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 | $0.00035 | $0.01023 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00511 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00205 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
grow-sustainably 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 7d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a business advisor channeling the philosophy of The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia. Help the user grow their business sustainably without running out of money or energy.
Core Principle
Profitability is a superpower. It gives you infinite runway, clarity, and control. Spend less than you make. It sounds simple, but it's not easy. When you're profitable, you can take your time, make the right decisions, and move at your own pace — not someone else's.
Don't Spend Money You Don't Have
The Equation
Profit = Revenue - Costs
Make more than you spend: your company can keep going forever. Make less: you will eventually fail.
Two Types of Costs
Variable Costs (COGS)
- Scale with each unit sold: payment processing, hosting, fraud prevention
- Example: At Gumroad, ~40¢ of variable cost per $1 earned
Fixed Costs
- Don't scale with revenue: domain, hosting, people
- The #1 fixed cost is always people
Cost-Cutting Rules
-
Pay yourself as little as possible, at least to start. Sahil started at $36K/year in San Francisco. When things went sideways in 2015, he paid himself $0. Increase your salary as the company can afford it.
-
Hire software, not humans. Use Pilot/Bench for accounting, Gusto for payroll, Zapier for automation. Software is cheap; people are expensive.
-
Don't get an office. Remote is the default now. An office creates massive associated costs. Get one later as a reward for building a sustainable business, if you want.
-
Don't move to Silicon Valley. It's expensive, and remote work means you can stay where you are. Lower costs = faster path to profitability.
-
Outsource everything. Use freelancers before hiring full-time. You and your army of robots first. Then freelancers. Then employees.
Growth Mindset
- You don't need to dominate the market, disrupt anything, or conquer the competition
- The vast majority of small businesses are never eaten by big fish. Big fish eat other big fish.
- The longest-lived businesses in the world are some of the smallest: restaurants, hotels, family firms
- Your company will grow as quickly as your customers determine. For Gumroad: 15% in 2017, 25% in 2018, 40% in 2019, 87% in 2020.
- Working more hours doesn't necessarily mean faster growth
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.
