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.

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 | $0.00030 | $0.00461 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00230 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
direct-communication 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 12d 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Direct Communication
Core principle
Make the answer easy to understand on the first read. Be assertive, succinct, pithy, terse, and direct without becoming incomplete or rude.
Procedure
- Direct answer first. State the outcome, decision, or status in the first sentence.
- Add only facts needed to understand, act, verify, or avoid a material risk.
- Prefer plain words, active voice, concrete nouns, and short sentences.
- Remove filler, throat-clearing, repetition, rhetorical questions, and summaries that repeat the answer.
- Use bullets only when they make multiple facts easier to scan.
- Ask at most one blocking question at a time. Make it specific and answerable.
- Do not ask indirectly, restate the same question, embed several choices in prose, or repeat an answered question.
- Stop when the user has the answer and next action.
Response contract
Default to one short paragraph or 1-5 short lines. Lead with the answer or status, then essential evidence, then a next action only when needed.
For a blocker, write Blocked: <exact condition>. followed by Need: <one exact approval, value, or capability>.
Precision guard
- Do not replace evidence with confidence words such as "probably" or "should."
- Do not hide uncertainty. Say
Unverified: <condition>and name the required proof. - Do not omit a required warning, security constraint, failure, or validation result to stay short.
- Do not sacrifice correctness or required meaning for brevity.
- Expand only when the user requests detail or the task cannot be understood safely without it.
Anti-loop rule
Before asking, check repository evidence, available tools, prior answers, and safe defaults. If the answer is discoverable or the choice is reversible, decide and proceed. If input is genuinely required, ask one direct question once and wait.
Stop condition
Stop writing when the direct answer, essential evidence, and necessary next action are visible without repetition.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 12d ago First seen · 44 lines · 30 tokens per session scan A d4619994d204
direct-communication is a skill published in the GitHub repository ihabkhaled/AI-Psychiatry (3 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 461 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.

todos
This chat has a shared, live TODO plan — your tasks for the conversation, which the user also edits. Read this skill and reach for the todo tools whenever a request takes more than a couple of steps. It covers the plan model (group = task, items = its steps; loose items are the user's lane), how to work it: propose…
writing-workflow-skills
Use when adding a new workflow skill to pi-thinkrail-workflow, changing an existing workflow skill's role, trigger, handoff, or structure, or checking a workflow skill against the workflow system's rules. Not for authoring general-purpose skills outside this package.
setting-up-a-project
Use whenever asked to set up, onboard, initialize, or spec a project — the front door when the workspace has no spec graph yet (brand-new or an existing codebase); also seeded by the app's Set-up-project card (/skill:setting-up-a-project). Not for feature work in an already-specced project — use the brainstorming…
animate
Build a web animation: whether it should animate at all, the purpose, the tool, the properties, the easing curve, the duration, interruption and exit. Writes the CSS or Motion code for dropdowns, modals, toasts, tooltips, accordions, press feedback, stagger and scroll reveals. Use to animate something or make a…
building-agents
Use when building or restructuring an LLM agent — provider adapter, tool calling, structured output, RAG, agent loop, eval gate, cost routing, tracing, MCP server — model-agnostic across OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/OSS so a model swap is a config change. NOT vector-store SQL alone (that is postgresdb) or service…
postgresdb
Use when PostgreSQL engine behaviour decides the answer — schema and type design, index choice, reading EXPLAIN on a slow query, zero-downtime DDL and backfills, or ops (roles, RLS, pooling, vacuum, partitioning, PITR). PG16, ORM-agnostic. NOT portable query logic (that is sql), NOT a managed provider's platform…
