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 | $0.00123 | $0.02671 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00062 | $0.01336 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00534 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00267 |
Grade A, and why
niche-opportunity-finder 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 12d 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.

Niche Opportunity Finder
Analyze search demand, competition, and available affiliate programs to surface untapped niches worth entering. Outputs a scored shortlist with clear reasoning so beginners can start promoting in under an hour.
Stage
This skill belongs to Stage S1: Research
When to Use
- User is new to affiliate marketing and has no niche
- User is unhappy with their current niche and wants alternatives
- User wants to validate a niche idea before investing time
- User asks which niches are trending or low-competition
- User wants to find niches underserved by existing affiliates
Input Schema
{
interests: string[] # (optional) Topics user already knows or cares about
audience: string # (optional) Who they plan to reach — "beginners", "professionals", "parents"
platform: string # (optional) Where they'll publish — "blog", "tiktok", "youtube", "linkedin"
budget: string # (optional) "zero" | "low ($0-50/mo)" | "medium ($50-200/mo)"
goal: string # (optional) "first $100" | "side income $1k/mo" | "full-time income"
avoid: string[] # (optional) Niches or topics to exclude
}
Workflow
Step 1: Understand the User's Situation
Ask (if not already clear from context):
- Any topics you already know well or are curious about?
- Where will you publish content? (blog, TikTok, YouTube, newsletter...)
- What's your income goal in the first 6 months?
If user says "just find me something" → default to: AI/SaaS tools, YouTube or blog, goal = first $500/mo.
Step 2: Generate Niche Candidates
Produce 8-12 niche candidates across 3 tiers:
Tier A — Trending (high demand, growing fast):
Use web_search "fastest growing affiliate niches [current year]" and
web_search "trending affiliate programs [current year]" to find niches with
momentum. Look for: AI tools, health tech, fintech, remote work tools, creator economy.
Tier B — Evergreen (stable demand, proven programs): Always-on niches: personal finance, web hosting, email marketing, SEO tools, fitness/wellness, online education, cybersecurity.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
