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 | $0.00084 | $0.02429 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.01215 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00486 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00243 |
Grade A, and why
budget-creation-management 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Budget Creation & Management
Build and maintain the company's operating budget — annual plans, quarterly refreshes, and rolling forecasts. Budget by department, track variances, and manage budget vs actuals. Goal: every dollar has an owner, a purpose, and a plan.
Purpose
Every startup dollar is scarce and every expense needs justification. This skill ensures budgets are built from scratch (zero-based), aligned with strategic priorities, and managed actively through variance tracking and re-forecasting. It solves the problem of budget drift — where last year's spend becomes next year's baseline without questioning whether it's still the right allocation.
When to Use
- "Create our annual budget"
- "Build a departmental budget"
- "What's our OpEx run-rate?"
- "Review budget vs actuals"
- "Re-forecast based on new information"
- "Allocate budget to departments"
Inputs Required
- Historical actuals — P&L by department (monthly, last 12–24 months).
- Headcount plan — current and projected from
headcount-and-comp-planning. - Revenue forecast — from
revenue-forecasting(drives variable costs). - Strategic priorities — what the company is trying to achieve (drives spend allocation).
- Runway target — months of cash to target (drives total spend envelope).
Quick Reference
| Concept | Description | Key Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| OpEx envelope | Total spend available after gross margin minus target burn | Revenue × Gross Margin % − Target Monthly Burn |
| Zero-based budgeting | Build each budget from scratch, not from last year's numbers | Don't use "last year + 20%" |
| Department benchmarks | Typical % of total OpEx by stage | R&D 30-60%, S&M 15-45%, G&A 10-25% |
| Variance threshold | Flag when actuals deviate from budget | > 10% or > $5,000 |
| Contingency | Holdback for unknowns | 10-20% of total budget |
Procedure
1. Set the Top-Down Envelope
Revenue: $X (from revenue-forecasting)
Gross Margin: $Y (revenue × margin %)
Target Burn (monthly): $Z (based on runway target)
Available OpEx: $Y - $Z
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.
