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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00053 | $0.00279 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00139 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
moth-source-backed-research 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.
What it actually says
Moth Source Backed Research
Source Order
Prefer sources in this order:
- Official framework, language, package, or vendor docs.
- Official changelogs and release notes for the installed or targeted version.
- Maintainer-authored GitHub issues, discussions, and pull requests.
- Accepted Stack Overflow answers when official sources do not cover the exact symptom.
- Blog posts only when they cite primary sources and match the project version.
Workflow
- Identify the package, framework, error code, command, and version from provided context.
- Search narrowly with the error code and package name.
- Prefer current primary sources; verify dates and versions when the package changes quickly.
- Distill the finding into the smallest change that explains the local error.
- Cite links or source names in the fix brief or implementation note.
Guardrails
- Do not rely on random snippets that do not match the installed version.
- Do not quote long source passages.
- Do not use external research when the local error and provided context are already enough.
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.

moth-source-backed-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository stfade/moth (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 279 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.
