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 | $0.00041 | $0.01048 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00524 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00210 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00105 |
Grade A, and why
recursive-worktree 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 2d 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.

recursive-worktree
Purpose
Use this skill at the start of a recursive-mode run to set up an isolated worktree before Phase 1+ work begins.
The canonical overall workflow still lives in /.recursive/RECURSIVE.md. This skill covers only the worktree-isolation discipline for 00-worktree.md.
Hard Rule
Do not proceed with recursive-mode phase work until:
- A feature-branch worktree exists.
- The worktree directory is git-ignored if it lives inside the repo.
- Project setup has completed.
- A clean or explicitly acknowledged baseline test state has been recorded.
Default Location Order
Use this priority:
- Existing
.worktrees/ - Existing
worktrees/ - A preference documented in repo instructions
- Ask the user
- Default to
.worktrees/
Global fallback location:
~/.config/recursive-mode/worktrees/<project-name>/
Main Branch Protection
If the current branch is main or master, default to creating a worktree on a feature branch:
git worktree add .worktrees/<run-id> -b recursive/<run-id>
cd .worktrees/<run-id>
If the user explicitly insists on main-branch work, record that exception in 00-worktree.md.
Minimum Phase 0 Checklist
00-worktree.md must cover:
- selected worktree location
- git-ignore verification
- branch name and worktree path
- setup commands executed
- baseline test command and result
- normalized diff basis fields including
Baseline type,Baseline reference,Comparison reference,Normalized baseline,Normalized comparison, andNormalized diff command - explicit note that subsequent phases run from the worktree
- the required
## TODOheading from the scaffold
Suggested Commands
Check branch:
git branch --show-current
Check ignore status:
git check-ignore -q .worktrees || git check-ignore -q worktrees
Create worktree:
git worktree add .worktrees/<run-id> -b recursive/<run-id>
Setup Guidance
Run the setup command that matches the repo:
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.

recursive-worktree is a skill published in the GitHub repository try-works/recursive-mode (129 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,048 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
