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 | $0.00027 | $0.01766 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00706 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00353 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00177 |
Grade A, and why
verification-before-merge 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
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.

quick-finalize
Close out a change without the deep review loop: stage, simplify code and docs, run the project's checks, smoke test, update the changelog, self-improve, and ship. Use when the user asks to "quick finalize", "quickly finalize", "finalize quickly", "light finalize", "wrap this up quickly", "close this out without the…

audit-pr
Audit a whole PR against the delivery contract and return MERGE-READY or evidenced blockers with the full URL.

Triggers: "audit-pr", "is this PR ready", "merge gate".
execute-phase
Step executor for units whose triage (unit-lane) decided which steps the unit needs. Implements one triaged step (or all remaining steps), with frozen acceptance, step-local gates, commits, red-gate repair, and diff-size guard. BREAKING: replaced PLAN.md/TASKS.md/progress.md/ACCEPTANCE.md with the unit doc's Tasks…
verification-contract
Internal contract: one compact frozen ACCEPTANCE.md per delivery unit, its validation ladder, anti-weakening rules, and blob-bound execution receipt. Consumed by planners, execute-phase, and review-change.
