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 | $0.00089 | $0.03902 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.01561 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00780 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00390 |
Grade A, and why
elevator-pitch-techniques 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 449 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Elevator pitch techniques
Quick reference for crafting verbal brand summaries that sound natural when spoken, using methodologies from pitch coaches and brand strategists.
"The goal of an elevator pitch is not to close a deal but to spark enough interest for a follow-up conversation."
Foundational statistics
| Metric | Value | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Average attention span | 8 seconds | Your hook must land immediately |
| Expected iterations | 20+ | Refinement is normal, not failure |
| First version quality | 8-10% | You're only this far toward perfection |
| Success metric | "Tell me more" | The only reaction that matters |
The 6 core frameworks
1. StoryBrand Framework (SB7): Donald Miller
Core Principle: "Your business is not the hero of your brand story. Your customer is."
| Step | Element | Question |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Character | What does your customer want? |
| 2 | Problem | What problem stands in their way? (External, internal, philosophical) |
| 3 | Guide | How does your brand act as their guide? |
| 4 | Plan | What steps do they need to follow? |
| 5 | Call to Action | What action should they take? |
| 6 | Success | What success will they achieve? |
| 7 | Failure | What failure do you help them avoid? |
Template:
"For [target customer] who [has this problem], [your brand] helps you [achieve desired outcome] by [your unique approach]. Unlike [alternatives], we [key differentiator]."
When to Use: Customer transformation is central to brand story.
2. Sparkline Framework: Nancy Duarte
Core Principle: Great communicators create tension by contrasting "what is" with "what could be."
The Process:
- Start with "What Is", the current painful reality
- Contrast with "What Could Be", the better future
- Alternate between the two throughout your pitch
- End with "New Bliss", the transformed state
Application:
- What Is: "Competition is becoming more ferocious..."
- What Could Be: "...but we can disrupt that competition with a new approach."
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
