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.
This is a copy
100% identical to market-scout — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
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 batterfried-philosophy172/Agent-Startup-Skills (2 stars, last pushed today), 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. It is 100% identical to market-scout, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
import
Import a self-contained NeatContext context bundle shared by another person, or reconcile a newer copy of a context already on this machine, leaving the source bundle unchanged. Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill or asks to import a NeatContext bundle.
save
Save durable decisions, findings, plans, and implementation knowledge from the visible Codex conversation into a new or existing NeatContext context. Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill or asks to preserve the current conversation as reusable context.
create
Create a fresh NeatContext context from a user-defined behavioral profile and an existing local knowledge folder. Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill or asks to create a new context rather than save the current conversation.
extensions
Report which extensions the connected NeatContext context expects, and whether this machine provides them. Use when the user asks what a context can reach, why an extension tool is missing, or how to connect one here.
export
Export a NeatContext context saved from a conversation into a self-contained bundle folder that can be shared or moved to another machine. Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill or asks to export a NeatContext context.
delete
Preview and permanently delete a NeatContext context while preserving any externally linked knowledge folder. Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill or clearly asks to delete a context.
