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 | $0.00223 | $0.06314 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00112 | $0.03157 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.01263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00631 |
Grade A, and why
unmet-need-mining 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 8d 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.

Skill: Unmet Need Mining (Indie Hacker / Bootstrap Edition)
Purpose
Systematic discovery of bootstrap-scale product opportunities by lurking where target users complain in public — Reddit, app store reviews, Trustpilot, G2, niche forums, Twitter/X, Hacker News, YouTube comments, Indie Hackers, Discord and Slack communities.
The goal is to turn raw, scattered complaints into qualified wedge hypotheses sized for a one-person or small team — without having to interview anyone yet.
This skill is optimized for two tracks. VC-scale ideas are explicitly out of scope (see Anti-Patterns).
Track A — B2B Micro-SaaS
- Pricing: $50–$500/mo per customer
- Target customer count: 100–1,500 paying customers
- Ramen-profitable at: ~$10k MRR (≈100 customers @ $100/mo)
- Calm Company territory: $50k–$200k MRR ($600k–$2.4M ARR)
- Patrick McKenzie (patio11): "Boring B2B SaaS is undervalued — charge more for vertical pain."
- Examples in spirit: ConvertKit (creators), Bannerbear (image automation API), SavvyCal (scheduling), Drip in early days (DTC email), Wave Accounting in early days (SMB books)
Track B — Prosumer One-Person Tools
- Pricing: $10–$50/mo subscription, or $20–$200 one-time
- Target customer count: 500–10,000 paying customers
- Ramen-profitable at: ~$5k MRR (≈250 customers @ $20/mo)
- Pieter Levels territory: $20k–$100k MRR
- Examples in spirit: DevUtils.app (Tony Dinh — Mac dev utilities), NomadList / RemoteOK (Pieter Levels), CleanShot X, niche Chrome extensions, focused iOS utilities

What ships with it
3 files 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.

unmet-need-mining is a skill published in the GitHub repository no-session/claude-code-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 223 tokens to every session and 6,314 once invoked, about $0.0011 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.
