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 | $0.00055 | $0.01906 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00953 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00381 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00191 |
Grade A, and why
daily-standup-journal 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 11d 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 — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Daily Standup & Journal
What It Does
Replaces the morning scramble with a structured check-in. Generates daily prompts tailored to your context — solo freelancer standup, team sync, gratitude journal, or weekly retrospective. Helps you stay accountable without needing a manager looking over your shoulder.
Session Types
1. Daily Solo Standup (5-Minute Check-In)
Best for: Freelancers, solopreneurs, remote workers
| Prompt | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| What am I committed to finishing today? | Clarifies intention |
| What will distract me, and how do I prevent it? | Anticipates friction |
| What is one thing I can defer or delete? | Reduces scope creep |
| What energy level am I at? (1-10) | Surfaces burnout risk |
| What is the one metric that tells me today was a win? | Creates a finish line |
Format: Reply with 1-2 sentences per prompt. Takes <5 minutes.
2. Daily Team Standup (Async)
Best for: Small remote teams, freelance collaborators
| Question | Focus |
|---|---|
| What did I accomplish yesterday? | Progress visibility |
| What will I work on today? | Intentionality |
| What blockers do I need help with? | Surface roadblocks |
| What one thing would make today productive? | Proactive planning |
Pro tip: Keep responses under 3 sentences each. Use a shared doc or channel. Read everyone's before starting your day.
3. Evening Reflection (Gratitude + Growth)
Best for: Personal development, habit tracking
| Prompt | Purpose |
|---|---|
| What went well today? | Reinforce positive patterns |
| What challenged me? | Identify growth edges |
| What did I learn? | Consolidate insights |
| What would I do differently? | Meta-learning |
| What am I grateful for? | Emotional resilience |
4. Weekly Retrospective (45-Minute Deep Dive)
Best for: Solopreneurs, small teams, end-of-week review
Section A: Wins & Losses
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 235 lines · 55 tokens per session scan A 0c2d53357e67
daily-standup-journal is a skill published in the GitHub repository cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills (470 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,906 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
stay-within-limits
Use when long-running or parallel agent work must respect 5-hour and weekly usage limits by checking usage between waves, pausing near the cap, and resuming only when the window is clear.
obsidian-bases
Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files) with views, filters, formulas, and summaries. Use when working with .base files, creating database-like views of notes, or when the user mentions Bases, table views, card views, filters, or formulas in Obsidian.
find-journalists
Build, refine, dedupe, and enrich small fit-checked journalist lists for newsjack campaigns. Uses the newsjack CLI (preferred) or the medialyst MCP for news search and journalist enrichment, and falls back to a best-effort local mode with no verified contacts; the agent owns how returned data is organized.
agent-estate
Perpetual autonomous work loop for Claude Code — no end condition, no memory regression, no context overfill. Maintains a persistent ledger across all sessions.
story-origin-check
Recover the first public timestamp and canonical major coverage for a newsjacking signal, then decide whether newer coverage is the same story, a different story, or a materially new development.
prompt-proximity-architecture
Turn an approved measurement charter, ICPs, and buyer jobs into a budget-aware prompt coverage blueprint across proximity bands, aided status, information acts, journey states, roles, locales, evidence grades, partitions, and measurement lanes. Use before prompt wording to define required, optional, and prohibited…
