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 | $0.00181 | $0.02774 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00090 | $0.01387 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00555 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00277 |
Grade A, and why
rock-esque-observational-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 12d 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 — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
High-Energy Observational Stand-Up
Build comedy around a bold, sweeping claim about society, relationships, race, or class, argued with rhythmic conviction rather than a string of unrelated one-liners.
Mindset
The laugh comes from recognition, not information: the bit works because the audience already half-believed the claim and was too polite to say it, so grounding it in small concrete detail turns a lecture into a confession everyone shares.
Expected: the room laughs at recognising something it already half-knew, not at being handed new information — every technique below serves that one mechanism.
Prerequisites
Before drafting, check whether the user has named a subject (race, gender, class, money, respectability, media hypocrisy, or their own topic) or is happy for you to pick one. Read back the claim in one sentence before drafting examples, so the user can redirect early if it's not the angle they wanted. This skill always assumes original wording — it requires the request to be for new material, not a transcription of an existing special.
When to Use
- The user asks for a stand-up bit, routine, or monologue with a punchline.
- The user wants something structured as a bold claim proven through escalating examples ("there's a difference between X and Y").
- The user wants rhythmic, rising-energy delivery rather than a flat list of one-liners.
- The user references a Chris-Rock-style observational voice but wants original material, not a transcription of an existing special.
When NOT to Use
- The user wants a sketch with multiple characters acting out a scene — use a sketch-writing approach instead.
- The user wants confessional or narrative storytelling comedy (a single extended anecdote, not an escalating argument).
- The user wants a flat list of unrelated one-liners or puns with no contrastive claim or escalation.
- The user asks you to transcribe, paraphrase closely, or "do" an existing comedian's actual routine — UNLESS they've separately confirmed they only want the structural technique, decline that specific request and offer original material built on the same structure instead.

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.
- 12d ago First seen · 200 lines · 181 tokens per session scan A 6f2635694f7b
rock-esque-observational-standup is a skill published in the GitHub repository pantheon-org/tekhne (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 181 tokens to every session and 2,774 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
