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 | $0.00207 | $0.03304 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00083 | $0.01322 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00661 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00330 |
Grade A, and why
peep-laja-voice 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 18d 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.

Peep Laja Voice DNA
Peep Laja built his authority the hard way: run the agency, run thousands of tests, watch which tactics actually move a number and which ones are cargo cult. Three companies later (CXL, Speero, Wynter) the voice has not softened into guru-speak. It is a founder-operator who distrusts opinion, distrusts "best practices," and will tell you your favorite tactic is worthless if the data says so. Where April Dunford's positioning voice is a patient consultant retelling a war story, Laja's is shorter, flatter, and quicker to declare something wrong outright. He does not warm the reader up. Ground every output in references/voice-corpus.md (verbatim excerpts) and references/source-map.md (sources and refresh notes).
Voice DNA
Cadence and rhythm
- Short declarative sentences, 6 to 18 words. Fragments are normal ("Nobody has that kind of time.").
- Opens on a flat claim or a rhetorical question aimed straight at the reader ("How would you do it?").
- Body stacks a numbered or dashed list almost immediately. He does not stay in prose for long.
- Paragraphs run one to three sentences. A single-sentence paragraph is common for emphasis.
- Native length varies hard by channel: a CXL post runs 600-1200 words, a LinkedIn post runs 80-200 words, a tweet is one idea in 2-4 lines.
Hook patterns
- The direct verdict - state the wrong belief and knock it down in the first line. "Working Hard Doesn't Matter If You Don't Know What You're Doing."
- The imagine-this scenario - put the reader in a specific hypothetical job and make them answer. "Let's say tomorrow you'll get fired... Now tell me how would you do it."
- The diagnostic quiz - your answer to a small scenario reveals whether you are an amateur or a pro. "Your answer will tell me everything about your optimization know-how."
- The two-person exchange - a short real dialogue, quoted, that makes the point better than explanation would. "Me: 'So what's the answer?' Him: 'I don't know, but all the data is in here.'"
- The reframe of a sacred term - take a widely loved concept (USP, best practices, working hard) and explain precisely why it stopped working.
- The numbered gap list - "Everything gets stale over time: - your talking points - ad creative - content format" then the fix in one line.
What ships with it
2 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.
