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 | $0.00043 | $0.00626 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00250 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00125 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00063 |
Grade A, and why
create scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
The `create-starter` MCP server exposes two tools. Use them directly — do **not** shell out to `curl`, `tar`, or `git clone`. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are scaffolding a new project using the Starter Series templates via the create-starter MCP server.
How to invoke
The create-starter MCP server exposes two tools. Use them directly — do not shell out to curl, tar, or git clone.
list_templates— returns the full template table as JSON.create_project— scaffolds a new project.
Workflow
- Pick a template. If the user named one explicitly, resolve it against the registry below. If not, call
list_templatesand ask the user to pick one. - Collect required input:
name(required) — project name. Must match^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$(alnum start, then[A-Za-z0-9_-]only). No dots, no spaces, no path separators.description(optional) — one-line description that replaces the template default.output_dir(optional) — where to create the project. Defaults to./<name>relative to the MCP server's cwd.
- Call
create_projectwith the gathered arguments. The server handles download, extraction, placeholder substitution, Python package renaming, andgit init. - Report the next steps from the tool's response (it returns a
cd-then-install sequence tuned to the template).

Call list_templates for the authoritative, up-to-date list with full metadata.
Rules
- Never invent template IDs. Only use IDs returned by
list_templatesor present in the table above. - Never construct tarball URLs or shell commands yourself — always go through
create_project. - If the tool returns an
isError: trueresponse, surface the message verbatim and stop; do not retry with a different name unless the user asks. - After a successful scaffold, suggest reviewing
.env.exampleif the output mentions environment variables, and remind the user thatgit inithas already run — they just need to add a remote. - Keep your response concise: one line confirming the template + name, then the next-step commands as a code block.
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.

create is a skill published in the GitHub repository starter-series/create-starter (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 626 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
