personal-operating-model

personal-operating-model is a command for coding agents from Pitchlab/founder-support-system. It costs 12 tokens per session (3,420 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive command that helps create a Personal Operating Model (POM), a written guide to how you work, make decisions, and execute tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording strengths, weaknesses, recurring mistakes, decision rules, working constraints, energy patterns, and an execution process.
Why use it?
It turns scattered self-knowledge into a structured document that can guide everyday work and future planning.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

personal-operating-model 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 5d 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.

Personal Operating Model Command

Create a comprehensive Personal Operating Model (POM) that defines how you create value, your strengths/weaknesses, failure patterns, decision system, and execution playbook.

Purpose

This command invokes the personal-operating-model skill to interactively create your operating manual covering:

  • Core Loop: How you transform inputs into outputs
  • Strengths: Energy-positive capabilities with evidence
  • Unique Edge: Your asymmetric advantages
  • Weaknesses: Structural limitations to route around
  • Pitfalls: Repeating failure patterns with interrupt rules
  • Decision System: How you should decide (defaults, rules, metrics)
  • Operating Constraints: Your guardrails and non-negotiables
  • Energy & Rhythm: Peak windows and burnout indicators
  • Environment Design: Friction management and amplifiers
  • Execution Playbook: Your default shipping process
  • Experiments: System improvements to test

When to use: Creating your first POM, major career transitions, annual POM updates, or when patterns have shifted significantly.

Usage

/planning-strategy:personal-operating-model

No parameters needed - the skill guides you through an interactive interview.

How It Works

This command invokes the personal-operating-model skill, which:

  1. Fetches context from Notion:

    • Year Plan (current focus, OKRs, strategic themes)
    • Golden Rules (working principles)
    • Founder Wisdom (patterns to emulate)
    • Previous POM (if exists)
    • Optional: Recent Quarterly Logs (pattern finding)
  2. Guides you through 11 sections:

    1. Core Loop (Input → Transformation → Output)
    2. Strengths (energy-positive capabilities)
    3. Unique Strong Points (asymmetric edge)
    4. Weaknesses (structural limitations)
    5. Pitfalls (repeating failure patterns)
    6. Decision System (how you decide)
    7. Operating Constraints (guardrails)
    8. Energy & Rhythm (cognitive weather map)
    9. Environment Design (friction management)
    10. Execution Playbook (how you ship)
    11. Experiments (system improvements)

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.

personal-operating-model is a command published in the GitHub repository Pitchlab/founder-support-system (2 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 3,420 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
