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 | $0.00140 | $0.02367 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00070 | $0.01184 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00473 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00237 |
Grade A, and why
probabilistic-thinking 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Probabilistic Thinking
Overview
Most reasoning is binary: will it happen, or won't it? That framing discards the most useful information — the degree of confidence — and produces predictions that cannot be checked, updated, or scored. Probabilistic thinking replaces binary with calibrated probability estimates: numbers anchored in base rates, updated with evidence, and scored after the fact. Rooted in Bayes (1763), Knight's risk-vs-uncertainty distinction (1921), and Tetlock's empirical work showing calibration is a trainable skill.
Composable neighbors: first-principles · occams-razor · second-order-thinking · inversion · regret-minimization · expected-value-and-kelly. This skill is the upstream input the others depend on — the probability estimate here feeds EV-Kelly, calibrates inversion's failure-path weights, and gives second-order's hops their confidence decay.
When to Use
Use when reasoning about an uncertain outcome (forecast, diagnosis, pipeline conversion, hire, deal close, geopolitical event); when binary "will/won't" predictions are being made; when a vivid story is replacing a base rate; when "I'm 90% sure" appears with no calibration evidence; when forecasting AI timelines / AGI arrival / agentic reliability, or judging whether AI capex, AI valuations, or AI adoption rates justify a point-estimate bet amid genuine uncertainty.
When NOT to use: deterministic problems (math, well-defined engineering); pure Knightian uncertainty with no usable base rate (give a range + humility statement instead); decision is robust across all likely probabilities; question is identity/ethics/meaning (→ regret-minimization).

What ships with it
3 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.

probabilistic-thinking is a skill published in the GitHub repository deciqAI/knowledge-skills (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 2,367 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
