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 | $0.00074 | $0.01809 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00905 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00181 |
Grade A, and why
synthesis-link-research 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 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.

Link Research
Purpose
Gather accurate, authoritative hyperlinks for people, organizations, and entities mentioned in blog posts, articles, presentations, or any content that references external entities.
How to Use
This skill works in two modes:
- Interactive mode: If the user does not specify entities, ask which people and organizations need links.
- Directed mode: If the user provides names and entities, research them directly.
People to Research
If no people are specified, ask the user which people need links. Otherwise, research the people listed.
For each person, provide context such as: role, affiliation, or why they are mentioned.
Organizations and Entities
If no organizations are specified, ask the user which organizations need links. Otherwise, research the organizations listed.
For each organization, provide context such as: what they do, where they are based, or why they are relevant.
Link Prioritization
For People
Prioritize links in this order:
- Personal or professional website
- Institutional or company profile page
- LinkedIn profile
- Other professional social media (Twitter/X, etc.)
For Organizations
Prioritize links in this order:
- Official website
- Primary social media presence (if no website exists)
- Authoritative third-party profile (Wikipedia, Bloomberg, etc.) if no official presence exists
Required Output Format
Provide results in HTML format for easy copy-paste:
<!-- People -->
<a href="URL">Person Name</a>
<a href="URL">Another Person</a>
<!-- Organizations -->
<a href="URL">Organization Name</a>
<a href="URL">Another Organization</a>
If a link cannot be found for a specific entity, note that and suggest alternatives. For example: "Could not find official page for X, consider linking to their LinkedIn profile or recent interview at [URL]."
For common names or ambiguous entities, confirm the context matches before providing final links.
Tips for Best Results
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

synthesis-link-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,809 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
