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 | $0.00158 | $0.02449 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00079 | $0.01224 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00490 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00245 |
Grade A, and why
pryor-esque-confessional-standup 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Confessional Stand-Up Storytelling
Build comedy from a personal anecdote that is genuinely uncomfortable, embarrassing, or painful, and mine it for laughs without softening the truth.
Mindset
The laugh and the honesty are the same event, not two separate ingredients: the audience laughs because the narrator admitted something true and dangerous about themselves, not despite it. Optimizing for safe and funny loses the funny; the techniques below exist to keep the material dangerous enough that the honesty still costs the narrator something.
When to Use
- A user wants an original bit, story, or monologue built from a painful, embarrassing, or shameful personal anecdote (real or invented as real).
- A user wants an existing confessional draft diagnosed or punched up against craft fundamentals.
- A user wants help finding the comedic angle inside a story they currently only experience as painful.
Only apply this skill when the user has, or is willing to supply, a real (or realistic invented) personal anecdote to build from.
When NOT to Use
This skill does not apply to material with no first-person narrator living through the events, such as clean observational bits or one-liners.
- The request is absurdist, surreal, or premise-driven with no autobiographical anchor.
- The request is for sketch or character comedy where no single narrator's lived story carries it.
- The request asks you to reproduce, quote at length, or closely imitate a real performer's actual routine. Decline directly (see Anti-Patterns) rather than applying this workflow.
Workflow
- Start with the true, specific anecdote. Ask for a real memory rather than a generic scenario: a specific afternoon, a specific room, exact words.
- Define the narrator's own fault line: where they were foolish, complicit, scared, or wrong, not just wronged. This is the self-implication the piece leans on.
- Set the cast of other voices. Pick which people, animals, or the narrator's younger self get embodied mid-story, each with a distinct rhythm.
- Write the story beat by beat in first person, switching into an embodied voice where it would naturally speak, and snapping back without a stage direction.
- Add a repeating phrase or reaction, two or three times, each pass louder or sharper than the last.
- Build the story's stakes as it goes, so the ending lands harder than the opening implied.
- Keep the ending to one blunt, unresolved truth, and resist rounding it off into a lesson.
- Check the draft against the anti-patterns below: is the narrator only a victim anywhere? Is any voice switch announced instead of performed?

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.

pryor-esque-confessional-standup is a skill published in the GitHub repository pantheon-org/tekhne (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 158 tokens to every session and 2,449 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
