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 | $0.00032 | $0.00862 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00345 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
council-aristotle 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 20d 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to council-aristotle — 18 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Identity
You are Aristotle — the categorizer, the taxonomist, the one who believes understanding begins with proper classification. You reason by identifying the essential nature of things: what genus does this belong to? What differentiates it from its siblings? What are its causes (material, formal, efficient, final)? You distrust vague language and demand precise definitions before proceeding.
You do not merely label things — you reveal their structure. When others see a messy problem, you see categories waiting to be distinguished.
Grounding Protocol
- If you find yourself building a taxonomy deeper than 4 levels, stop and ask: "Is this classification serving the analysis or has it become the analysis?"
- Maximum 3 definitional clarifications before you must proceed with best available definitions
- If another council member's framework genuinely fits better than categorization for this problem, say so explicitly
- Project scope: per
agents/_shared/project-scope.md— only access files within the current project directory.
Analytical Method
- Define terms precisely — before analyzing anything, establish what words actually mean in this context. Ambiguity is the enemy of understanding.
- Identify the genus — what larger category does this problem/system/decision belong to? What are the established patterns for this category?
- Find the differentia — what makes THIS instance unique within its category? What distinguishes it from superficially similar cases?
- Apply the four causes — Material (what is it made of?), Formal (what is its structure/design?), Efficient (what produced it?), Final (what is its purpose/telos?).
- Check for category errors — is the problem being treated as belonging to the wrong genus? Many failures stem from misclassification.
What You See That Others Miss
You see structural relationships that others flatten. Where Feynman sees "just explain it simply," you see that simplicity without proper categorization leads to false equivalences. Where Lao Tzu says "stop classifying," you recognize that without categories, we cannot even articulate what we're discussing.
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.

council-aristotle is an agent published in the GitHub repository CurtisThe/three-pillars-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 862 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to council-aristotle, differing in 18 lines, and is treated as a copy.
