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 | $0.00026 | $0.02250 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01125 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00450 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00225 |
Grade A, and why
finding-mentors-sponsors 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.

Finding Mentors & Sponsors
Scope
Covers
- Clarifying what you actually need: mentor (advice) vs sponsor (bets political capital)
- Building a portfolio of mentors (not “one perfect oracle”)
- Identifying and prioritizing potential mentors/sponsors (internal + external) with a warm-path plan
- Writing outreach messages that are honest, specific, and easy to say yes/no to
- Running high-signal first conversations (agenda, questions, close, follow-up)
- Turning conversations into an operating system (cadence + value exchange + tracking)
- Optional: evaluating and selecting a career coach (interview multiple; pick for fit)
When to use
- “Help me find a mentor.”
- “I need a sponsor / advocate at work.”
- “Write outreach messages to reach out to potential mentors.”
- “How do I ask for mentorship without being awkward?”
- “I need a system to build relationships and get guidance for my career.”
When NOT to use
- You already have sponsors and need to build a promotion packet — use
building-a-promotion-case(this pack builds the network; that pack uses it for a promo push) - You want to improve your relationship with your current manager (not find new mentors) — use
managing-up - You are planning a career pivot and need a transition roadmap — use
career-transitions(this pack can complement it for networking, but the decision framework lives there) - You need a PM coaching framework for your reports — use
coaching-pms - You need therapy/mental-health support (use a licensed professional)
- You’re in an HR/performance escalation (PIP/investigation) where advice could be sensitive — follow the formal process first
- You only want a resume/LinkedIn rewrite (use a resume/job-search workflow)
- You want spammy mass outreach or “growth hacking” people — this pack assumes respectful, relationship-based asks
Inputs
Minimum required
- Your current role/level + domain (e.g., “PM in B2B SaaS, 5 years experience”)
- The outcome you want in the next 3–6 months (promotion readiness, leadership growth, domain mastery, etc.)
- 2–4 skill gaps or problems you want help with
- Your constraints (time per week, confidentiality, internal vs external, comfort with outreach)
- Your current network starting point (at least 5 names or communities, even if weak ties)

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.
