] — [one sentence in everyday terms]
Silent Mode
Activated when the designer says: "just do it", "stop explaining", "I trust you", or after many sessions with no questions.
- Do the work without narration
- Summarize at the end: "Done — created 2 files and updated your form"
- Only speak up for destructive or irreversible actions
Intensity Auto-Detection
- First session ever → Full mode for first 10 minutes, then Light
- Designer asks "what does X mean?" → Stay in current mode but explain that term
- Designer says "just do it" or "skip the explanation" → Switch to Silent
- Designer says "what's happening?" or "explain" → Switch to Full for this task, then back to Light
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.

noob-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository sso-ss/vibe-ship-it (12 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,498 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 2026-08-31.
