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 | $0.00027 | $0.01087 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00435 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00217 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
design-organizational-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 1mo 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Design Organizational Structure
Design an organizational structure that aligns authority, accountability, and coordination mechanisms with strategic priorities.
Why This Is Best Practice
Adopted by: McKinsey & Company, Bain, Deloitte, and enterprises undergoing growth-stage or strategic restructuring Impact: Galbraith research shows misaligned org structures cause 30–50% productivity loss through coordination overhead. McKinsey data shows organizations that realign structure to strategy see 20–30% faster execution on strategic initiatives. Mintzberg demonstrated that structure misaligned to context causes systematic dysfunction regardless of individual talent. Why best: Structure is not neutral — it determines information flow, decision speed, collaboration patterns, and what behaviors get rewarded. Deliberate structure design produces outcomes; default structure produces the org chart equivalent of technical debt.

Steps
-
Start with strategy, not structure — identify the organization's primary source of competitive advantage: product innovation, operational efficiency, customer intimacy, or geographic expansion. Structure must enable the strategy; not the reverse.
-
Audit the current state — map the current org chart, decision rights (RACI or DACI), and coordination mechanisms. Identify structural pain points: decision bottlenecks, duplication of effort, chronic cross-team friction, unclear accountability.
-
Select the primary structural dimension — choose one primary axis: (a) functional (by discipline: engineering, sales, finance), (b) product/BU (by product line or business unit), (c) geographic (by region), or (d) matrix (dual reporting on two axes). The primary dimension reflects the most critical coordination requirement.
-
Design for key cross-cutting needs — identify the 2–3 coordination challenges that the primary structure creates. Design secondary mechanisms: shared services, communities of practice, cross-functional teams, integration roles, or overlay processes.
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.

design-organizational-structure is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeffreytse/grimoire-core (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,087 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
