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 | $0.00051 | $0.01057 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00423 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00211 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00106 |
Grade A, and why
effectuation 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 2mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to effectuation — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Effectuation (Exploration Mode)
When to Apply
- Pre-PMF stage with unclear product direction
- Post-pivot with new market entry
- Goals are ambiguous or evolving
- No historical data to estimate probabilities (Knightian uncertainty)
- Every direction looks equally plausible
Core Framework
Three-Condition Test (Auto-Evaluate)
| Condition | Causation (YES) | Effectuation (NO) |
|---|---|---|
| Goal clarity | Founder can state clear, measurable goal | Goal is ambiguous or evolving |
| Environmental legibility | Clear which market signals matter | Every direction looks equally plausible |
| Historical data | Data exists to estimate probabilities | No precedent, Knightian uncertainty |
Mode selection:
- All 3 YES: Causation mode (Strategy Kernel, KPI Tree, Critical Chain)
- Any 1+ NO: Effectuation mode (this framework)
- Mixed: Hybrid mode (Causation structure with Effectuation flexibility)
Effectuation Cycle
In effectuation mode, DISABLE: KPI tree decomposition, buffer management, Critical Chain. Run this repeating expansion cycle instead:
1. Bird-in-Hand Audit "What resources do you have RIGHT NOW?"
- Skills (founder + team)
- Network (who do you know?)
- Capital (how much can you invest?)
- Technology (what have you already built?)
- Domain knowledge (what do you uniquely understand?)
2. Affordable Loss Ceiling (4 Dimensions)
Every experiment is checked against ALL four dimensions:
| Dimension | Question | Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Financial | "How much capital can you invest and survive if it goes to zero?" | Set dollar amount |
| Time | "How many months can you devote before you need income?" | Set month limit |
| Reputation | "Would failure here damage your ability to raise funds or get hired?" | low/medium/high |
| Psychological | "Can you handle this failing and try again?" | yes/no |
Track CUMULATIVE commitments across all active experiments. Individual experiments may each be small, but together they can exceed limits.
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.

effectuation is a skill published in the GitHub repository Ingramradical235/anty-framework (1 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,057 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to effectuation, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
