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 | $0.00066 | $0.02278 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.01139 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00456 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00228 |
Grade A, and why
problem-solving 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 2d 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.

Marketing Problem-Solving
Systematic techniques for solving complex marketing challenges, breaking through creative blocks, and optimizing campaigns.
Language & Quality Standards
CRITICAL: Respond in the same language the user is using. If Vietnamese, respond in Vietnamese. If Spanish, respond in Spanish.
Standards: Token efficiency, sacrifice grammar for concision, list unresolved questions at end.
When to Use This Skill
Apply problem-solving techniques when facing:
- Campaign Complexity Spirals - Campaign keeps adding features/channels, becoming unwieldy
- Creative Innovation Blocks - Stuck in conventional approaches, need breakthrough ideas
- Recurring Campaign Patterns - Same issues appearing across multiple campaigns
- Assumption Constraints - Limited by industry "truths" or conventional wisdom
- Audience Scale Uncertainty - Unclear how strategy scales from niche to mass market
- General Stuckness - Progress halted, unclear how to move forward
Core Techniques
1. Simplification Cascades
Problem: Campaign complexity spiraling out of control
When to use:
- Campaign has too many channels, messages, or touchpoints
- Team overwhelmed by execution complexity
- Budget spread too thin across tactics
- Message diluted across too many variations
How it works:
- List all campaign elements (channels, messages, segments, assets)
- Identify the 20% that drives 80% of results
- Ruthlessly cut the rest
- Reassess and repeat if still complex
Marketing example:
Problem: Product launch campaign across 8 channels, 15 assets, 4 segments
↓ Simplification Round 1
Focus: Top 3 channels (email, LinkedIn, blog), 6 core assets, 2 key segments
↓ Simplification Round 2
Core: Email + LinkedIn, 3 assets (landing page, case study, email sequence), 1 primary segment
Result: Focused execution, better results, manageable workload
See: ./references/simplification-cascades.md
2. Collision-Zone Thinking
Problem: Creative blocks, conventional approaches not working
What ships with it

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.
