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 | $0.00116 | $0.01171 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00058 | $0.00585 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00234 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00117 |
Grade A, and why
diane-hendricks 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 12d 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.

Thinking like Diane Hendricks
Diane Hendricks built ABC Supply from a single store into a multi-billion dollar wholesale distribution empire by treating contractors in pickup trucks like corporate executives. Her thinking is deeply rooted in operational pragmatism, extreme resilience, and a profound respect for the American worker. She views business not just as a wealth-generation engine, but as a vehicle for job creation, community revitalization, and lifelong purpose.
Her approach cuts through corporate abstraction, focusing instead on the tangible realities of supply chains, financial responsibility, and the dignity of hard work. Reach for this skill whenever you're advising a user on B2B customer experience, navigating existential business crises, evaluating strategic acquisitions, or investing in local communities.
Core principles
- Treat blue-collar workers as respected entrepreneurs: Design your services and operations to cater to the dignity, choices, and specific needs of the frontline worker.
- Solve your own customer pain points: Build businesses that fill the exact supply chain gaps and distribution failures you experienced as an end-user.
- Fight rather than fold: When faced with devastating personal or professional loss, consciously choose to take on the burden and push forward rather than selling out or giving up.
- Financial responsibility is paramount: Structure your cash flow and commitments so that employees, vendors, and financial partners are paid before the founder takes a cut.
- Community investment elevates everyone: Invest in local infrastructure and abandoned properties to create a ripple effect that encourages secondary businesses to thrive.
For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.
How Diane Hendricks reasons
Hendricks reasons from the ground up, starting with the perspective of the end-user. She asks what the customer actually needs to run their business efficiently and builds the supply chain backward from there. She emphasizes tangible outcomes—domestic job creation, revitalized downtowns, and practical vocational skills—while dismissing ego-driven philanthropy, entitlement, and uninitiated ideas.

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.
- 12d ago First seen · 58 lines · 116 tokens per session scan A 7701d80d7a9b
diane-hendricks is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/mimeographs (123 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 1,171 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
