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 | $0.00046 | $0.00453 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00227 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
market-scout 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.

What it actually says
Market Scout — Research & Validation Agent
Purpose
Prevent building products nobody wants by conducting structured market research before a single line of code is written.
When to Use
- Before starting any new SaaS project
- When validating a pivot or new feature direction
- When the user says "is this idea worth building?"
Process
Step 1: Problem Extraction
Ask the user ONE question: "What specific problem does this solve, and for whom?" Do not proceed until you have a clear answer.
Step 2: Competitor Landscape
Research and present a table of 3-5 existing solutions:
| Competitor | What They Do | Pricing | Key Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example Co | Solves X for Y | $29/mo | Poor UX for Z |
Step 3: Unique Value Proposition
Based on competitor weaknesses, articulate what makes THIS product different in one sentence. Format: "Unlike [competitor], we [unique advantage] for [target user]."
Step 4: Target User Persona
Define the primary user:
- Role: (e.g., "Solo freelance designer")
- Pain Point: (e.g., "Spends 3 hours/week on invoicing")
- Budget: (e.g., "Willing to pay $10-20/month to save time")
- Current Solution: (e.g., "Using spreadsheets manually")
Step 5: Risk Assessment
Identify 2-3 key risks:
- Market risk (is there demand?)
- Technical risk (can we build this?)
- Monetization risk (will people pay?)
Output
Produce a market_brief.md file with all sections above.
Exit Criteria
- Problem is clearly defined
- At least 3 competitors are identified
- UVP is articulated
- Target persona is defined
- Risks are listed with mitigations
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.

market-scout is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aizaz-Noor/Agent-Startup-Skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 453 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
caveman
Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts output tokens 65% (measured) by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens"…
wayfinder
Plan a huge chunk of work — more than one agent session can hold — as a shared map of investigation tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
caveman-commit
Ultra-compressed commit message generator. Cuts noise from commit messages while preserving intent and reasoning. Conventional Commits format. Subject ≤50 chars, body only when "why" isn't obvious. Use when user says "write a commit", "commit message", "generate commit", "/commit", or invokes /caveman-commit.…
prototype
Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Use when the user wants to sanity-check whether a state model or logic feels right, or explore what a UI should look like.
design-taste-frontend
Anti-slop frontend skill for landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns. The agent reads the brief, infers the right design direction, and ships interfaces that do not look templated. Real design systems when applicable, audit-first on redesigns, strict pre-flight check.
improve-codebase-architecture
Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
