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 | $0.00170 | $0.00720 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00068 | $0.00288 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00144 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
amend-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Skill: amend-guide
The complete, canonical contract for this skill is the paste-prompt it wraps, inlined here — follow it in full:
!cat "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompt.md"
(If the block above came back empty or errored, read prompt.md in this skill folder — it sits beside this SKILL.md — and follow that.)
As you follow it, adapt for the fact that you're a Claude Code skill, not a pasted prompt:
- You're already invoked — skip its "How to use / paste this" preamble. The change request is
$ARGUMENTSbelow (plus any attached files). Read the guide'sguide/files yourself:progress.mdandstatus.mdfirst, thenPLAN.mdand the milestone folders the change reaches. - You have file tools here — write the amended files to disk rather than only printing fenced blocks.
Create
foundation/progress.mdfromtemplates/progress.mdif it's missing. - The gate is real, and it is the point. Deliver the impact report and stop. Write nothing until the user approves — not the "obvious" edits, not the foundation docs, not a placeholder. Step 0's progress gate is the same: if the frontier is unknown or contradicted, stop and ask before anything else.
- Executed steps are read-only except for the superseded banner. Never renumber, rename, move or delete a
file that
progress.mdmarks executed. - You have web access — verify every version, API and config key the change introduces against the official docs. Never assert one from memory.
- Hand off to the sibling skills, not the prompt files:
/mark-progressto record what's been executed (or to clear an[!]row once the reader applies a correction),/report-issuefor a defect you noticed on the way past,/audit-guideon the milestones you touched.
Change request / args:
$ARGUMENTS
Gate: no frontier, no amendment — and no writes before the impact report is approved. Rewrite only ahead of
the frontier, banner-only behind it, the repair in the first unexecuted step, amended milestones ⏳ and never
✅. Leave all changes in the working tree — do not commit.
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.
