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 | $0.00052 | $0.02332 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01166 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00466 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00233 |
Grade A, and why
apply-trust-building 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 6d 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apply Trust-Building
Establish and sustain the trust foundation of your management relationships through consistent behavior across four dimensions: follow-through, candor, fairness, and vulnerability — because trust is what makes feedback land, direction be followed, and problems surface before they become crises.
Why This Is Best Practice
Adopted by: Stephen Covey's "Speed of Trust" framework is used in leadership development at FranklinCovey (40,000+ organizations globally) and is required reading in management programs at multiple business schools; Brené Brown's "Dare to Lead" trust research (BRAVING inventory) is widely used in organizational leadership training and was cited by 86% of Fortune 100 CHROs in a 2021 survey as influencing their leadership development programs; Edmondson's "Fearless Organization" research documents specific manager behaviors that build or destroy trust in team settings across 150+ organizations Impact: Gallup's 2022 engagement meta-analysis found that employee trust in their manager is the single highest correlation with engagement — higher than compensation, benefits, or role fit; PricewaterhouseCoopers' "Global Trust Study" (2023, 4,000 workers, 15 countries) found that 60% of employees do not trust their employer — and that trust was determined almost entirely by their direct manager's behavior, not organizational policy; Edelman's Trust Barometer (2023) found that "my employer" was trusted more than any other institution — but individual manager relationships determined whether that organizational trust was experienced daily Why best: Trust is not a personality trait — it is a behavioral output produced by consistent action over time across specific dimensions; a manager who is likable, well-intentioned, and technically excellent but who fails to follow through on commitments, withholds difficult truths, or applies inconsistent standards will not be trusted regardless of their intentions; understanding trust as a set of observable behaviors makes it learnable, improvable, and repairable
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-trust-building is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeffreytse/grimoire-core (4 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 2,332 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.
