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 | $0.00051 | $0.01436 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00718 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00287 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00144 |
Grade A, and why
founder-sales 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.

Founder Sales
Help the user close early customers and codify a repeatable sales process using insights from 16 product leaders.
How to Help
When the user asks for help with founder sales:
- Understand their stage - Ask how many customers they have, whether they have a repeatable ICP, and whether they're pre-product or have something to demo
- Diagnose the bottleneck - Determine if the problem is lead generation, qualification, discovery, closing, or implementation
- Guide the approach - Help them craft outreach, prepare for discovery calls, or design their sales process based on their specific situation
- Document for repeatability - Encourage them to capture what works so they can eventually hand it off
Core Principles
The founder IS the product in early sales
Jen Abel: "Founder led sales is really that first milestone... the founder is the product." In early stages, the founder's novel insight and subject matter expertise are the primary drivers of interest. Leverage your status as founder to gain market access. Use your ability to see "budding moments" in conversations to refine the product vision.
Your biggest competitor is indecision, not other vendors
April Dunford: "40 to 60% of B2B purchase processes end in no decision... they couldn't figure out how to make a choice confidently." Focus on helping buyers make a choice confidently rather than just pitching features. Act as a guide to help them navigate the market. "No decision" is the safest path for overwhelmed buyers.
You cannot outsource early sales
Pete Kazanjy: "The founder's got to do that stuff... it's going to be way easier for you to get minimally viable good at selling." Don't hire a VP of Sales until you've closed the first couple dozen customers yourself. Use early sales calls as customer development. Focus on becoming "minimally viable" at selling, not a master.
Sell it before you build it
Todd Jackson: "I want to sell it before I build it, because I really want the signal from customers to be the guide and the oxygen that drives what I'm building." Use Figma mock-ups to secure the first 5-10 customers before writing extensive code. Determine the fidelity required for a demo based on the product type.
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.
