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 | $0.00086 | $0.03074 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01537 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00615 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00307 |
Grade A, and why
growth-mindset 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 2d 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 — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Growth Mindset
In 1998, Carol Dweck and Claudia Mueller published a study that quietly detonated decades of received wisdom about praise. They told one group of children they were smart after they solved a problem. They told another group they had worked hard. The "smart" children subsequently avoided challenging tasks, collapsed under difficulty, and lied about their scores. The "hard work" children sought harder problems, persisted longer, and performed better. That single experiment -- replicated and extended over the next two decades at Stanford -- revealed something profound about the architecture of human motivation: the beliefs people hold about the nature of their own abilities fundamentally shape how they respond to setbacks, challenges, and opportunities. Dweck formalised this into two orientations -- fixed mindset and growth mindset -- and in doing so provided a framework that has reshaped education, sport, and, increasingly, how organisations think about talent, innovation, and culture.
The Framework
Fixed vs. Growth: The Two Orientations
The distinction is not about optimism versus pessimism, or effort versus laziness. It concerns a deeper belief about the malleability of human capability.
| Dimension | Fixed Mindset | Growth Mindset |
|---|---|---|
| Core belief | Ability is innate and static | Ability is developed through effort, strategy, and learning |
| Response to challenge | Avoids challenges that risk exposing inadequacy | Embraces challenges as learning opportunities |
| Response to failure | Interprets failure as evidence of inherent limitation | Interprets failure as information about what to adjust |
| Response to effort | Views effort as proof of insufficient talent | Views effort as the path to mastery |
| Response to criticism | Defensive; takes feedback personally | Seeks feedback as developmental input |
| Response to others' success | Threatened; perceives it as diminishing own standing | Inspired; studies it for learnable lessons |
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.

growth-mindset is a skill published in the GitHub repository fatihguner/foreman (47 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 3,074 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
