What is concept-to-action?

A workflow for turning broad ideas from psychology, sociology, investing, or personal growth into projects with goals, steps, and measures of progress.

Use it with a topic or note file to extract useful ideas, search related notes, and create a staged project plan.

It helps convert reading and abstract advice into specific actions connected to the user's existing notes and priorities.

Token cost

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	$0.00026	$0.00539
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00216
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00108
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00054

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 0115fc98574e, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

concept-to-action 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Actionize

Transform abstract knowledge into concrete, executable project plans.

Vault Path

~~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~~md~obsidian/Documents/My_note

Input

User provides a file path or topic: /actionize <path-or-topic>

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Source Material

If path provided: read the file
If topic provided: use obsidian search query="<topic>" to find relevant files in 50_Clippings and PARA
Extract the core ideas, principles, and actionable insights
Search vault for user's background context (existing projects, areas, goals)

Step 2: Design Executable Project

Present a structured project plan to the user:

## Project Proposal: <Name>

### Goal
[Specific, measurable goal derived from the abstract concept]

### Background
[How this connects to your existing knowledge and projects]
Links: [[SourceClipping]], [[RelatedArea]]

### Phases
#### Phase 1: Foundation (Week 1-2)
- [ ] Action item 1
- [ ] Action item 2
**Success metric**: [Quantifiable indicator]

#### Phase 2: Development (Week 3-6)
- [ ] Action item 3
- [ ] Action item 4
**Success metric**: [Quantifiable indicator]

#### Phase 3: Integration (Week 7-8)
- [ ] Action item 5
**Success metric**: [Quantifiable indicator]

### Quantified Success Indicators
- Metric 1: Target value by date
- Metric 2: Target value by date
- Overall: [How to know the project succeeded]

### Resources Needed
- Time: X hours/week
- Tools: ...
- Knowledge: ...

Step 3: Save & Connect

After user approval:

Save as 20_Projects/<ProjectName>.md with full frontmatter
Link back to source clippings/notes
Link to relevant wiki entries
Update source file's Related section

Important Rules

Goals MUST be specific and measurable — no vague aspirations
Every phase needs a quantified success metric
Action items must be concrete enough to start immediately
Connect to existing vault knowledge (don't create in isolation)
Consider user's available time and existing commitments
Domains: psychology, sociology, investment, finance, self-growth, personal development

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.
