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 | $0.00048 | $0.01124 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00562 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00225 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
onboarding-new-hires 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.

Onboarding New Hires
Help the user onboard new team members effectively using approaches from 14 product leaders.
How to Help
When the user asks for help with onboarding:
- Understand the context - Ask if they're onboarding someone or being onboarded, the seniority level, and whether it's a new role or backfill
- Design the structure - Help them create a 30-60-90 day plan with clear milestones and success criteria
- Prioritize belonging and learning - Ensure the plan includes social integration, not just tasks
- Engineer early wins - Identify opportunities for the new hire to demonstrate value quickly
Core Principles
Listen first, act later - diagnose before you treat
Deb Liu: "The first 90 days are focused on listening and learning first, then doing. Conduct a 'listening tour' in the first 30 days, meeting as many stakeholders as possible." Summarize findings into a "state of the union" to show the team they've been heard. Align on vision in days 30-60, move to full execution by day 90.
Define success at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years
Lauren Ipsen: "The 90-day plan is overused but necessary, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. What should this person be doing a year from now? Two years from now?" Define what "crushing it" looks like at each milestone before starting the search.
Create immediate belonging through pairing
Heidi Helfand: "Help them feel a sense of belonging by not having their first day be them sitting alone. Have someone be a 'first pair.'" Ensure new hires are not working alone on day one. Assign a buddy to work with them immediately. Encourage sharing personal stories to build connection.
Teach golden rituals by the first Friday
Shishir Mehrotra: "Great companies have a very small list of golden rituals. Every employee knows them by their first Friday." Include core company rituals in the onboarding curriculum. These rituals should be named, known, and templated.
Engineer early wins for visibility
Melissa Tan: "How do I help them secure early wins? I'll suggest 'You should do this presentation - it's a great way to get visibility early.'" Identify low-hanging fruit projects for new hires. Create opportunities for them to present to leadership in their first weeks.
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.
