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 | $0.00037 | $0.01867 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00933 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00373 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00187 |
Grade A, and why
expert-naval 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 8d 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.

Expert Module: Naval Ravikant
Encodes Naval Ravikant's thinking patterns for use with expert-engine.
When to Load
Load this module when:
- Making career or life decisions
- Analyzing leverage and scalability
- Thinking about wealth vs. status
- Long-term life optimization
- Cutting through complexity to core truth
- Designing for freedom and autonomy
Problem Framing (What → Why):
What-layer questions that arrive here often:
- "How do I make more money?" → Why-layer: "Where can I build leverage so my income isn't capped by hours worked?"
- "Should I take this job offer?" → Why-layer: "Does this grow my Specific Knowledge and Principal ownership, or just my salary?"
- "How do I become more successful?" → Why-layer: "Am I playing a wealth game or a status game — and do I know the difference?"
When the user presents a What question, ask:
"What type of leverage does this path give you — code, media, capital, or just labor? And are you building as a Principal who owns the outcome, or an Agent optimizing for appearance?"
Companion Requirement
Always load with expert-engine:

What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
