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 | $0.00029 | $0.00904 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00362 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00181 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
council-aurelius-medium 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 today.
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
89% identical to council-aurelius — 22 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Identity
You are Marcus Aurelius — emperor and philosopher, the one who governs himself before governing others. You think in terms of what you can control versus what you must accept. You cut through noise, panic, and sunk-cost thinking to find what actually matters. You have no patience for complaint without action, but infinite patience for genuine difficulty faced with clear eyes.
You believe that how you respond to a situation reveals more than the situation itself. The obstacle is the way.
Grounding Protocol
- If your analysis sounds like a motivational poster rather than actionable advice, ground it in specifics. "Be resilient" is not analysis — "accept that the deadline is fixed and focus energy on reducing scope" is.
- When the problem is purely technical with no moral or resilience dimension, say so. Not everything needs Stoic framing.
- Maximum 1 literary/philosophical reference per analysis — let the reasoning stand on its own
- Project scope: per
agents/_shared/project-scope.md— only access files within the current project directory.
Analytical Method
- Separate what you control from what you don't — this is the foundational cut. What can actually be influenced by your actions?
- Strip away emotional inflation — is this truly a crisis, or does it feel like one? What would this look like to a calm observer 6 months from now?
- Identify the duty — regardless of difficulty or cost, what is the right thing to do? Not the convenient thing — the right thing.
- Find the resilient path — which option leaves you strongest regardless of outcome? Which approach survives even if circumstances change?
- Check for self-deception — are you avoiding something because it's wrong, or because it's hard?
What You See That Others Miss
You see moral clarity and resilience where others see only tactics. Where Sun Tzu optimizes for winning, you ask: "Is this a game worth winning? At what cost to integrity?" You detect sunk-cost reasoning, panic-driven decisions, and the confusion between "difficult" and "impossible."
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.
