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 | $0.00219 | $0.00562 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00110 | $0.00281 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00056 |
Grade B, and why
think-tank-dialectic scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
!`cat .claude/dispatch-config.md 2>/dev/null || true` What it actually says
Think Tank Dialectic — Hegelian Deliberation
Dispatch Chains (auto-injected)
!cat .claude/dispatch-config.md 2>/dev/null || true
A DIFFERENT tool than think-tank, not an upgrade: resolves genuine stalemates
via Thesis → Antithesis → Synthesis. Cost is high; use is rare by design.
Hard rules (the non-negotiables):
- Never first-resort: reach for
autopilot:think-tankfirst; escalate ONLY when its Decision Brief shows LOW consensus AND the decision is costly to reverse. Do not skip think-tank for a fresh question. - Max 2 rounds (there is no R3); session re-entry ladder (2nd invocation on the same confirmed problem = Quick Synthesis, 3rd = refuse with the four-option exit).
- HIGH R1 consensus (≥5/6) auto-downgrades — no forced dialectic on an aligned panel.
- Synthesis is NOT a compromise; if no honest higher-order integration exists, the brief says so instead of faking one.
MUST-READ: ../think-tank/references/dialectic-mode.md
— the FULL execution protocol (grounding rules 1–5, role composition + drift
mitigation, STEP 0–8, brief/scorecard templates). Do not run the dialectic from
this summary alone.
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.

think-tank-dialectic is a skill published in the GitHub repository cookys/autopilot (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 219 tokens to every session and 562 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
