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 | $0.00091 | $0.04187 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.02093 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00837 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00419 |
Grade A, and why
enemies-of-clear-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 6d 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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Enemies of Clear Thinking
AUTOPILOT. Most consequential decisions are not made by conscious thought. They are made by biological autopilot -- four default programmes running beneath awareness, producing outputs the decision-maker mistakes for deliberate choice. The Clear Thinking research into real-world judgment failure reveals a pattern that Kahneman's System 1/System 2 model identifies at the cognitive level but does not fully operationalise at the behavioural one: between stimulus and response sits a gap, and in that gap, one of four defaults -- emotion, ego, social conformity, or inertia -- rushes in to fill the vacuum before reason can arrive. The entrepreneur who cannot name which default is driving a decision has already lost control of it.
The critical insight is that the failure point is not dramatic. It is ordinary. The moments that determine outcomes are not the boardroom showdowns or the fundraising pitches. They are the unremarkable Tuesday afternoon reactions -- the snapped reply to a co-founder, the silent acquiescence to a board member's flawed thesis, the refusal to revisit a strategy that stopped working six months ago. Mastery over these ordinary moments is the compound interest of good judgment.
The Framework
The framework identifies four biological defaults -- behavioural programmes written into human DNA by natural selection, executed automatically when triggered, unless the individual creates space to think. These defaults overlap and reinforce each other, but each has a distinct signature.
Default 1: The Emotion Default
The tendency to respond to feelings rather than facts. Anger, fear, excitement, and anxiety all compress the gap between stimulus and response to near zero. The emotion default does not announce itself; it simply acts.
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.

enemies-of-clear-thinking is a skill published in the GitHub repository fatihguner/foreman (50 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 4,187 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 2026-09-06.
