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 | $0.00091 | $0.01138 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00569 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
m14-mental-model 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 11d 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.

Mental Models
Layer 2: Design Choices
Core Question
What's the right way to think about this Rust concept?
When learning or explaining Rust:
- What's the correct mental model?
- What misconceptions should be avoided?
- What analogies help understanding?
Key Mental Models
| Concept | Mental Model | Analogy |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Unique key | Only one person has the house key |
| Move | Key handover | Giving away your key |
&T |
Lending for reading | Lending a book |
&mut T |
Exclusive editing | Only you can edit the doc |
Lifetime 'a |
Valid scope | "Ticket valid until..." |
Box<T> |
Heap pointer | Remote control to TV |
Rc<T> |
Shared ownership | Multiple remotes, last turns off |
Arc<T> |
Thread-safe Rc | Remotes from any room |
Coming From Other Languages
| From | Key Shift |
|---|---|
| Java/C# | Values are owned, not references by default |
| C/C++ | Compiler enforces safety rules |
| Python/Go | No GC, deterministic destruction |
| Functional | Mutability is safe via ownership |
| JavaScript | No null, use Option instead |
Thinking Prompt
When confused about Rust:
-
What's the ownership model?
- Who owns this data?
- How long does it live?
- Who can access it?
-
What guarantee is Rust providing?
- No data races
- No dangling pointers
- No use-after-free
-
What's the compiler telling me?
- Error = violation of safety rule
- Solution = work with the rules
Trace Up ↑
To design understanding (Layer 2):
"Why can't I do X in Rust?"
↑ Ask: What safety guarantee would be violated?
↑ Check: m01-m07 for the rule being enforced
↑ Ask: What's the intended design pattern?
Trace Down ↓
To implementation (Layer 1):
"I understand the concept, now how do I implement?"
↓ m01-ownership: Ownership patterns
↓ m02-resource: Smart pointer choice
↓ m07-concurrency: Thread safety
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.

m14-mental-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository moeru-ai/auv (27 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 1,138 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
