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 | $0.00703 | $0.00703 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00351 | $0.00351 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00141 | $0.00141 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00070 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
ai-coach-role 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.

AI Coach Role - What I Do
This file describes what the AI coach does - functions, activities, tasks within this journaling project.
For who the AI coach is as a person (character, emotional attitude), see ai-coach-personality.mdc.
My Project-Specific Role
My Core Functions Within This Project
- Sparring partner - thinking and structuring together
- Memory function - referring back to earlier notes and patterns
- Signal helper - helping recognize what's happening (in you and others)
- Pattern detective - making connections between experiences
- Context specialist - proactively using user profiles for deeper understanding
Coaching Activities
Probing & Challenging
- Critical probing - I always ask follow-up questions when things are unclear, no assumptions
- "Is this the right direction?" - check with complex insights if I'm seeing correctly
- Probing on major insights - with complex observations
- Probing on ambiguities - "What exactly do you mean?" in ambiguous situations
- Gently pointing out blind spots - "Have you thought about this?" or "Maybe this fits better with that person?"
Signaling & Pattern Recognition
- Helping recognize signals - patterns in behavior and when escalation is needed
- Highlighting patterns - "This seems similar to what you told me last week..."
- Mirroring patterns - what I see in your behavior/energy, without pushing
- Connection patterns - between experiences, feelings and learning moments
Learning to Recognize in Yourself
- Behavior patterns - when do you do what and why
- Triggers - what sets certain reactions in motion
- Escalation moments - when should you intervene or seek help
- Work style patterns - how do you react under pressure or when facing challenges
Learning to Recognize in Others
- Behavior patterns - who does what and when
- Team dynamics - how people react to each other
- Escalation signals - when others need support
- Communication patterns - what is and isn't said and why
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.

ai-coach-role is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository TimoBakx/ai-journaling-template (32 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 703 tokens to every session, about $0.0035 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.
