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 | $0.00086 | $0.00701 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.00351 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
founder-burnout-sustainability 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.

Founder Sustainability — Protect the Company's Key Asset
Overview
In a small company the founder is the critical infrastructure: when their energy, health, or judgment fails, the company fails. Burnout isn't a badge — it degrades exactly the decision quality the business depends on, and it's usually the result of an unsustainable system, not weak willpower. Treating founder sustainability as an operational requirement (not self-indulgence) protects the highest-leverage asset you have.
The Process
- Read the early signals — dread, cynicism, dropping output/decision quality, sleep/health slipping. Gate: if judgment is already degrading, this is an operational risk, not a mood — act now.
- Find the real driver — chronic overload, no recovery, isolation, or lack of progress/control (each has a different fix).
- Protect the non-negotiables — sleep, exercise, relationships; these are inputs to decision quality, not rewards for finishing.
- Cut or delegate the load — ruthless prioritization, SOP + delegate/automate the draining repetitive work (see sop-systemization, when-to-make-first-hires).
- Build recovery into the system — real breaks, boundaries, peer support; a pace you can hold for years, not weeks.
- Re-check periodically — sustainability is a maintained state, not a one-time fix. Gate: "I'll rest after this milestone" repeated indefinitely = the trap.
When to Use
- Sustained overload / declining energy or judgment
- Before a long push, to design a survivable pace
- Founder isolation or loss of motivation
Applying It Well
- Frame recovery as protecting decision quality — it reframes rest as strategy.
- Delegating/automating the draining tasks fixes the system, not just the symptom.
- Peer/founder community counters isolation, a top burnout driver.
Red Flags
- Treating exhaustion as a badge of commitment.
- "Rest after the next milestone" on infinite repeat.
- Judgment/health degrading with no change to the system.
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.

founder-burnout-sustainability is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 701 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
