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 | $0.00109 | $0.01940 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00970 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00388 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
apple scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Apple Sign In Emulator
Sign in with Apple emulation with authorization code flow, PKCE support, RS256 ID tokens, and OIDC discovery.
Start
# Apple only
npx emulate --service apple
# Default port (when run alone)
# http://localhost:4000
Or programmatically:
import { createEmulator } from 'emulate'
const apple = await createEmulator({ service: 'apple', port: 4004 })
// apple.url === 'http://localhost:4004'

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.

apple is a skill published in the GitHub repository vercel-labs/emulate (1,621 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 1,940 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
