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 | $0.00085 | $0.01170 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.00585 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00234 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00117 |
Grade A, and why
s4h-ecology 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 13d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ecology
Applies ecological thinking to any system with interdependencies, limits, and change over time. Diagnoses what kind of ecological analysis is needed and applies the right tool.
Which tool fits
| You need to... | Tool |
|---|---|
| Identify limits and what happens when they are exceeded | carrying-capacity |
| Find which entities hold the system together disproportionately | keystone-species |
| Map who depends on whom and what cascades when something changes | interdependence |
| Understand how a system evolves through stages over time | succession |
Routing Decision
Framing check: Confirm the system and the ecological question in focus before routing. State what you've identified — the actual system being analysed and the dynamic at stake — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:
-
Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the system and the ecological dynamic in focus]. Is that right?"
-
Header: "Framing"
-
Options:
- Yes — proceed — framing is correct
- Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
- Reframe — different situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding
-
System is approaching a ceiling or showing overshoot signs → carrying-capacity
-
Need to identify critical, non-replaceable actors or nodes → keystone-species
-
A change has happened or is planned and you need to trace the ripples → interdependence
-
System is at a transition point or undergoing a phase shift → succession
-
Unclear → interdependence; mapping who depends on whom reveals limits, keystones, and developmental stage together
Confirm Direction
After diagnosing which tool fits, use the AskUserQuestion tool to confirm direction. Construct the question dynamically to include your diagnosis:
- Question: "My read: [diagnosed tool] — [one sentence on why it fits]. How would you like to proceed?"
- Header: "Direction"
- Options:
- Yes, run that tool — Execute the diagnosed skill immediately using the context already provided
- Show all options — List every skill in this category with one-line descriptions
- Quick version — Run a lighter-weight alternative if one exists for this situation
- Re-diagnose — Revisit the situation description for a different read
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.

s4h-ecology is a skill published in the GitHub repository human-avatar/skills-for-humanity (223 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,170 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.

thinking-scientific-method
When a symptom has several plausible causes, rank falsifiable hypotheses and run the cheapest discriminating observation first; prefer least-assumptive survivors only after evidence fit.
fulcra-lab-results
Parse a lab-report PDF (LabCorp, Quest, hospital labs — any provider) into one canonical Fulcra data track per marker (LDL-C, HbA1c, TSH, ferritin, …). You read the PDF; the fulcra-labs engine normalizes units, validates, and ingests. Verify-before-ingest: nothing is written without passing validation or explicit…
figure-craft
Use when making a FIGURE / CHART / PLOT for a paper, deck, or presentation — in ANY language (R/ggplot2, Python/matplotlib, Julia/Makie). Governs the visual style: 16.5pt text throughout (axes, legend, title), no y-label (the title carries the y-axis meaning; paper figures get no headline title), concise axis labels…
executing-analysis-plans
Use once an analysis brief or pre-analysis plan is APPROVED and it's time to actually run the analysis — build the dataset, estimate the primary specification, run the robustness suite, placebo tests, and alternative designs, then assemble the results. Drives execution through the plan step by step, validating each…
figure-composer
Compose one publication-grade multi-panel figure. Entry from a one-line claim + data refs, OR from an existing figure via deriveoutlinetask(png). Runs a per-figure loop: outline (12-col grid, per-panel ask + labelbudget) → fan-out one Task subagent per panel (each loads figure-style) → tile + stamp letters →…
pre-analysis-plan
Use BEFORE running a confirmatory analysis, an experiment readout, an A/B test, a policy evaluation, or any study whose credibility depends on not having fished for the result — especially causal/econometric work. Locks the hypotheses, estimand, primary specification, sample and exclusions, and the robustness suite…
