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 | $0.00088 | $0.01440 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00720 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00288 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00144 |
Grade A, and why
s4h-strategy-timing 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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Strategy: Timing
Miyamoto Musashi opens The Book of Five Rings with a meditation on timing: "Timing exists in everything." His insight is not simply that timing matters — it is that timing must be actively read rather than passively experienced. A swordsman who ignores his opponent's rhythm and attacks on his own preferred schedule will find the interval closed. A swordsman who reads when the opponent is overextended, committed, or off-balance will find the interval open.
Sun Tzu's complementary metaphor: "Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe he is facing." Water does not insist on a fixed form. It adapts to the terrain continuously. The question is never simply "should I act?" — it is: "does the current moment give me an advantage that waiting would not compound, or does waiting improve conditions beyond what action now delivers?"
Both Musashi and Sun Tzu agree on one further principle: the opponent's timing is as important as your own. Attacking when your opponent is preparing is different from attacking when they are overextended. The interval is not a point on your schedule; it is a relationship between two rhythms.
Your Process
Step 1: Conditions favoring action now What is true right now that will not be true later? What windows are closing — competitor moves, decision-maker availability, market conditions, relationships, information advantages that decay? What cost do you pay for each week of delay?
Framing check: Confirm the specific timing situation before continuing. State what you've identified — the action being considered, the actor, the opponent or environment creating pressure, and the core temporal tension — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:
- Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the timing situation — the action, who is acting, what is creating the window or pressure, and what the core timing trade-off is]. 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-timing is a skill published in the GitHub repository human-avatar/skills-for-humanity (223 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,440 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.
