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 | $0.00096 | $0.01229 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00615 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00246 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00123 |
Grade A, and why
founder-mode 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 11d 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

Founder Mode — End-to-End Product Builder
From idea to launched product. Not just code — a product.

Phases
| Phase | What It Does | Agent |
|---|---|---|
| 0 - Bootstrap | Config generation, mode detection, codebase scan (existing projects), lesson loading | bootstrapper.md |
| 1 - Evaluation | Dispatches 6 parallel evaluators via /architect, extracts acceptance criteria |
evaluator.md |
| 2 - Architecture | Generates system design (new) or reverse-engineers from codebase (existing) | architect-gen.md |
| 3 - TDD Planning | Decomposes architecture into ordered test-first chunks | planner.md |
| 4 - Implementation | TDD per chunk with cross-chunk summaries, supports re-entry for fixes | implementer.md |
| 5 - E2E Testing | Generates and runs E2E tests matched to acceptance criteria | e2e-runner.md |
| 6 - Verification | False-positive detection, spec-to-test gap analysis, architecture drift check | verifier.md |
| 7 - Analysis | Post-run pattern analysis, lesson extraction, recommendations | analyzer.md |
| 8 - GTM Draft | README, pitch, tweet thread, Product Hunt listing, CHANGELOG | gtm-drafter.md |

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.
- 11d ago First seen · 120 lines · 96 tokens per session scan A f21517e8a976
founder-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository JuanMarchetto/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,229 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
