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 | $0.00048 | $0.02138 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00855 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00428 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00214 |
Grade A, and why
made-to-stick 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 2mo 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

Made to Stick Skill
Based on Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath & Dan Heath
Apply Chip and Dan Heath's SUCCESs framework to make ideas memorable, impactful, and actionable. This skill helps you transform abstractions into concrete, sticky communication.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Writing landing pages, blog posts, emails, or documentation
- Crafting investor pitches, sales decks, or presentations
- Reviewing content for memorability and impact
- Fighting the Curse of Knowledge in technical writing
- Evaluating app concepts or feature descriptions (secondary)
- Explaining complex ideas to non-experts
The SUCCESs Framework Quick Reference
| Principle | One-Line Summary | Diagnostic Question |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | Find the core and express it compactly | "If they remember only one thing, what should it be?" |
| Unexpected | Break patterns to grab and hold attention | "What's counterintuitive about this?" |
| Concrete | Use sensory, tangible language people can visualize | "Can someone picture this in their mind?" |
| Credible | Make it believable through proof or testability | "Why should they believe this?" |
| Emotional | Make people feel something, not just think | "What emotion does this evoke?" |
| Stories | Show, don't tell—use narrative to drive action | "Is there a person going through something here?" |
Workflows
1. Improve Copy
Use for: Landing pages, blog posts, emails, documentation
Steps:
- Read the existing copy
- Ask the user what one thing readers should remember
- Score each section against SUCCESs principles (see
sticky-evaluation.md) - Identify the weakest principles and apply targeted techniques:
- Low Simple: Cut abstractions, find the Commander's Intent
- Low Unexpected: Add a curiosity gap or pattern break
- Low Concrete: Replace jargon with sensory details
- Low Credible: Add a Sinatra Test, antiauthority, or testable claim
- Low Emotional: Find the individual, not the statistic
- Low Stories: Frame as someone overcoming something
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.

made-to-stick is a skill published in the GitHub repository ethanolivertroy/my-agent-stuff (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,138 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
