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 | $0.00118 | $0.01924 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.00962 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00385 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00192 |
Grade A, and why
knowing-and-doing-as-one 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.

Knowing and Doing as One
Overview
When you say "I know I should but I just don't do it," the standard explanation is a failure of willpower. This skill rejects that. The gap between knowing and doing is the diagnostic signature that the knowing was never complete in the first place.
Wang Yangming (王阳明, 1472–1529) formalized this in 知行合一 (zhīxíng héyī): "There has never been one who knows but does not act. To know and not act is simply not to know." Modern research (Gollwitzer 1999, Pfeffer & Sutton 2000, Ries 2011) has independently converged on the same operational conclusion.
Composes with: metacognition · founder-mindset · lean-startup · critical-thinking
When to Use
Apply when: "I know I should but I haven't" · analysis paralysis going in circles · assessing whether someone actually learned from past experience · strategy/lessons-learned doc produced no operational change · org repeating the same mistake · someone invokes "say-do gap," "knowing-doing gap," or "Wang Yangming."
When NOT to use: barrier is demonstrably external (capital, regulation, waiting for a trigger) · "strategic patience" with specifiable duration · tempted to use it to shame rather than diagnose.
Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)
- Engine mode: user has a concrete "I know but I haven't" case → run The Process directly.
- Coach mode: user is unfamiliar or has no concrete case → 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 what-it-is: when you say "I know I should but I haven't," that's not a willpower problem — it's evidence that some specific part of knowing hasn't actually happened yet.
- Check fit against When to Use / When NOT to use. If the barrier is genuinely external, point elsewhere.
- Elicit their real case — a concrete "I know but I haven't," their own or someone they're helping. Don't run on hypotheticals.
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
- Walk through The Process one step at a time with their actual input.
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
- Close by naming the specific knowledge component that was incomplete, and the one next action that would test whether it is now complete.
[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]
What ships with it
2 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.

knowing-and-doing-as-one is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 1,924 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
