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 | $0.00045 | $0.01918 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00959 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00384 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00192 |
Grade A, and why
scarcity-urgency 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
scarcity-urgency
Purpose
Generate ethical scarcity and urgency elements for DTC offers. Scarcity and urgency are the two most powerful conversion accelerators in direct response — and the two most abused. Fake countdown timers, fabricated "only 3 left" claims, and phantom deadlines destroy trust and invite chargebacks. This skill produces scarcity/urgency elements that are genuinely true, ethically defensible, and conversion-effective. Every element includes copy text, visual treatment guidance, and an ethical justification proving the scarcity is real. If the scarcity isn't real, the skill says so and recommends alternatives.
Inputs
| Input | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
offer_description |
Yes | The product/service, price, and what the prospect gets |
scarcity_type |
Yes | One of: limited_stock, time_limited, bonus_deadline, seasonal, enrollment_cap |
deadline |
No | Specific date/time if applicable (e.g., "March 31, 2026 at midnight") |
inventory_count |
No | Actual remaining inventory or enrollment slots (must be truthful) |
target_audience |
Yes | Who the prospect is — awareness level and sophistication matter for scarcity framing |
Execution Protocol
Step 1 — Load Framework Context
Read rmbc-context/SKILL.md to load RMBC framework definitions. Scarcity and urgency sit at the CTA layer of RMBC — they answer "why now?" after the mechanism answers "why this?" and proof answers "why believe?" Without a strong mechanism and proof foundation, urgency feels manipulative. With them, urgency feels like helpful information.
Step 2 — Validate the Scarcity Claim
Before writing any copy, verify the scarcity is genuine:
| Scarcity Type | Genuine When | Fabricated When |
|---|---|---|
| Limited Stock | Physical inventory has actual production/supply constraints | Digital product with "only 47 left" |
| Time-Limited Pricing | Price genuinely increases after deadline (and stays increased) | Countdown resets on page refresh |
| Bonus Deadline | Bonus is genuinely removed after date (and doesn't come back) | Bonus "expires" but is offered again next week |
| Seasonal | Offer tied to real calendar event, season, or market cycle | "Summer sale" in February |
| Enrollment Cap | Genuine capacity limit — coaching seats, cohort size, bandwidth | Artificial cap on a digital course with no interaction |
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.

scarcity-urgency is a skill published in the GitHub repository coleschaffer/copywritingskills-rmbc (30 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,918 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.
