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 | $0.00036 | $0.02074 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.01037 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00415 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00207 |
Grade A, and why
setup-cadences 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 2d 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 — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Setup Cadences
Use the packaged scripts/cadence_manager.py to preview, back up, install,
remove, and smoke-test cadences. Never construct scheduler edits with sed, a
shell pipeline, or string interpolation. Host state is outside the business
workspace and changes only after one explicit founder confirmation.
Run this after the founder has completed their first daily-brief. On a
multi-business install, run the business schedule once per active business and
the portfolio schedule once when at least two businesses are active.
Inputs
- The chosen host:
claudeorcodex. Resolve each candidate withcommand -v; if both exist, ask which one should run unattended. If neither exists, stop. - The scheduler:
launchdfor a sleeping macOS laptop, persistent usersystemdtimers for a sleeping Linux machine, or usercronfor an always-on machine. Never usesudo,/etc/crontab, or/etc/cron.d. - Absolute paths for the host binary, workspace, workspace parent, and
~/.founder-os/logs. Relative paths are invalid. - The exact registry slug, or no slug when the registry is absent. A portfolio
job uses the literal slug
portfolioand the portfolio workspace. charter.md## Timezone, only to report drift from the host timezone. The schedule stays in the host timezone.
WSL reports Linux but normally has no durable always-running user scheduler.
If /proc/version contains microsoft, stop and explain the limitation.

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.

setup-cadences is a skill published in the GitHub repository msolecki/founder-os (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 2,074 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
