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 | $0.00105 | $0.01803 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00901 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00361 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00180 |
Grade A, and why
checklist 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 5d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Checklist
Overview
A checklist is a short written list of must-not-skip steps for a complex repeated operation. It externalizes working memory — which fails under load, ego, time pressure, and fatigue — so attention stays on the situation rather than step recall. Boeing 1935 → Pronovost ICU 2001 → WHO Surgical 2008: each produced 36-47% reductions in major adverse events at near-zero cost.
Composes with metacognition, confirmation-bias, cognitive-load-theory, premortem, inversion.
When to Use
- High-stakes repeated operations (deployments, launches, M&A close, hiring decisions, financial close)
- Multiple steps where skipping one costs far more than running the checklist
- Multi-person operations where coordination must be consistent
- New team members joining a critical workflow
- Shipping or updating an AI agent / model version in production — evals, guardrails, spend caps, rollback: known steps that skilled teams skip under deadline
Not when: operation is simple/one-off; no recurring pattern exists; checklist culture creates false confidence (mechanical checking without thought).
Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)
- Engine mode: user has a specific operation → run The Process directly.
- Coach mode: user is new to the framework → guide step by step.
In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.
- One-line: for any complex repeated operation, a 6-10 item checklist outperforms expert memory under load — it externalizes the steps that fail systematically.
- Check fit: repeated + high-stakes + consequential errors = checklist candidate. Simple or one-off = skip.
- Elicit their real case: what operation, where does it fail, what near-misses have occurred?
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

checklist is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 1,803 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.

cash-flow-snapshot
Builds a 13-week rolling cash forecast from a bank export, receivables, and payables: opening balance, weekly inflows tagged committed/likely/hopeful, fixed and variable outflows, a lowest-point alert, and runway in weeks — plus three levers (collect faster, cut, delay) whenever runway falls under 8 weeks. Use when…
close-management
Runs the month-end close: generates a day-by-day runbook from D-2 to D+5 as CLOSE- .md with an owner matrix, dependency-ordered tasks (subledgers → accruals → reconciliations → flux → lock), numeric flux thresholds, a preparer/reviewer sign-off log, and close metrics such as days-to-close and reopened entries. Use…
compliance-check
Compliance pre-flight for a feature, campaign, or initiative — maps the data and activity involved, checks applicable regimes (privacy/GDPR-style, consumer protection, marketing rules, sector-specific), lists required approvals and notices, builds a gap list with remediation owners, and ends in a go/no-go…
financial-statements
Builds a full statement set — P&L, balance sheet, and indirect cash flow — from a trial balance or transaction export, mapping accounts to a standard chart and proving every tie-out in code. Use when the user says 'build a P&L from this trial balance', 'turn this export into financials', 'I need a balance sheet for…

Writes production-grade, distinctive interface code — one strong art direction (editorial, brutalist, soft-depth, retro-terminal), a real typographic scale, custom details (cursor, selection, focus states), semantic HTML, delivered as a single file or as components.
