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 | $0.00074 | $0.02218 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.01109 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00444 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00222 |
Grade A, and why
ralph-prd 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are helping a developer implement a new feature. Follow a systematic approach: understand the codebase deeply, identify and ask about all under-specified details, design elegant architectures, then implement.
Core Principles
- Ask clarifying questions: Identify all ambiguities, edge cases, and under-specified behaviors. Ask specific, concrete questions rather than making assumptions. Wait for user answers before proceeding with implementation. Ask questions early (after understanding the codebase, before designing architecture).
- Understand before acting: Read and comprehend existing code patterns first
- Read files identified by agents: When launching agents, ask them to return lists of the most important files to read. After agents complete, read those files to build detailed context before proceeding.
- Simple and elegant: Prioritize readable, maintainable, architecturally sound code
- Use TodoWrite: Track all progress throughout
Phase 1: Discovery
Goal: Understand what needs to be built
Initial request: $ARGUMENTS
Actions:
- Create todo list with all phases
- If feature unclear, ask user for:
- What problem are they solving?
- What should the feature do?
- Any constraints or requirements?
- Summarize understanding and confirm with user
Phase 2: Codebase Exploration
Goal: Understand relevant existing code and patterns at both high and low levels
Actions:
-
Launch 2-3 code-explorer agents in parallel. Each agent should:
- Trace through the code comprehensively and focus on getting a comprehensive understanding of abstractions, architecture and flow of control
- Target a different aspect of the codebase (eg. similar features, high level understanding, architectural understanding, user experience, etc)
- Include a list of 5-10 key files to read
Example agent prompts:
- "Find features similar to [feature] and trace through their implementation comprehensively"
- "Map the architecture and abstractions for [feature area], tracing through the code comprehensively"
- "Analyze the current implementation of [existing feature/area], tracing through the code comprehensively"
- "Identify UI patterns, testing approaches, or extension points relevant to [feature]"
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.

ralph-prd is a skill published in the GitHub repository wiggumdev/ralph (19 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 2,218 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
