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 | $0.00026 | $0.00412 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00206 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00082 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
user-input-before-thread-attachments 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 8d 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.

SKILL: User Input Before Thread Attachments
Domain: attachment-pipeline Trigger: When attaching contextual artifacts in response to user input, run that work first so any derived triggers exist before later attachment builders execute. Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed attachment-pipeline ordering and derived-trigger dependency implementations.
Core Method
Treat user-input-driven attachment producers as dependencies for the broader attachment phase. Start by collecting the attachments that inspect user text directly, such as file mentions, MCP references, or other explicit user-specified artifacts, and wait for that set to finish. Only then should the second-stage thread-safe attachment builders run, because they may depend on triggers or metadata harvested from the first phase. This ordering prevents downstream attachment builders from running too early against incomplete state.
Key Rules
- Build the user-input attachment group first, including everything that inspects raw user text or explicit user references.
- Wait for the entire first-phase attachment group to complete before starting second-phase attachment logic.
- Only once the user attachment future settles should you start the second-stage attachment list (queued actions, time-based context, memory lookups, and similar follow-on builders).
- Keep the dependency notes close to the ordering boundary so future maintainers do not accidentally reorder the pipeline.
Example Application
If a request mentions files and also triggers a secondary memory lookup, resolve the file mentions first and wait for that work to complete. Only then run the dependent memory attachment builder so it sees the full set of requested paths.
Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)
- Do not launch the second-phase attachment builders before the user-input phase finishes; doing so lets dependent builders execute with empty or partial triggers.
- Do not assume derived trigger state will “fill in later”; the pipeline must wait on the user-input phase to preserve the dependency ordering.
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.

user-input-before-thread-attachments is a skill published in the GitHub repository ychampion/cskill-agents (36 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 412 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 2026-09-03.

grape
Use Grape MCP for Codex context continuity in coding repositories. Use when a task needs repeated-turn context, omitted context restore, stale-context checks, invalidation checks, or safe continuity across branch and dirty-worktree changes.
review
Validate plans, execution, or PRs against wish criteria — returns SHIP / FIX-FIRST / BLOCKED with severity-tagged gaps.
work
Execute an approved wish plan — orchestrate subagents per task group with fix loops, validation, and review handoff.
brainstorm
Explore ambiguous or early-stage ideas interactively — tracks wish-readiness and crystallizes into a design for wish.
fix
Dispatch fix subagent for FIX-FIRST gaps from review, re-review, then diagnose unresolved failures after 2 loops.
genie
Entry point for Genie operations — routes bug reports, questions, and operational commands, resumes existing lifecycle state, and orchestrates work that needs durable planning or coordination. Other ordinary requests bypass the lifecycle with a one-line notice unless the user asks for Genie.
