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 | $0.00017 | $0.00433 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00217 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00087 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
brief-me 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 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.
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
brief-me
Purpose
Turn messy connected or pasted context into a short conversation-state brief the user can act on quickly.
Use For
- "What did I miss?"
- "Brief me before this meeting."
- "What changed since Monday?"
- "What needs my response?"
Inputs
- Slack
- Gmail
- Calendar
- Zoom transcript
- Atlassian
- Hex or other data output
- Pasted notes
- Any combination of the above
- A
reduce-to-factsledger or conversation-state record
Guardrails
- Read before write.
- Do not send messages, create events, update tickets, or publish outputs unless explicitly asked.
- Separate source-backed facts from assumptions and suggestions.
- Prefer small source windows.
- Surface source gaps.
- Do not dump raw transcript content by default.
- Keep the output workplace-user friendly.
Portable Output Contract
- Use only the useful subset of source-backed facts, assumptions, source gaps, stakeholder sensitivities, potential misreads, and the suggested next action.
- Use the smallest useful output.
- Label assumptions and preserve source gaps, source anchors, and confidence labels.
- When consuming upstream state, do not promote an assumption, inference, open question, proposed action, or stakeholder position into a fact, decision, commitment, owner, or deadline without new source support.
- Keep unresolved approvals, owners, timing, and blockers explicit in the brief.
- Do not send, publish, update tickets, create events, or mutate systems unless explicitly asked.
Output
- Conversation state
- What changed
- What needs response
- Action state
- Source confidence
- Suggested next response
- Meetings to prep for
- Suggested follow-ups
- Source gaps
When the user wants a fuller record, use the optional CONVERSATION_STATE.md
template from this pack when it is available.
Success Standard
The user should be able to scan the brief and know what matters within 5 minutes.
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.

brief-me is a skill published in the GitHub repository tmusser/context-to-action-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 433 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
