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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00055 | $0.01598 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00799 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00320 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00160 |
Grade A, and why
scraper-brief 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 12d 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scraper Brief
What This Skill Does
Writes a clear, technical brief describing exactly what data needs to be collected from a website or set of web pages, how it should be structured, and what edge cases and legal/ethical considerations apply — for handoff to a developer or data team.
When To Use This Skill
- You have identified a publicly accessible website containing data you need in bulk and want to brief a developer to collect it
- You need to document what a scraper should collect before commissioning or building the tool
- You want to think through the data structure, edge cases, and update frequency requirements before any technical work begins
- You need a record of the collection methodology for editorial and legal transparency
What You Need To Provide
Required: The URL or website description. What data you need — the specific fields visible on the page. The scope — how many pages or records you expect to collect. The reason you need it (news investigation, research, ongoing monitoring). Optional: How frequently the data needs to be updated; whether pagination, search filters, or login walls are involved; any known technical obstacles (JavaScript rendering, anti-scraping measures); the output format you need.
How the Assistant Approaches This
- Maps the required data fields from the description of the source page, identifying what is structured (tables, clearly labelled fields) versus what requires extraction from running text.
- Documents the scope, pagination, and any known complexity (dynamic content, filters, session requirements).
- Produces a structured brief covering: data source, fields to collect, output schema, scope and frequency, known technical challenges, and legal/ethical considerations.
Output Format
A technical brief (400–600 words) structured under six headings: Data Source, Fields to Collect (with example values), Output Schema, Scope and Frequency, Technical Considerations, and Legal and Ethical Notes. Tone: clear, precise, technical — written to be acted on by a developer. Includes a simple example row showing the expected output structure.
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.

scraper-brief is a skill published in the GitHub repository ur-grue/autopunk-media-skills (30 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,598 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
