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 | $0.00061 | $0.02914 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01457 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00583 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00291 |
Grade A, and why
apply-enabling-structure 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 5d 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apply Enabling Structure
Build the conditions, remove the obstacles, and design the structures that let your team succeed — rather than directing through control — because the leader whose presence is barely required has built something that works.
Why This Is Best Practice
道德经 Chapter 17 (Laozi, ~6th–4th century BC):
太上，不知有之；其次，亲而誉之；其次，畏之；其次，侮之。信言不足焉，有不信焉。悠兮其贵言。功成事遂，百姓皆谓我自然。
"The highest ruler: people barely know he exists. The next: they love and praise him. The next: they fear him. The lowest: they despise him. When trust is insufficient, there is distrust. How careful he is with words. When the work is done and the goal accomplished, the people say: we did this ourselves."
Why best: Laozi's hierarchy of leadership is diagnostic, not aspirational: the leader who is barely noticed is not absent — they have built enabling structures so capable that the team attributes success to itself. The leader who is loved and praised is still the visible cause of success, meaning the team depends on them. The feared leader produces compliance, not capability. The despised leader produces neither.
Robert Greenleaf — "The Servant as Leader" (1970): Greenleaf's foundational work on servant leadership, written while he was at AT&T, reversed the conventional leadership model: the leader's primary function is to serve the people they lead, removing obstacles and creating conditions for their success. Adopted explicitly at Southwest Airlines (credited as a factor in sustained profitability in a chronically unprofitable industry), Marriott International, Starbucks ("partner" language, 1987), and TDIndustries (Fortune "Best Companies to Work For" list for 20+ consecutive years). Named as one of Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles: "Servant Leadership — Leaders serve their teams." Taught at the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, Harvard Business School, Wharton, and hundreds of MBA programs globally.
W. Edwards Deming — "Out of the Crisis" (1982) / 14 Points: Deming's 14 points for management include explicit enabling-structure principles: "Drive out fear" (Point 8 — fear of asking questions or reporting problems destroys information quality); "Remove barriers that rob people of their right to pride of workmanship" (Point 12 — bureaucratic obstacles that prevent good work are management failures, not employee failures); "Institute leadership" (Point 7 — leadership means helping people do a better job, not supervising output). Deming's work transformed Japanese manufacturing (Toyota, Sony, Nissan) and is the foundation of modern quality management systems. ISO 9001 quality standards are partly derived from Deming's principles; applied globally across manufacturing, healthcare, and services.
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-enabling-structure is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeffreytse/grimoire-core (4 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 2,914 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.
