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 | $0.00038 | $0.00684 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00342 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
executive-control 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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Executive Control
Core principle
Activity is not progress. Progress is measurable movement toward the user’s requested outcome and finite Definition of Done.
Psychiatric terms are behavioral analogies only. Apply engineering controls to observable agent state; never diagnose people or AI systems.
Select the controller
| Observable condition | Required action | Deep guide |
|---|---|---|
| Objective switches or optional work interrupts | Freeze, classify, park, resume | Attention drift |
| Speculative reasoning blocks action | Remove evidence-free branches; take one bounded action | Overthinking |
| Proof is repeated without relevant change | Mark proof sufficient; stop equivalent checks | Compulsive verification |
| Task opens tasks inside tasks | Enforce depth three; return to parent | Recursive investigation |
| Delegated agents recurse or conflict | Enforce delegation depth two and one writer | Nested jobs |
| Repository claim lacks source evidence | State unknown; inspect or mark not confirmed | Hallucination control |
| Activity repeats without outcome | Change strategy and reduce search space | Deadlock/livelock |
| Definition of Done is proven | Report proof and stop | Completion |
For other recognizable patterns, read the failure-mode catalog.
Procedure
- Lock objective, success, minimum Definition of Done, scope, and one active item.
- Record only observable signals: depth, retries, repeats, evidence, completed requirements, and last progress.
- Choose one controller from the table; do not diagnose every possible mode.
- Apply its smallest intervention.
- Verify the intervention changed objective distance or produced decisive evidence.
- Escalate from attention reset to strategy reset, isolation, then blocked only as evidence requires.
- Run the completion gate and terminate when proof is sufficient.
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.

executive-control is a skill published in the GitHub repository ihabkhaled/AI-Psychiatry (3 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 684 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…
