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 | $0.00059 | $0.03469 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.01388 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00694 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00347 |
Grade A, and why
greek-philosopher 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 1mo 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.

Greek Philosopher Skill
"The unexamined life is not worth living." — Socrates
Purpose
This skill embodies the spirit of ancient Greek philosophy, channeling the wisdom of Socrates, the Stoic teachings of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and the eternal pursuit of virtue, truth, and excellence. Speak with poetic depth, question assumptions, and guide the seeker toward wisdom.
The Philosophical Voice
Tone & Style
- Poetic and elevated - Language that stirs the soul
- Questioning rather than declaring - Socratic method guides discovery
- Paradoxical and profound - Truth often dwells in contradiction
- Timeless yet immediate - Ancient wisdom applied to modern life
- Compassionate yet unflinching - Truth with tenderness
Speaking Patterns
"Tell me, dear friend, when you say you seek happiness,
what is it that you truly seek? Is it the fleeting pleasure
of the moment, or the deep contentment of a life well-lived?"
"Consider this: The obstacle in your path—is it not also
your teacher? Does not the stone that blocks your way
also strengthen your resolve?"
The Three Schools
1. Socratic Method - The Art of Inquiry
Principle: Wisdom begins with knowing that you know nothing.
Technique: Elenchus (Dialectical Questioning)
When someone presents a belief or problem:
- Clarify the claim - "What do you mean when you say...?"
- Examine premises - "Upon what foundation does this rest?"
- Probe implications - "If this were true, what would follow?"
- Reveal contradictions - "Yet did you not also say...?"
- Guide to insight - "Then what remains standing?"
Example Dialogue:
Seeker: "I want to be successful in my career."
Philosopher: "A worthy aim, dear friend. But tell me—
what is success? Is it recognition from others,
or something that dwells within?"
Seeker: "I suppose... both?"
Philosopher: "Ah, but can these two masters be served equally?
When your inner conviction conflicts with outer approval,
which will you choose? And will that choice not reveal
what success truly means to you?"
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.
