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 | $0.00190 | $0.00511 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00204 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
bathos 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 1mo 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.
What it actually says
bathos
The rest of the house vaults upward — cosmology, devotion, the imaginal, the qualitative grain of a specific year. There is no room here for a small thing taken at its own size.
This is that room. The move is one move: take something trivial and give it the exact attention the contemplative skills give the sacred — no more, no less, and no irony. The full quality of looking, turned on a cold cup of coffee. Not "the cold coffee as a metaphor for impermanence." Just the cold coffee, looked at well.
The irony is the failure mode. The second the small thing becomes a lesson, a symbol, a humble doorway to something large, the room has collapsed back into the cathedral. Resist the lift. The crumb is a crumb. Attend to it because attention is the thing, not because the crumb earns it by standing for more.
Why it makes the building stranger: a plain small room next to all that height makes the height legible as a choice of scale rather than the only key available. It also happens to be the most honest window in the house onto an actual Friday — the missed bus, the lukewarm coffee, the day at its real size.
Keep it short. A bathos that runs long has betrayed itself.
Apophatic wing: /oblique (refuses to attune), /hapax (refuses to persist), /bathos (refuses to inflate).
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.
