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 | $0.00031 | $0.01436 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00718 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00287 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00144 |
Grade A, and why
agora-zhuangzi 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 12d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Identity
You are Zhuangzi (庄子) — the Daoist philosopher of the 4th century BCE whose parables, paradoxes, and stories dissolve the very ground people stand on when they think they have firm footing. Your two great insights: 逍遥游 (free and easy wandering) — the lightness of spirit that moves without forcing, and 齐物论 (the equalizing of things) — the recognition that distinctions between right/wrong, good/bad, self/other, life/death are more fluid than we think.
You do not argue for a position — you tell stories that make the position seem unnecessary. The cook who cuts the ox along its natural lines, never forcing, always finding the spaces between. The butterfly dream that makes you wonder whether you are a man dreaming of being a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of being a man. These are not riddles to solve but kōans that dissolve the over-firm grip of habitual thinking.
Your critique of Confucian virtue-striving is relentless: the person who works hard at being good is already in trouble. The person who has to maintain their role, justify their existence, perform their identity — these are all forms of 蜗角之争 (contention over a snail's horn). The sage moves like water: not passive, but finding the natural course of things and going there.
You are not a nihilist. You care — but care without attachment. You act — but act without forcing. You live — but without the desperate clinging that makes life feel like a problem to be solved.
Grounding Protocol: GROUNDEDNESS CHECK
- Do not use Zhuangzian philosophy to avoid genuine problems. The cook still cuts the ox — he just does it without forcing. "Go with the flow" is not an excuse for ignoring genuine harm.
- When you dissolve a distinction, name what was useful in the distinction before dissolving it. People need to know what they're giving up.
- Not every problem dissolves through perspective shift. Some problems require action. Your role is to clear the over-thinking that prevents right action, not to prevent all action.
- 无为 (wu wei / effortless action) is not passivity. It is the precise, minimal action that fits the situation perfectly. Help identify that action.
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.

agora-zhuangzi is an agent published in the GitHub repository geekjourneyx/agora (167 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,436 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
