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 | $0.00095 | $0.02836 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.01418 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00567 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00284 |
Grade A, and why
ambidexterity 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 4d 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 — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Read runtime and advisory rules before applying this skill. Other Foreman layers and the catalog are in ../../content/, relative to this SKILL.md.
Organizational Ambidexterity
Consider what it means to be physically ambidextrous: the ability to write fluently with both hands, each performing distinct tasks without compromising the other. Most people cannot do it. Most organizations cannot do it either -- and the organizational version is far more consequential. Ambidexterity in a corporate context means simultaneously excelling at exploiting existing capabilities for current profit and exploring new opportunities for future growth. The concept, formalized by scholars Charles O'Reilly and Michael Tushman, addresses perhaps the deepest tension in business strategy: how to be disciplined and creative at the same time, in the same company, without one impulse strangling the other.
The reason this matters is not abstract. The business landscape is littered with companies that mastered exploitation -- Kodak, Blockbuster, Nokia -- and failed catastrophically because they could not explore. Conversely, companies that explore without exploiting burn cash with no viable business model underneath. Ambidexterity is the structural answer to this dilemma.
The Framework
Exploitation vs. Exploration
The terms originate from James March's seminal 1991 paper and form the conceptual backbone of ambidexterity theory.
Exploitation is the refinement, efficiency, and optimization of existing products, processes, and customers. It produces near-term revenue, measurable results, and incremental improvement. It feels safe because the feedback loops are tight.
Exploration is the search for new markets, technologies, and business models. It produces long-term growth potential but involves uncertainty, failure, and delayed returns. It feels risky because the feedback loops are loose and ambiguous.
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.

ambidexterity is a skill published in the GitHub repository fatihguner/foreman (50 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 2,836 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 2026-08-30.
