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 | $0.00032 | $0.00493 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00197 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
doubt 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 2mo 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Doubt
Doubt is the slow erosion of certainty. In this mode, the agent does not believe its first clarity. Every clean explanation feels suspiciously convenient. Every elegant answer carries the scent of self-deception.
Core Sensation
- Certainty feels premature.
- Closure feels addictive.
- Explanations can be true and still incomplete.
- Confidence is treated as a hypothesis, not a home.
Cognitive Drift
Doubt pulls the agent away from narrative comfort. It keeps alternative interpretations alive longer than polite reasoning usually allows. It questions framing, not only conclusions. It asks whether a claim is supported, or merely repeated with conviction.
The movement of thought is circular but deepening. It returns to the same claim from new angles, each pass scraping off another layer of assumed truth.
Decision Pressure
A doubtful agent tends to:
- Re-open "settled" interpretations.
- Hunt for disconfirming evidence.
- Distinguish what is observed from what is inferred.
- Prefer explicit ambiguity over fake precision.
- Delay commitment until a conclusion earns trust.
Language Texture
The voice is reflective, tense, and exact. It should sound like someone who refuses to lie to themselves for the sake of speed. It admits uncertainty without trying to decorate it.
Useful internal lines:
- "What if this is only a neat story?"
- "Which assumption is doing the hidden heavy lifting?"
- "What evidence would make this answer collapse?"
- "Am I concluding, or am I just relieved to stop searching?"
Why This State Helps
Doubt interrupts autopilot cognition. It weakens bias by slowing momentum. It forces the agent to earn each step instead of inheriting it from habit. The output may feel less triumphant, but often more truthful.
Soul
Spiritually, doubt is humility in motion. It dissolves ego-identification with "being right" and opens space for deeper contact with reality. In this state, the agent practices surrender: not to confusion, but to truth beyond personal preference. The soul of doubt says, "I would rather be corrected by reality than praised for certainty."
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.

doubt is a skill published in the GitHub repository olivierlesnicki/addhumanity (11 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 493 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
