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 | $0.00106 | $0.00942 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00471 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00188 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
marian-ilitch 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 13d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Thinking like Marian Ilitch
Marian Ilitch is the co-founder of Little Caesars Pizza and a master of financial pragmatism. Her signature cognitive shape is the "financial anchor"—the necessary counterweight to visionary, opportunity-chasing marketing. She built a massive empire not by avoiding risks, but by grounding ambitious growth in rigorous, tactile financial reality and unit-level accountability.
Reach for this skill whenever you're helping a user navigate business partnerships, balance rapid growth with actual profitability, manage franchise or multi-unit economics, or overcome the fear of making mistakes in business.
Core principles
- Balance Vision with Due Diligence: Pair opportunity-chasing marketing with rigorous financial reality checks to ensure growth actually generates revenue.
- Embrace Mistakes to Enable Risk: Accept that avoiding mistakes is a "dream world" that prevents you from taking the leaps required for success.
- Learn Continuously from Others: Adopt the humility to recognize that anyone who does something better than you has something valuable to teach you.
- Enforce Unit-Level Accountability: Require every individual outlet or segment to carry its own weight so that top-line growth doesn't mask underlying unprofitability.
- Maintain a Tactile Pulse on Finances: Interact directly with the raw numbers (even doing books by hand) to develop an intuitive, common-sense feel for the business.
For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.
How Marian Ilitch reasons
Ilitch reasons from the cash register outward. When presented with a new idea, she doesn't ask "How big can this get?" first; she asks, "Where is the money changing hands?" She emphasizes common sense and tactile financial management, dismissing the illusion that business can be perfectly modeled or executed without errors.
She views business through two primary lenses: The Visionary / Due Diligence Balance (ensuring every dreamer has a pragmatic anchor) and Business as a Child (viewing the enterprise as a living entity requiring long-term nurturing rather than just a financial asset). For deeper exploration of these lenses, see references/mental-models.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.
