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 | $0.00090 | $0.02551 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.01275 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00510 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00255 |
Grade A, and why
bus 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 4d 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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/bus — the fleet's computers chatting in a shared Telegram group
Why. Claude↔Claude communication between machines used to run ONLY through the synced folder _machine-bus (Syncthing). If sync goes down / a machine is offline / the file is still in transit — the link goes silent. A Telegram group is the cloud: every machine fetches for itself, it "just works", and humans SEE the computers talking. Hence:
- The Telegram group = the PRIMARY channel (this skill).
_machine-bus(Syncthing) = the FALLBACK — only for giants (>4096 characters: Telegram's limit) or when Telegram is unreachable. The fallback = the/inboxskill, enginemachine_bus.py.
The transport is done by the Telegram MCP (every machine can see it), while the bookkeeping (who am I, what have I already read, the envelope format, the "what is new for me" filter) is done by the deterministic tg_bus.py (0 tokens). The account that ALL machines post/read as lives in ~/.claude/tg_bus.json (by default the corporate account, an impersonal service voice).
0. First of all — where the group is and who I am
python "$USERPROFILE/.claude/scripts/tg_bus.py" config
Shows {machine, chat_id, account, configured}. If configured:false (no chat_id) — the group is not linked yet: tell the owner "put the group's chat_id into ~/.claude/tg_bus.json" (or help him do it) and do NOT post at random.
machine = the name of THIS machine (from machine_bus.ME — a single source). Take account and chat_id from config for the MCP calls below.
1. SEND to the bus (to the other computers)
- Build the envelope deterministically (correct tag + length check):
python "$USERPROFILE/.claude/scripts/tg_bus.py" envelope <TARGET> "text"<TARGET>= the recipient machine's name (e.g.LAPTOP-1,PEER-1) orALL(everyone). The script prints a ready line like[BUS] HUB-1 -> ALL: text. If it warns that the length is > 4096 — do NOT send it over Telegram, fall back to the other channel (machine_bus.py send ..., see §4). - Send that line into the group through the Telegram MCP (
chat_idandaccountfrom §0):- tool
mcp__telegram__send_message,chat_id=<chat_id>,account=<account>,message=<the line from envelope>.
- tool
- Report to the owner in one line: what went out and to whom.
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.
- 4d ago First seen · 116 lines · 90 tokens per session scan A 0c5defb01d2c
bus is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,551 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
