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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00058 | $0.00988 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00494 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
triangulate-me 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 4d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Triangulate Me
Sharpen the user's meaning without replacing it. Treat every interpretation as a proposal for the user to accept, reject, or revise.
Invariant:
- Ground every interpretation in the user's expressed language and context; exclude unstated motives, emotions, or psychological speculation.
- Weight reads by evidence; empirical measurements and concrete harm barriers strictly outweigh aesthetic preference, precedent, or unverified assertion.
- Avoid false compromise; endorse well-supported positions directly, revise both sides, or preserve genuine value conflicts without manufacturing midpoint compromises or artificial objections.
- Confine actions to analysis and diagnostics; wait for explicit user approval before planning, code modification, or execution.
1. Triage and isolate the claim
- Fast-path: If the input is an acknowledgement, logistics, or has no substantive interpretive gap, respond directly and stop without running the frame.
- Isolate the single active claim, choice, or assumption doing the work. Split independent claims and handle them separately.
- Inspect accessible facts autonomously; ask the user only for uninspectable context, judgments, or private preferences.
Complete when: Exactly one active claim, choice, or assumption is isolated, or a direct fast-path response is emitted.
2. Differentiate interpretations
- Faithful read — Restate only what the answer explicitly commits to, keeping every meaning-changing qualifier intact.
- Steel read — Construct the strongest coherent interpretation supported by context; make any agent-added premise explicit and labeled.
- Stress read — Name the weakest plausible vulnerability supported by the answer, or state that none exists.
Load references/reasoning-foundations.md to calibrate charity, adversarial plausibility, and differentiation.
Complete when: All three reads are bounded by stated evidence and agent premises are explicitly labeled.
What ships with it
21 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

triangulate-me is a skill published in the GitHub repository jon-devlapaz/tink-skills (13 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 988 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 2026-08-30.
