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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00047 | $0.01934 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00967 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00387 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00193 |
Grade A, and why
daily-pulse 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 8d 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 — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Daily Pulse
Core Principles
The difference between a thriving shop and a failing one is often simply knowing the numbers daily. Most small business owners fly blind until the monthly P&L arrives 3 weeks after month-end — too late to fix anything. The Daily Pulse skill compresses the P&L cycle to 24 hours, giving the owner a crystal-clear morning snapshot of yesterday's performance.
The Five Daily Numbers That Matter
- Total Sales — Yesterday's revenue vs. target vs. same day last year
- Covers / Transactions — How many customers (for restaurants) or transactions (for retail)
- Average Check / Ticket — Revenue ÷ covers. Trending up or down?
- Labor Cost % — Total labor ÷ sales. Warning if > budget.
- COGS % — Cost of goods sold ÷ sales (restaurants) or COGS as % of sales (retail)
Skill Workflow
Step 1 — Connect Data Sources
Typical data sources (ask user which they use):
- POS System: Square, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, Shopify
- Payroll System: Gusto, ADP, or manual hours
- Inventory System: Current stock counts, received orders
- Bank Account: For actual COGS (invoiced amounts)
If no system integration is available:
"No problem. I can build your daily report from a simple template. Each evening, answer 5 quick questions and I'll generate your pulse report. Let me set that up."
Step 2 — Build the Daily Flash Report
Generate a structured daily summary:

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.
