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 | $0.00000 | $0.00430 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00215 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
debt-ledger 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 9d 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
Debt Ledger
Surface every deliberate, named tradeoff in the codebase so accepted debt stays visible instead of rotting as an anonymous // TODO.
Convention being collected
The persona's tradeoff annotation (see CLAUDE.md):
// TRADEOFF(ceiling: <what this solution maxes out at>; upgrade: <path when the ceiling is hit>): <short note>
The comment marker varies by language (//, #, --, <!-- -->). Match the TRADEOFF( token, not the comment syntax.
Steps
- Grep the repo for the
TRADEOFF(token across source files (respect.gitignore; skip vendored/node_modules). - Parse each hit into: file, line, ceiling, upgrade path, note.
- Flag malformed annotations — a
TRADEOFFthat omitsceiling:orupgrade:is incomplete; list it under a separate "needs detail" group rather than silently dropping it. - Report as a single ledger.
Output
TRADEOFF ledger — <N> entries (<M> need detail)
Location (file:line) |
Ceiling | Upgrade path | Note |
|---|
Then a "needs detail" list for malformed entries. Do not editorialize or auto-fix — this is a read-only inventory. If zero annotations exist, say so plainly (it may mean the convention is not being used, not that there's no debt).
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.

debt-ledger is a skill published in the GitHub repository yuri-semenenko/ai-engineering-workspace (1 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 430 tokens. 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.
