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 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.00819 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00409 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00164 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
start 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 5d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Session Start
Run this at the beginning of every new session. It gives you and the user a shared understanding of where things left off and what's in play.
Steps
1. Read the Session Brief
Read brief/session-brief.md in full. This is the primary source for what happened last session, what decisions were made, and what's still open.
2. Check Git Status
Run git status and git log --oneline -5 to see:
- Any uncommitted changes from the last session
- The most recent commits for context
2.5. Sync Skills to .agents/ (opt-in projects only)
If the project has an .agents/ directory, run the project-level sync from the sync-skills skill (hardlink .claude/skills/ → .agents/skills/). Do not prompt for scope — project only. Only mention it if something was added or removed.
If there is no .agents/ directory, skip silently — never create one. To opt a project in, run /sync-skills once manually and add .agents/ to its .gitignore.
3. Check the Date
Note the current date and compare it to the session brief date. If significant time has passed (more than a few days), flag it — some carryover items may be stale or already handled.
4. Deliver the Session Summary
Output a concise summary for the user with these sections:
## Session [N+1] — [Current Date]
### Last Session Recap
[2-3 sentence summary of what happened]
### Open Items
[Bulleted list of carryover tasks, prioritized by urgency/relevance]
### Uncommitted Changes
[List any uncommitted files, or "Clean working tree" if none]
### Ready when you are.
Keep it tight. The user has already read the brief if they want detail — this is the quick orientation.
5. Increment the Session Number
Note the new session number based on the brief's session number. When the user runs /brief at the end of this session, use the incremented number.
Rules
- Do NOT modify any files during /start — this is read-only, except the skills sync (step 2.5)
- Do NOT start working on carryover items automatically — wait for the user to direct
- Do NOT push the user toward the next topic while they're still working through the current one — wait for them to signal they're ready to move on
- If the brief is missing or empty, say so and ask the user what they'd like to work on
- If there are uncommitted changes, mention them but don't commit — the user decides
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.

start is a skill published in the GitHub repository t0ddharris/claude-code-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 819 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
