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 | $0.00202 | $0.02539 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00101 | $0.01269 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00508 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00254 |
Grade A, and why
galloway-storytelling 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 11d 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 — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Galloway Storytelling
Rewrite writing so it stops the scroll and stays in the reader's head. This skill applies Scott Galloway's storytelling craft — a small set of concrete moves, each with a name, a rule, and a why. It edits by cutting and elevating, not by adding words.
The two laws (everything serves these)
- Narrative > Numbers. "Data may be more truthful, but in the battle between narrative and numbers, most of the time humanity picks narrative." Lead with story; recruit the data to serve it.
- Emotion > Insight. "Making people feel something bests any business insight." The smartest point loses to the one that lands in the gut. Every move below exists to manufacture a feeling — surprise, fear, relief, recognition, hope.
If a rewrite is clearer but colder, it failed. The goal is felt, not just tight.
How to use this skill
When a user gives you a draft (or asks you to write something more engaging):
- Read the whole thing first and find its single best asset — the one surprising fact, number, or line. That becomes the hook and the spine. Everything else is either support or cut.
- Apply the moves below, in roughly this order: run the Wow Test to cut, elevate the numbers that survive, fix the hook, then tighten the voice with Assume Intimacy.
- Preserve the author's voice by default. Apply the structural moves, but keep their register, vocabulary, and personality. Sharpen; don't overwrite. Only shift fully into Galloway's punchy register if the user explicitly asks for it. If you're unsure whether a rewrite drifted, ask yourself: "would the original author recognize this as their own words, only better?"
- Hand back two things: the rewritten version, then a short Moves applied list naming which techniques you used and why. The rationale teaches the user the craft — it's not filler. Keep it to a few bullets; name the move, name what you cut or changed.
Don't turn every draft into a Galloway pastiche. A calm, sincere piece can be sharpened without being made "provocative." Match the move to the material.
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.

galloway-storytelling is a skill published in the GitHub repository giulioco/skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 202 tokens to every session and 2,539 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-08-31.
