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 | $0.00191 | $0.03775 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00096 | $0.01887 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00755 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00378 |
Grade A, and why
backlog-groomer 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 10d 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 — 299 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Backlog Groomer
Triage, prioritize, and research work tracked in the beads issue tracker. This
skill operates on the bd CLI — all mutations (create, close, update) require
explicit user approval before execution.
Determine which workflow the user needs based on their request. If ambiguous, default to workflow 1 (review and triage) for grooming requests, or workflow 4 (Investigate topic as spike) for research requests.
Issue Types Reference
Beads v1.0+ defines nine core issue types. Pick the type that matches the
shape of the work, not just its size. The validation.on-create=error gate
enforces required markdown sections per type — a bd create will fail if the
required sections are missing.
| Type | Required markdown sections | When to use |
|---|---|---|

none | General work item (default) |

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.

backlog-groomer is a skill published in the GitHub repository voxpelli/claude-beads (2 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 191 tokens to every session and 3,775 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-08-31.
