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 | $0.00033 | $0.00895 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00447 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00179 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00089 |
Grade A, and why
engineering-culture 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 11d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Engineering Culture
Help the user build strong engineering culture using frameworks from 19 product leaders who have built high-performing engineering organizations.
How to Help
When the user asks for help with engineering culture:
- Diagnose the current state - Understand their team size, practices, and pain points
- Identify the bottleneck - Determine if the issue is DevEx, org structure, talent, or process
- Design for the right outcomes - Focus on speed, stability, and developer satisfaction
- Balance structure with autonomy - Help calibrate how much process is needed
Core Principles
DevOps is capabilities, not tools
Nicole Forsgren: "DevOps is not a toolchain you buy. Marketing teams labeled toolchains DevOps because they wanted your money. DevOps is a set of capabilities - technical capabilities, architectural capabilities, cultural capabilities, and lean management practices." Focus on integrated capabilities, not just implementing specific tools.
Conway's Law is powerful
Dhanji R. Prasanna: "Conway's Law can be really, really powerful. You ship your org structure. What you're organized as in terms of teams and collaborating groups matters a lot to what you build." Organizational structure directly dictates architecture and product quality.
Engineers are becoming architects
Scott Wu: "We've thought about Devin as really allowing engineers to go from bricklayer to architect. A lot of it is just getting to the point where you can do the high-level directing and specify things exactly how you want." The future of engineering involves shifting humans from manual coding to architectural oversight.
DevEx is the foundation
Nicole Forsgren: "Developer Experience is what it's like to build software, day to day. The friction they face, the workflows they have to go through. It's important because when DevEx is poor, everything else just isn't going to help." Flow state, cognitive load, and feedback loops are the three pillars.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

engineering-culture is a skill published in the GitHub repository cnfeat/top-pm-skills (48 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 895 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
