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 | $0.00028 | $0.02200 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01100 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00440 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00220 |
Grade A, and why
managing-imposter-syndrome 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.

Managing Imposter Syndrome
Scope
Covers
- Identifying your imposter “episodes” (triggers → thoughts → feelings → behaviors) and the costs they create
- Reframing imposter feelings as a normal signal of growth when you’re stretching (not proof you’re a fraud)
- Separating confidence gaps (perception) from competence gaps (skills) and choosing the right response
- Building an evidence bank (“receipts”) to calibrate self-assessment and reduce distorted thinking
- Designing a short experiment plan to act despite doubt (feedback asks, exposure ladder, small deliveries)
- Creating a support plan (manager/mentor/peer scripts) and a maintenance routine to prevent relapse
When to use
- “I feel like a fraud at work even though I’m performing.”
- “I’m starting a new role / leading a bigger scope and my self-doubt is spiking.”
- “I avoid visibility (speaking up, shipping, applying) because I’m scared I’ll be exposed.”
- “I want a structured plan to manage imposter syndrome, not generic reassurance.”
When NOT to use
- Your real need is a promotion case with evidence and manager alignment — use
building-a-promotion-case(this pack manages the self-doubt, not the promo mechanics) - You are exhausted and need to redesign your week for energy — use
energy-management(imposter syndrome and burnout overlap, but the interventions differ) - You want to coach a report through imposter feelings — use
coaching-pmsfor the coaching framework; this pack is for the person experiencing it - You want to find mentors/sponsors to support your growth — use
finding-mentors-sponsors(this pack includes support scripts but not the full relationship-building workflow) - You are in (or at risk of) self-harm, suicidal ideation, or a mental health crisis (seek urgent professional help; this skill is not a substitute for care)
- Your core issue is primarily clinical anxiety/depression, trauma, or substance use (get professional support; this can complement but not replace it)
- You need legal/HR guidance for harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or workplace investigation processes
- You have an objective skill gap that requires training/certification (use this skill only as a support layer alongside a skills plan)

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.
