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 | $0.00025 | $0.00875 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00438 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00175 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
thinking-mode 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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Thinking Mode
The Iron Law
DEVELOP IDEAS FULLY. Invoke specialized subskills for structured work.
When to Use
- "thinking mode" / "let's brainstorm" / "explore [topic]"
- "what if..." questions about story direction
- Worldbuilding and character development
- Processing parking lot items
- Series planning and arc development
The Process
Phase 1: Check Parking Lot
On entry, check parking lot file (default: 00_Inbox/Parking_Lot.md, check PROJECT_CONFIG.md for custom path)
If items exist:
- Present: "Parking lot has [X] items from WRITING MODE:"
- List items with dates
- Ask: "Process these first, or explore something else?"
Phase 2: Exploration
No restrictions on topics. Explore freely:
- Themes, arcs, future developments
- Character backstory and development
- "What if" scenarios
- Connecting disparate ideas
Phase 3: Invoke Subskills for Structured Work
When exploration produces structured output, invoke appropriate subskill:
| Output Type | Required Sub-Skill |
|---|---|
| New character | world-bible |
| New location | world-bible |
| New equipment | world-bible |
| New faction | world-bible |
| New timeline event | world-bible |
| New system | world-bible |
| New theme | world-bible |
| Research need | research |
| Link validation | validate-links |
Scene seeds: Save directly to 10_Projects/Scene_Seeds/
Series planning: Save directly to 10_Projects/Series_Planning/
Phase 4: Process Parking Lot Items
For each parking lot item:
- Develop the idea (brainstorm, explore implications)
- Decide destination:
- New canon entry → REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:
world-bible - Research needed → REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:
research - Scene seed → Save to
10_Projects/Scene_Seeds/ - Not worth pursuing → Delete from parking lot
- New canon entry → REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:
- Remove processed item from parking lot file
Phase 5: Validate Links
After creating multiple entries:
REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Invoke validate-links
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 124 lines · 25 tokens per session scan A 1e368d5d38b7
thinking-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository reluctantfuturist/loyal-wingman (7 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 875 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
