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 | $0.00060 | $0.01342 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00537 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00268 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
pyramid-principle 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 1mo 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pyramid Principle
Concept
Barbara Minto, working at McKinsey in the 1960s, codified how consultants structure communication: the answer first, supporting arguments second, evidence third. Top-down. Audiences don't want a journey of discovery; they want the conclusion, then the reasons.
The Pyramid Principle works like this:
- Top: the single-sentence answer to the question on the audience's mind.
- Middle: 3–5 supporting arguments. Each argument is itself a complete thought (not a topic).
- Bottom: evidence — data, examples, observations — supporting each argument.
Used at the end of a strategy analysis (after MECE, Issue Tree, Hypothesis, Pareto, So What), the Pyramid translates the analytical work into a deliverable that a CEO can read in 90 seconds and quote in a board meeting.
Required output format
A pyramid structure rendered in Markdown: top-line answer in bold, supporting arguments as numbered list items each with their own evidence sub-bullets.
**Answer:** [One-sentence direct answer to the question. Specific. Actionable. No hedging.]
1. **[Supporting argument 1]**
- [Evidence point]
- [Evidence point]
- [Evidence point]
2. **[Supporting argument 2]**
- [Evidence point]
- [Evidence point]
3. **[Supporting argument 3]**
- [Evidence point]
- [Evidence point]
Defaults & flex points
| Default | When to flex |
|---|---|
| 3–5 supporting arguments | If only 2 arguments genuinely make the case, use 2. If you have 7, you're confusing arguments with evidence — re-group. |
| 2–4 evidence points per argument | Use as many as you need — but if you have 8, you're conflating evidence with subsidiary arguments. Re-structure. |
| Top-line is one sentence | Don't flex. Two sentences is two answers; pick one. |
| Top-line is specific and actionable | Don't flex. "We should improve customer experience" is not a Pyramid top-line; "Reverse the price increase on the $50–$250K segment within 30 days" is. |
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.

pyramid-principle is a skill published in the GitHub repository ConrayGambit/Strategy-Consultant-5-Consulting-Frameworks (30 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,342 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
