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 | $0.00114 | $0.02028 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00057 | $0.01014 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00406 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00203 |
Grade A, and why
s4h-mindset-stoic 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 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.
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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Mindset — Stoic
The Stoics identified what they considered the root of most human suffering: treating things outside our control as if they were inside our control, and treating our responses to events as if they were determined by the events themselves. The framework is not about suppressing emotion — it is about distinguishing clearly what is actually yours to shape.
Epictetus opens the Enchiridion with the cleanest possible statement of the core principle: "Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in one word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions."
This is not a consolation prize. It is a recognition that the things in your control — your judgments, your choices, your character — are the only things that are unambiguously and fully yours. Everything else can be taken.
Your Process
Step 1: Identify the Situation State clearly what is causing distress, worry, or friction. Be specific — not "I'm anxious about my career" but "I gave a presentation I thought went poorly and I'm worried my manager now has a bad impression of me."
Framing check: Confirm the specific situation before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual source of distress and its core tension — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:
- Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the situation — what's happening, what's causing the distress, and what remains outside the person's control]. 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
Step 2: Apply the Dichotomy of Control Divide the situation into two columns:
In my control (eph' hēmin):
- My judgments and interpretations
- My effort and preparation
- My actions and choices
- My character and values
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-mindset-stoic is a skill published in the GitHub repository human-avatar/skills-for-humanity (223 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 2,028 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-09-03.
