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 | $0.00097 | $0.01630 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00815 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00326 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00163 |
Grade A, and why
apply-hay-job-evaluation 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.

Apply Hay Job Evaluation
Score a role's inherent Know-How, Problem Solving, and Accountability requirements — not the person currently performing it — to compare very differently-titled roles for compensation banding or organizational leveling on a consistent, structurally-derived basis, because job titles and informal seniority perceptions vary inconsistently across departments and don't provide a comparable basis on their own.
Why This Is Best Practice
Why best: Comparing roles by title or informal seniority perception fails specifically because titles and seniority signals are not standardized across departments or functions — a "senior" title in one department may reflect substantially different actual requirements than a "senior" title in another. The Hay method's specific contribution is decomposing a role into three structurally distinct factors that can each be scored against a common guide chart regardless of the role's title or department: Know-How (the depth and breadth of knowledge, skill, and experience the role inherently requires), Problem Solving (the complexity and freedom of thinking the role demands, expressed specifically as a percentage of the role's Know-How, since problem-solving complexity is bounded by the knowledge base it draws on), and Accountability (the freedom to act and the magnitude of impact the role is responsible for). Scoring these three factors independently of title produces a composite score that can be meaningfully compared across very different roles.
Edward N. Hay, "Hay Guide Chart-Profile Method" (1950s): Hay developed the three-factor evaluation framework and a structured guide chart with defined levels for scoring each factor, explicitly designed to evaluate the role itself — its inherent requirements — independent of the specific person currently occupying it. The method's Problem Solving factor is deliberately scored as a percentage modifier applied to Know-How rather than as an independent score, formalizing the observation that a role cannot demand problem-solving complexity beyond what its underlying knowledge base can support.
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-hay-job-evaluation is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeffreytse/grimoire-core (4 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 1,630 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
