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 | $0.00036 | $0.01693 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00847 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00339 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
Tax Issue Intake 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tax Issue Intake
Purpose
Capture and structure the facts of a tax-sensitive matter or transaction into a disciplined, source-cited working paper — an intake summary, a tax issue map, missing facts, a document request list, and verification questions — so qualified tax counsel or a licensed tax professional can evaluate treatment. This skill spots issues and organizes facts; it does not decide tax treatment.
Use When
- A new tax-sensitive matter, transaction, or activity needs structured intake before substantive tax analysis by a professional.
- A team needs an auditable working paper that separates facts, sources, and open questions and flags every gap.
- A matter must be routed to the right specialist tax skill and the issues scoped first.
Required Inputs
- Taxpayer/entity identity and type (individual, C corp, S corp, partnership, LLC, trust, estate, nonprofit, other), and the user's role.
- Jurisdiction(s) implicated (federal, state, local, foreign), or
[verify jurisdiction]. - Tax year(s) or period(s) at issue, or
not provided. - Transaction or activity type and the review purpose.
- Activity facts, each as available or marked missing: revenue streams, ownership and cap structure, employees and contractors, assets, intellectual property, real estate, digital assets, and any foreign persons or entities.
- Filings already made and notices received, as the user describes them.
- Source document set, with citations to form lines, schedules, sections, or pages.
- Any user-supplied deadlines, echoed and marked
[deadline verification required]. - Whether sensitive identifiers (SSN, EIN, TIN, account numbers) appear, so they can be masked.
If any gate (taxpayer/entity type, jurisdiction, tax period, activity type,
review purpose) is missing, record it as not provided and return the
missing-information list before substantive intake.
Do Not Use When
- The request is to compute tax, gain/loss, basis, or liability, or to prepare or file a return.
- The request is to decide tax treatment, nexus, classification, a tax consequence, or whether a tax position is valid.
- The request is for a filing deadline or a computed date.
- The request is for tax advice rather than organized facts for a professional.
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.
