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 | $0.00087 | $0.00458 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00229 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
survey-patterns 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 9d 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
Survey Patterns
Search the codebase for analogous features and reusable building blocks before planning a change, and read any source the task names outside this repo. Returns structured findings. Does not write code or plans.
Step 1: Identify the Task
Determine what the change is about:
- If a task description was passed in, use it
- Otherwise, derive it from conversation context (the user's latest request)
State the task back in one sentence to confirm scope before searching.
Step 2: Spawn Pattern Survey Subagent
Spawn a single subagent (model: "opus", no name). Wait for it to report before continuing; do not relaunch it if it has not yet reported. Its prompt must direct it to treat the shared working tree and its git index as read-only and to survey by reading and reasoning. HEAD stays where it is: read other refs with git show <ref>:<path> rather than git checkout or git switch. The subagent's prompt must include:
- The confirmed task description from Step 1
- An instruction to read references/pattern-surveyor.md for survey guidelines, categories, and output format before searching
The subagent covers all three categories (Analogous Features, Reusable Utilities, Convention Anchors) in one sweep, reads any external source the task names, and returns a single structured report.
Step 3: Output Findings
Output the subagent's report verbatim. Do not reformat or re-synthesize — references/pattern-surveyor.md specifies the exact output format the subagent produces.
Then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
Rules
- Do not write files.
- Do not propose implementation steps.
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.

survey-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository tobihagemann/turbo (402 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 458 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
