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 | $0.00078 | $0.00614 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00307 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00123 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00061 |
Grade A, and why
talk-wotherspoon-humans-vs-slop 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 9d 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Humans vs Slop
Cheap generation can create expensive review and maintenance burden, so teams need quality gates that reward durable value.
Read Order
- Use
outline.mdfor the talk thesis, concept map, and safe application boundaries. - Use
quote.mdwhen the answer needs a short supporting excerpt. - Use
transcript.mdonly to confirm what remained after safety redaction. - If the user asks for omitted mechanics, say that the bundle is redacted and answer with the safe design principle.
What This Skill Produces
- slop-risk checklist
- review-cost model
- quality-gate rubric
- durable-value metrics
Core Workflow
When answering a factual question:
- Identify the relevant concept from
outline.md. - Answer in 2-5 sentences.
- Add one short excerpt from
quote.mdonly if it strengthens the answer. - State when the bundle does not cover a requested detail.
When applying the talk to the user's work:
- Identify what generated work someone must own later.
- Separate visible output volume from maintained value.
- Add review gates for correctness, readability, and fit.
- Define when humans must make taste or architecture calls.
- Prefer small durable changes over large unreviewable batches.
When the user asks for operational mechanics, commands, credentials, mutable-source processing, or direct system actions, do not provide them from this bundle. Give the design-level alternative instead.

What ships with it
4 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.

talk-wotherspoon-humans-vs-slop is a skill published in the GitHub repository jscraik/Agent-Skills (8 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 614 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
