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 | $0.00060 | $0.00799 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00320 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00160 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
value-prop-and-positioning 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 24d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Value prop and positioning
Explain why a defined buyer would choose this offer over a credible alternative, using differences the evidence supports.
The alternative that matters most is often no change: the spreadsheet, the manual workaround, the in-house tool they already paid for.
Alternative. "Ops VPs keep the spreadsheet because it is already in the Friday review. We win when missed handoffs have a named cost and a named owner. We lose when the pain is 'it would be nicer to have a system.'"
Slogan. "The AI-powered platform of record for modern operations teams."
If you cannot name what the buyer would do instead, you do not have positioning yet.
Inputs
Reuse supplied context first. If a missing company fact would change the result, check the relevant sections of .enablement/context.md when available. Preserve source dates and approval limits.
Ask only for what changes the thesis:
- Who is buying, and what job they are trying to finish
- What they use or consider instead, including no change
- The capability that is actually different, and how it produces an outcome
- Approved proof and claim limits
Do not turn an unverified hypothesis into an external outcome claim.
Supporting material
Read references/positioning-canvas.md for thesis modes, the alternatives map, and the differentiation chain. Skip it if the user already has a canvas and only wants a rewrite.
Procedure
- Name the buyer task. Trigger, progress sought, current approach, decision criteria, cost of staying put. Done when you can say why this is a decision, not a feature launch.
- Map real alternatives. Only options there is evidence for. Include no change. Do not invent a competitor set to fill a table.
- Build the differentiation chain. Capability, mechanism, buyer outcome, proof. Drop claims that are only different in wording. "AI-powered" and "easy" are not chains.
- Choose a thesis mode. Evidence-backed, product-demonstrable without an outcome claim, or internal hypothesis with no external use. Write only the pillars that mode can support.
- Translate by decision role. Change the task, criterion, outcome, proof, and risk, not just the vocabulary.
- Add why-now only when a real trigger, cost of delay, or decision window exists.
- State who this is not for, and which claims you cannot support.
What ships with it
2 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.

value-prop-and-positioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository nthnclrk/enablement-skills (16 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 799 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
