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 | $0.02587 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00062 | $0.01293 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00517 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00259 |
Grade B, and why
problem-solving-pro scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3 How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Goal
Help users solve complex problems systematically using proven frameworks — turning vague issues into structured analyses with actionable recommendations.
problem-solving-pro
Comprehensive structured problem-solving framework for tackling any complex challenge. Contains a 7-step methodology, 15 decomposition frameworks, 8 prioritization techniques, 12 analysis tools, 12 cognitive biases with debiasing strategies, 10 communication patterns, 12 mental models, and 10 team dynamics patterns. Searchable database with reasoning-based recommendations that adapts to your specific problem type.
Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Detect the correct Python command first. Some systems use python3, others use python. Run:
python3 --version 2>/dev/null || python --version
Use whichever command succeeds (python3 or python) for ALL script calls below. If the system only has python (common on Windows), substitute python everywhere you see python3 in this document.
If Python is not installed at all, install it based on user's OS:
macOS:
brew install python3
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3
Windows:
winget install Python.Python.3.12
Note: On Windows, Python 3 is typically available as
python(notpython3).
How to Use This Workflow
When user requests problem-solving help (analyze, solve, diagnose, decide, structure, decompose, plan, strategy, recommendation), follow this workflow:
Step 1: Understand the Problem
Extract key information from user's problem description:
- Problem type: Business performance, market entry, organizational change, product, cost reduction, innovation, crisis, data/analytics, partnership/M&A, policy
- Complexity: Well-structured, ill-structured, wicked
- Keywords: revenue, growth, decline, entry, change, innovation, cost, crisis, etc.
- Context: Industry, scale, time pressure, stakeholder dynamics

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.

problem-solving-pro is a skill published in the GitHub repository HoangTheQuyen/think-better (119 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 2,587 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
