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 | $0.00144 | $0.03340 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00058 | $0.01336 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00668 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00334 |
Grade A, and why
implement 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 5d 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 — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Implement the stubs of an emitted pipeline
rote emit and rote compile produce a runnable app whose deterministic
steps are scaffolds: every pure_function and external_call node that
has no real implementation yet gets a stub that fails on call. Your job is
to replace those stubs with working code that honors each node's IR
contract, then prove the pipeline runs end to end with rote run.
You write code only in user-owned files. rote owns everything else and regenerates it on the next emit.
The CLI ships on PyPI as rote-cli. Invoke it as
uvx --from rote-cli rote <args>, which works on every release (the
uvx rote-cli shorthand needs a release newer than 0.14.0). Running a
Python app needs that runtime's extra in the same environment, because
rote run executes it with its own interpreter: uvx --from 'rote-cli[dbos]' rote run ... for DBOS,
'rote-cli[temporal]' for Temporal. If the user is inside a rote
checkout with a .venv, .venv/bin/rote works too.
1. Locate the emitted dir and its IR
The user names the directory, or it is the most recent --out in the
conversation. Accept any of:
- a
rote compile --outdir: IR atcompiled/pipeline.yaml, apps underruntime/<target>/(ask which target if there are several); - a bare emitted runtime dir.
Find the runtime from its marker files, in this order: wrangler.jsonc
= cloudflare, src/inngest/ = inngest, dbos-config.yaml + main.py =
dbos, dbos-config.yaml alone = dbos-ts, workflow.py + activities.py
= temporal, main.py alone = python.
Find the IR the way rote run does: <dir>/pipeline.yaml, then
<dir>/../../compiled/pipeline.yaml when the parent is named runtime,
then <dir>/../pipeline.yaml. If none exists, ask the user for it. Do not
implement from the emitted code alone: the IR is the contract, and the
stub docstrings are a lossy rendering of it.
Confirm the directory, runtime, and IR path with the user before editing.
2. Build the TODO list
Get the list from rote rather than by guessing. Re-emitting into the same directory is safe (see section 6) and reports what is still a stub:
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.

implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository trevhud/rote (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 144 tokens to every session and 3,340 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-10-19.
