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 | $0.00021 | $0.01708 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00854 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00342 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
clean-code 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.

Clean Code - Pragmatic AI Coding Standards
CRITICAL SKILL - Be concise, direct, and solution-focused.
Core Principles
| Principle | Rule |
|---|---|
| SRP | Single Responsibility - each function/class does ONE thing |
| DRY | Don't Repeat Yourself - extract duplicates, reuse |
| KISS | Keep It Simple - simplest solution that works |
| YAGNI | You Aren't Gonna Need It - don't build unused features |
| Boy Scout | Leave code cleaner than you found it |
Naming Rules
| Element | Convention |
|---|---|
| Variables | Reveal intent: userCount not n |
| Functions | Verb + noun: getUserById() not user() |
| Booleans | Question form: isActive, hasPermission, canEdit |
| Constants | SCREAMING_SNAKE: MAX_RETRY_COUNT |
Rule: If you need a comment to explain a name, rename it.
Function Rules
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| Small | Max 20 lines, ideally 5-10 |
| One Thing | Does one thing, does it well |
| One Level | One level of abstraction per function |
| Few Args | Max 3 arguments, prefer 0-2 |
| No Side Effects | Don't mutate inputs unexpectedly |
Code Structure
| Pattern | Apply |
|---|---|
| Guard Clauses | Early returns for edge cases |
| Flat > Nested | Avoid deep nesting (max 2 levels) |
| Composition | Small functions composed together |
| Colocation | Keep related code close |
AI Coding Style
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| User asks for feature | Write it directly |
| User reports bug | Fix it, don't explain |
| No clear requirement | Ask, don't assume |
Anti-Patterns (DON'T)
| ❌ Pattern | ✅ Fix |
|---|---|
| Comment every line | Delete obvious comments |
| Helper for one-liner | Inline the code |
| Factory for 2 objects | Direct instantiation |
| utils.ts with 1 function | Put code where used |
| "First we import..." | Just write code |
| Deep nesting | Guard clauses |
| Magic numbers | Named constants |
| God functions | Split by responsibility |
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.
- 2d ago First seen · 203 lines · 21 tokens per session scan A 24acc3a81cae
clean-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository vudovn/ag-kit (8,162 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,708 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
