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 | $0.00066 | $0.01628 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00814 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00326 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00163 |
Grade A, and why
advisor 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 4d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Advisor Skill
This skill is the plugin-native implementation of Anthropic's advisor strategy. The literal advisor_20260301 server tool is an Anthropic API beta; Claude Code plugins don't control request shape, so we ship the strategy via a dedicated Opus 4.7 sub-agent that other skills consult at known checkpoints.
What it is
From the docs (verbatim):
"The advisor tool lets a faster, lower-cost executor model consult a higher-intelligence advisor model mid-generation for strategic guidance. The advisor reads the full conversation, produces a plan or course correction (typically 400 to 700 text tokens, 1,400 to 1,800 tokens total including thinking), and the executor continues with the task."
In our plugin, the calling skill briefs the advisor agent (Opus 4.7 xhigh) with the relevant context, the agent returns a short numbered plan, the caller applies or reconciles.
When to call advisor
From the docs' suggested coding-task system prompt (verbatim):
"Call advisor BEFORE substantive work – before writing, before committing to an interpretation, before building on an assumption. If the task requires orientation first (finding files, fetching a source, seeing what's there), do that, then call advisor. Orientation is not substantive work. Writing, editing, and declaring an answer are.
Also call advisor:
- When you believe the task is complete. BEFORE this call, make your deliverable durable: write the file, save the result, commit the change. The advisor call takes time; if the session ends during it, a durable result persists and an unwritten one doesn't.
- When stuck – errors recurring, approach not converging, results that don't fit.
- When considering a change of approach.
On tasks longer than a few steps, call advisor at least once before committing to an approach and once before declaring done."
When NOT to call advisor
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.

advisor is a skill published in the GitHub repository volomydyr/design-engineer-plugin (19 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,628 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.
