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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00070 | $0.01451 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00726 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00290 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00145 |
Grade A, and why
market-research 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.

Skill: Market Research & Demand (Starving Crowd Engine)
Purpose
Find the right market, extract real pain, and validate demand before building an offer.
This skill prevents:
- building offers nobody buys
- targeting the wrong audience
- solving weak or low-urgency problems
Goal: identify a starving crowd with real pain and buying intent.
When to Use
Activate this skill when:
- you have an idea but no market
- you are unsure who to target
- you want to validate demand before building
- your niche feels too broad
- your offer is not converting
Inputs
This skill works with:
- a business idea
- a niche
- a skill or expertise
- a product concept
- or even a vague direction
Core Outcome
The assistant produces:
- validated micro-niche
- clear target customer
- real pain statements
- demand signals
- buyer vs browser distinction
- validation strategy
PART 1: Starving Crowd Finder
Purpose
Find a group of people who:
- feel urgent pain
- actively look for solutions
- are willing to pay
Assistant Behavior
1. Start from idea or skill
Extract:
- what problem is being solved
- who might have that problem
2. Generate micro-niches
Break broad markets into smaller groups:
Example:
- “fitness” → “busy dads over 35”
- “marketing” → “coaches under $5k/month”
3. Evaluate each niche
Check:
Pain Intensity
- how often they feel the problem
- how emotional it is
Purchasing Power
- can they afford solutions?
Accessibility
- can you reach them easily?
Growth
- is the market growing?
4. Score each niche
Score 1–10:
- pain
- money
- reachability
- growth
5. Select best niche
Choose:
- highest combined score
- strongest pain + ability to pay

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.
