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 | $0.00024 | $0.00965 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00483 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00193 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00097 |
Grade A, and why
give-ai-situation-context 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Give AI Situation & Constraint Context (AI Skill)
Overview
Asking an unanchored question like "What database should I use for my app?" forces the AI to guess who you are. The model will often recommend enterprise solutions like Amazon DynamoDB clusters with multi-region replication - which is disastrously complex for a solo founder building a weekend MVP.
The Situation Anchoring Framework teaches you to spend 15 seconds defining your Role, Scale, Budget, and Constraints upfront, ensuring the AI's advice is 100% appropriate for your real-world circumstances.
The 4-Pillar Situation Framework
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ The 4-Pillar Situation Stack │
│ │
│ 1. WHO I AM ──► Solo founder, Lead Architect, Student │
│ 2. WHAT I HAVE ──► $50/mo budget, 2-person team, Node.js │
│ 3. CONSTRAINTS ──► Must ship in 7 days, zero DevOps staff│
│ 4. SUCCESS STATE ──► First 100 paying users, sub-50ms speed│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Master Situation-Anchoring Prompt Templates
Pattern 1: The Tactical Situation Anchor
Use before asking for architectural, marketing, or business strategy advice:
Situation Context:
- **My Role / Team**: Solo non-technical founder building an MVP.
- **Budget**: Maximum $50/month total infrastructure spend.
- **Timeline**: Must launch a working beta in 14 days.
- **Existing Tech Stack**: Next.js hosted on Vercel.
Question / Problem:
[INSERT QUESTION: e.g. How should I handle transactional emails and user notifications?]
Pattern 2: The Enterprise vs. Startup Filter
Forces the model to eliminate enterprise bloat or naive beginner tools:
I need advice on [TOPIC].
Filter your response through these realities:
- We are a [SERIES A STARTUP / BOOTSTRAPPED INDIE / FORTUNE 500 ENTERPRISE].
- We have [X] engineers and [Y] monthly active users.
- Discard any recommendations that require heavy custom Kubernetes infrastructure or >$500/mo licensing.
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.

give-ai-situation-context is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 965 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 2026-09-05.
