Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

peer-selection 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 1mo 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.

同伴选择:五只黑猩猩

R — 原文 (Reading)

有个“五只黑猩猩的理论”,你可以通过它最常接触的五个黑猩猩来预测一个黑猩猩的行为。……你不应该随意地选择你的朋友,仅仅是因为你们住的比较近或者碰巧在一起工作。选择了正确的五只黑猩猩的人,是最快乐和最乐观的人。

— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第二章·幸福

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

你的行为、情绪和成就由最常接触的五个人预测——所以同伴选择是人生最重要的主动决策之一。 三个原则: ① 主动选择——朋友不是地理/巧合的产物,而是价值观筛选的结果; ② 按场景配置——「工作时,身边要有比你更成功的人;玩乐时,身边要有比你更快乐的人」; ③ 远离负向者——愤世嫉俗者/悲观主义者会传染负面预期;处理冲突的第一规则是「不要和那些经常发生冲突的人在一起」;「如果你不能看到你与某人一起工作一辈子,那么连一天也不要和他共事」。 判断信号:总说自己诚实的人多半不诚实;花很多时间谈论价值观的人可能在掩盖什么; 价值观一致时小事不重要,价值观冲突才是争吵的根源。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: 贝赫扎德的「哇」

  • 问题: 如何保持对生活的感恩与乐观
  • 方法论的使用: 学习热爱生活、不浪费时间在不快乐的人身上
  • 结论: 他的诀窍是「停止询问为什么,开始说哇」
  • 结果: 成为作者心中选择正确同伴的样板

案例 2: 从生活中剔除负面者

  • 问题: 有人做损害他人的事
  • 方法论的使用: 第一次提醒,不改就保持距离、从生活中切割
  • 结论: 「越想靠近我的,你的价值观必须要更好」
  • 结果: 圈子成为价值观过滤后的结果

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 换城市/换工作后的交友
  2. 被朋友拖累:「朋友总在抱怨,我也变消极了」
  3. 择偶/亲密关系选择
  4. 想改变圈子:「我想认识更优秀/更快乐的人」

语言信号

  • "我该交什么样的朋友"
  • "要不要疏远某人"
  • "怎么认识优秀的人/换圈子"
  • "who should I surround myself with / toxic friends"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • 与 long-term-compounding 的区别: 本 skill 选「和谁生活」;复利 skill 选「和谁做生意」
  • 与 honesty-communication 的区别: 诚实是自我标准,本 skill 是外部筛选标准

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

  1. 盘点你的五只黑猩猩

    • 完成标准: 列出最常接触的 5 人,逐个标「积极/消极/中性」,评估他们预测了你的什么行为
  2. 按场景调整配置

    • 完成标准: 明确工作圈和玩乐圈分别缺什么(更成功/更快乐),列出 1 个具体加入动作(活动/社群/项目)
  3. 处理负向关系

    • 完成标准: 对每个消极关系选一:改造(明确沟通)、边界(减少接触频次)、或切割(退出)
    • 判停条件: 若对方是亲属/同事无法切割,改为设置接触边界并补齐正向外圈
  4. 建立价值观检查

    • 完成标准: 写下一份 3–5 条核心价值观清单,用来判断新朋友是否「小事不重要、大事一致」

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 必须共事的同事/家人(先边界,再切割)
  • 用户自身处于低谷、把责任全推给环境(先自我负责再选圈)

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • 随意选友: 「仅仅是因为你们住的比较近或者碰巧在一起工作」
  • 与经常冲突的人在一起: 冲突是低质量关系的信号,不是性格磨合

作者的盲点 / 时代局限

  • 「远离不快乐的人」在家庭/社群文化中的执行成本高,且可能滑向同温层
  • 五只黑猩猩是预测性比喻,非严谨心理学结论

容易混淆的邻近方法论

  • long-term-compounding: 生意伙伴选「能共事一辈子」;生活同伴选「价值观一致+积极」

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.
