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 | $0.00094 | $0.00684 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00342 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
founder-led-sales 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 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.
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-Led Sales — Sell It Yourself Until It's Repeatable
Overview
Before product-market fit, the founder must run sales personally — not because it scales, but because it's the fastest, highest-fidelity discovery loop and the only way to learn what actually closes. Hiring a salesperson to sell an unproven product usually fails: they can't articulate a value prop that doesn't exist yet, and the founder loses the learning. You earn the right to hire sales by first closing repeatably yourself.
When to Use
- First ~$0→$1M / first dozens of customers
- Deciding whether to hire a salesperson
- Selling something new whose pitch isn't yet nailed
The Process
- Go direct to buyers yourself — outbound, warm intros, communities. Do the unscalable outreach.
- Run discovery, not pitching — learn their problem, budget, and buying process (pairs with the-mom-test, SPIN discovery).
- Sell manually and imperfectly — a deck and a call beat a funnel; concierge-close early deals.
- Log every objection and win reason verbatim; the transcript is your future pitch, pricing, and playbook.
- Codify the repeatable motion — ICP, message, objections, close steps. Gate: if you can't write down why deals close, it isn't repeatable yet → keep selling, don't hire.
- Only then hire/automate — hand a documented, closing motion to a rep or an agent. Gate: hiring before repeatability transfers a problem, not a system.
Applying It Well
- Founder credibility closes early deals no rep can — use it.
- Don't hide behind product/building to avoid selling; avoidance is the tell.
- Charge real money early; free "yes" isn't validation.
Red Flags
- Hiring a salesperson to avoid doing sales.
- Automating a funnel before a human has closed repeatably.
- No written record of objections/win reasons.
Verification
- Founder personally closed the first cohort
- Objections + win reasons logged verbatim
- Repeatable motion documented (ICP/message/close)
- Real money collected before scaling
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-led-sales is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 684 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 2026-09-03.
