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 | $0.00023 | $0.00292 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00117 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00058 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
failure-chain-construction 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
Failure Chain Construction
Builds multi-level cause → mode → effect chains for systemic failure understanding.
Execution
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.
Why Subagent
Chain construction requires disciplined causal reasoning without skipping levels. Isolated context prevents shortcutting.
Input
- failure_modes: Structured failure mode catalog
- function_tree: Function decomposition for context
- depth: Max chain depth (2/4/6 per budget)
Output
- chains: List of cause-mode-effect chains with level annotations
- shared_causes: Root causes appearing in multiple chains
- cascade_risks: Modes that trigger other modes
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| spawn-agent | Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent. |
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

failure-chain-construction is a skill published in the GitHub repository yogsoth-ai/stress-test (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 292 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
