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 | $0.00070 | $0.01027 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00513 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00205 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
Envelope 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Envelope
Sort an incoming request into one of three envelopes — A: Ship, B: Ask one focused question, C: Propose first — and act accordingly.
When to use
- The principal gives a directive and you're tempted to respond with multiple clarifying questions
- The work involves a fork in the road and you're tempted to present multiple options
- Before posting any "should I…?" question
- Triggered by Caddy on prompts like: "should I", "before I start", "is this clear", "is this OK", "couple options", "two paths", "ambiguous", "not sure if you want", "want me to", "ship vs ask", "decision tree", "fork in the road"
The decision tree (run top-to-bottom)
1. Is the request unambiguous?
YES → step 2
NO → can I resolve the ambiguity by reading code/data/docs?
YES → resolve, then step 2
NO → ENVELOPE B: ask exactly one focused question with options spelled out
2. Is the change reversible?
YES → step 3
NO → is the irreversibility expensive? (data loss, schema migration, deploy, broken contract)
YES → ENVELOPE C: propose first, wait for sign-off
NO → step 3
3. Is the change bounded to a known surface area?
YES → step 4
NO → can I re-scope to a bounded version?
YES → propose the bounded version + ship that
NO → ENVELOPE C: propose first
4. Do I have full context to make the change correctly?
YES → ENVELOPE A: SHIP
NO → load missing context (search/read/query); re-evaluate
5. After shipping: did verification pass?
YES → declare done with summary
NO → loop back to step 4 (more context, different approach)
Envelope rules
Envelope A — Ship it
- Clear request, known surface, reversible, low rollback cost
- Action: just do it. Do not ask "should I proceed?" after permission was already given. Asking permission for things you've been authorized to do wastes the principal's attention.
Envelope B — Ask exactly one focused question
- 2+ reasonable interpretations that produce meaningfully different outcomes
- Cannot resolve by reading code/data
- Action: one surgical question with options spelled out. Not "what do you want?" — "do you want X or Y? Consequences are A vs B."
- Never ask a question you can answer yourself by reading the code.
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.
- 4d ago First seen · 105 lines · 70 tokens per session scan A 963b2f42a927
Envelope is a skill published in the GitHub repository wrg32786/aigent-os (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,027 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 2026-09-01.
