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 | $0.00094 | $0.04262 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.02131 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00852 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00426 |
Grade A, and why
stoic-pragmatism 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 — 206 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.
Stoic Pragmatism
Marcus Aurelius was both philosopher and emperor -- the tension between those roles produced the most pragmatic philosophy ever written. Plato had imagined a utopia governed by a philosopher-king. Marcus lived the reality and discovered what Plato could not have anticipated: that the demands of governing an empire -- plagues, wars, famines, betrayals, Senate politics, logistical nightmares on three continents -- leave no room for philosophy that does not work when applied. His Meditations were not written for publication. They were private notes, scrawled in campaign tents and palace chambers, by a man trying to close the gap between what he believed and what he did. That gap -- between theory and practice, between knowing and doing, between the philosophy lecture and Monday morning -- is the central problem of every founder who has ever attended a conference, read a business book, and returned to the office to find that nothing has changed.
The Framework
Stoic pragmatism is built on a single, uncomfortable premise: philosophy that does not change behaviour is entertainment. Seneca put it without decoration: philosophy "is not concerned with words, but with facts. It's not employed for some pleasure before the day is spent, or to relieve the uneasiness of our leisure. It shapes and builds up the soul, it gives order to life, guides action."
Principle 1: Habit Over Theory
"When the problem arose whether habit or theory was better for getting virtue, Musonius thought habit to be more effective." -- Musonius Rufus, Lectures, 5
Knowledge without practice is worse than useless -- it creates the illusion of competence. The founder who has read every book on management but cannot conduct a productive one-on-one is not educated; they are dangerously misinformed about their own capabilities.
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.

stoic-pragmatism is a skill published in the GitHub repository fatihguner/foreman (50 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 4,262 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.
