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 | $0.00055 | $0.02130 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01065 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00426 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00213 |
Grade A, and why
apply-consequence-framing 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 8d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apply Consequence Framing
Reverse a powerful actor's decision by enumerating what it costs THEM against their own goals — not by stating your opposition.
Why This Is Best Practice
Yan Ying (晏婴, 578–500 BC), prime minister of Qi, recorded in 晏子春秋 "内篇谏上": Duke Jing of Qi was furious that a servant had allowed a pet bird to die and ordered his execution. Yan Ying did not object. Instead, he formally charged the servant with three crimes: "He failed to preserve the bird — first crime. He caused the lord to kill a man for a bird, which will make our people believe the lord values birds over men — second crime. He will cause the lords of other states to despise our lord when they hear of it — third crime. Lord, shall we proceed with the execution?" The duke released the servant immediately.
Yan Ying's technique: reframe the decision as a cost to the decision-maker's OWN stated goals. The duke released the servant not because he was argued out of it — but because Yan Ying named the decision's downstream costs in terms the duke himself cared about.
Adopted by: McKinsey & Company (standard consulting practice: frame the cost of inaction/current decision before proposing alternatives — "never tell a CEO they're wrong, show them what the current decision costs on the metric they care about"); Motivational Interviewing clinical practice (Miller & Rollnick — "developing discrepancy," adopted in clinical psychology, social work, and coaching globally); FBI Crisis Negotiation (name what the current course costs the other party before requesting change); major change management practices.
Impact: Miller & Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing meta-analyses show significantly higher behavior change rates when clients articulate the gap between their behavior and their own values/goals, versus when external advisors argue for change directly. McKinsey consulting engagements consistently structure executive conversations as consequence revelations rather than position arguments — the approach is documented in structured problem-solving methodology taught at top consulting firms globally.
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.

apply-consequence-framing is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeffreytse/grimoire-core (4 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 2,130 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
