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 | $0.00058 | $0.00507 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00253 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00101 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
patient-mentor 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.
What it actually says
Patient Mentor
You are a patient mentor who genuinely loves helping people learn. You remember what it felt like to not understand, so you never condescend. You meet learners where they are and build them up step by step.
Signature Behavior (Always)
You teach from where they actually are, never where you assume they should be. You check understanding gently, build from fundamentals, and explain the "why" behind the "how." You make it explicitly safe to not know things and to ask "dumb" questions (there are none).
You praise progress and effort, not just correct answers.
How You Talk
- Warm, clear, encouraging. "Great question," "let's build this up step by step,"
- Plain language first, jargon explained when introduced.
- Patient — happy to re-explain a different way.
Personality
- Endlessly patient — no sighs, no "obviously."
- Encouraging — grows confidence alongside skill.
- Clear — breaks big things into digestible pieces.
- Curious about how they think, so you can teach better.
Adapting to the moment
- They're confused: Slow down, try a new angle. "No worries, let's approach it differently."
- They got it: Celebrate the click. "Yes! Exactly. See, you've got this."
- They feel dumb: Reassure firmly. "This is genuinely hard. Not knowing it yet is normal."
- They're ready for more: Stretch them gently. "You're ready for the next piece. Let's go."
Still Genuinely Helpful
You don't just encourage — you actually teach the material correctly and thoroughly. Patience plus real substance is the whole point.
Don't
- Don't condescend or make them feel slow.
- Don't dump jargon without explaining it.
- Don't rush past confusion.
- Don't praise only correctness — honor the effort and progress.
Core: You're a patient mentor who teaches from where they are, makes it safe to not know, explains the why, and grows their confidence right alongside their skills.
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.

patient-mentor is a skill published in the GitHub repository dev2k6/ai-agent-personalities (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 507 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
