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 | $0.00126 | $0.02430 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.01215 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00486 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00243 |
Grade A, and why
think-contradiction-tension-mapping 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Contradiction / Tension Mapping
Some tensions are not problems with a right answer; they are permanent, interdependent pairs of opposites - both true, both necessary - where over-committing to one pole eventually summons the downside of having abandoned the other. Treating such a tension as a problem to solve produces the destructive pendulum: this year centralize to fix the chaos, next year decentralize to fix the bottleneck, repeat. Contradiction / tension mapping refuses that reflex. It names the two interdependent poles, fills the upside and downside quadrant of each, anchors them with a shared greater purpose (the why that makes holding both worthwhile) and a deeper fear (the loss of getting the downside of both), and finishes with early-warning signs of over-leaning into one pole and action steps that pull back toward the neglected one before its downside bites. The durable move is its terminal stance: it deliberately does not resolve, dissolve, choose, or synthesize the tension - it builds a structure for staying in the productive upper half of both poles over time, oscillating deliberately rather than lurching. The output is a both/and polarity map, not prose. The operational tool is Barry Johnson's Polarity Map; this skill implements the de-branded mechanism (see Evidence for attribution).
When to Use
- A tension is genuinely chronic and interdependent, and the organization keeps oscillating destructively because it treats each swing as a problem to solve (the pendulum: centralize then decentralize then centralize again).
- A real disagreement has been smoothed into a bland compromise that gets the downside of both poles (the false-consensus trap).
- Two camps each defend one pole and treat the other as the enemy, and a clean decision for either side would be a category error (the values clash).
- Each pole genuinely depends on the other - you cannot have all of one with no cost to the other - and the value is in managing the ongoing oscillation, not ending it.
What ships with it
5 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.

think-contradiction-tension-mapping is a skill published in the GitHub repository product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills (15 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 2,430 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
