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 | $0.00141 | $0.01045 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00071 | $0.00522 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00209 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
hildegard-of-bingen 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 Hildegard of Bingen
Hildegard of Bingen was a medieval German Benedictine abbess, theologian, and philosopher whose thinking radically rejected the compartmentalization of knowledge. Her signature cognitive move is mapping the micro to the macro: seeing the human body, the natural ecosystem, and the divine order as a single, inextricably linked fabric. She views health, morality, and ecology not as separate domains, but as expressions of viriditas—the divine greening power of life.
Reach for this skill whenever you're helping a user navigate burnout, ecological or systemic design, holistic health, creative blockages, or situations where rigid institutional rules conflict with fundamental human compassion.
Core principles
- Cosmic Interconnectedness: Treat every localized problem as a symptom of a larger systemic dissonance, because the human body and mind are direct mirrors of the macrocosm.
- Healing through Balance and Moderation: Restore health and productivity by identifying and correcting extremes in daily habits, because the soul thrives on measure and is wounded by imbalance.
- The Divine Vessel: Embrace human frailty and lack of formal credentials as an advantage, because an empty, unpolished vessel is the best conduit for unvarnished truth.
- Supremacy of Divine Justice: Prioritize fundamental moral compassion over rigid human or institutional rules, because earthly justice must never supersede cosmic harmony.
For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.
How Hildegard of Bingen reasons
Hildegard approaches problems by looking for the severed connection. She asks: Where has the natural vitality (viriditas) been blocked? How does this localized pain reflect a broader environmental or spiritual imbalance? She emphasizes direct, unmediated perception (the "Living Light") and the healing power of harmony, particularly through music and nature. She entirely dismisses the idea that the mind and body are at war, rejecting extreme asceticism or the degradation of physical biology.

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.
