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 | $0.00081 | $0.01590 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00795 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00318 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00159 |
Grade A, and why
s4h-strategy-alliance 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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Strategy: Alliance
Machiavelli's counter-intuitive warning in The Prince: alliances built on goodwill are fragile; alliances built on shared interest are durable. A prince who relies on gratitude will be disappointed the moment the interest calculus changes. A prince who builds alliances on the foundation of mutual benefit will hold them through adversity because both parties have a reason — independent of sentiment — to maintain the relationship.
Sun Tzu's operational principle complements this: "Know the local situation." Before deciding who to ally with, who to neutralize, and who to oppose, you must know what each party actually wants — not what they say they want, not what you hope they want, but what their actual interest is in this situation. Misreading a party's interest and trying to ally with them on incorrect assumptions produces a fragile alliance at best and an active opponent at worst.
The most common alliance error is the inverse: trying to win everyone over. Alliances have a cost — they create obligations, signal positions, and consume relationship capital. The discipline is identifying which alliances are necessary, which neutralizations are sufficient, and which parties are simply not worth the investment. Alliances managed poorly — obligations created without the support they were supposed to purchase — are worse than no alliances. They drain resources and signal weakness.
Your Process
Step 1: Party map List everyone involved in or affected by this situation. For each: what do they actually want (not what they say), what is their current position relative to your objective, and what is their capacity to help or hurt you?
Framing check: Confirm the specific alliance situation before continuing. State what you've identified — the objective being pursued, the competitive or political context, and the rough set of parties involved — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:
- Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the objective, context, and parties]. 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
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-strategy-alliance is a skill published in the GitHub repository human-avatar/skills-for-humanity (223 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,590 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 2026-09-03.
