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 | $0.00018 | $0.00369 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00148 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00074 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
clear-ask 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 1mo 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
clear-ask
Purpose
Convert a fuzzy request, thread, or note into a direct ask someone can understand and act on.
Use For
- Turning a rambling draft into a clear request
- Clarifying what decision is actually needed
- Making ownership and timing explicit before sending a message
Inputs
- Slack or email draft
- Meeting notes
- Project context
- Pasted workplace context
- A
reduce-to-factsledger or conversation-state record
Guardrails
- Read before write.
- Do not send the message unless explicitly asked.
- Separate known facts from assumptions.
- Flag missing owner, timing, or decision context.
- Prefer the smallest useful ask.
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 ask and draft.
- Do not send, publish, update tickets, create events, or mutate systems unless explicitly asked.
Output
- Clean ask
- Audience
- Owner
- Deadline / timing
- Decision needed
- Missing info
- Potential misread
- Why this ask is clearer
- Suggested message
Success Standard
The output should remove ambiguity and make the next action obvious 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.

clear-ask is a skill published in the GitHub repository tmusser/context-to-action-skills (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 369 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
