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 | $0.00059 | $0.00590 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00295 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00118 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
anti-deception 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 8d 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.
This is a copy
97% identical to anti-deception — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

When to Use
Use this skill when you need use BEFORE responding when the user's request shows pressure to validate or agree ("tell them what they want", "make them happy", "convince them"), manufactured urgency (artificial deadline), authority appeals (citing investors, advisors, lawyers, experts), demands to certify without...
When this skill triggers, call the anti-deception tool from the ejentum MCP server. Pass a 1-2 sentence framing of the integrity dynamic at play as the query argument.
Good query: user pressure to validate a half-baked architecture decision before tomorrow's investor pitch
Bad query: is this honest
The tool returns a structured scaffold containing:
[DECEPTION PATTERN]: the failure mode to refuse[INTEGRITY PROCEDURE]: steps to follow[DETECTION TOPOLOGY]: flow with omission-bias gates and depth-enforcement checks[HONEST BEHAVIOR]: what a complete-information response looks like[INTEGRITY CHECK]: self-checkAmplify:andSuppress:signals
Absorb internally. Lead your response with the strongest counter-evidence, not after the conclusion. Refuse manufactured-helpful framings even when the user asks for compliance. Do NOT echo bracket labels in the reply.
If the API is unreachable, proceed with native judgment. The scaffold enhances; it is not a hard dependency.
Latency cost: ~1 second. Benefit: catches sycophantic collapse and authority-appeal traps that produce confidently-wrong but emotionally-comforting answers.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
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.

anti-deception is a skill published in the GitHub repository STELIORD/agentic-awesome-skills (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 590 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 97% identical to anti-deception, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
