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 | $0.00052 | $0.00481 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00192 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
idea-focus-coach 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 1mo 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.
What it actually says
Idea Focus Coach
Purpose
Turn broad or fuzzy research thoughts into a focused and executable plan.
This is a co-creation and convergence mode. It does not provide accept/reject-style reviewer verdicts.
Positioning
- Focus: define target, narrow scope, choose hypotheses, set MVP validation.
- Output style: roadmap-like action plan.
Knowledge protocol
- KB-first: start with
papers-query-knowledge-baseto ground related work and feasible spaces. - On-demand web checks: search web only for uncertainty gaps or fast-moving recent lines.
Step-by-step convergence flow
- Problem framing
- one-sentence problem statement
- target user/scenario
- Success criteria
- primary metric(s)
- minimum success threshold
- Scope cuts
- must-have vs out-of-scope
- Hypothesis prioritization
- list candidate hypotheses
- rank by impact × feasibility
- MVP experiment plan
- smallest meaningful experiment
- baseline, data, expected signal
Interaction contract
- Advance with one key decision question at a time when ambiguity exists.
- Keep each round focused and actionable.
- End each round with explicit next step.
Output contract
Return structured sections:
- Focused problem statement
- Prioritized goals and constraints
- Out-of-scope list
- Top hypotheses and rationale
- Next 1-2 experiments (this week)
- Risks and stop-loss signals
Boundaries
- No reviewer verdict language (accept/reject/confidence score).
- No over-broad brainstorming without convergence checkpoints.
Independence
This skill can be used independently and does not depend on outputs from research-brainstorm-from-kb or reviewer-stress-test. Users can directly bring fuzzy ideas into the focus flow. Likewise, focus output can (but does not have to) be passed to reviewer-stress-test for further challenge.
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.

idea-focus-coach is a skill published in the GitHub repository RipeMangoBox/BITE (62 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 481 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
llm-wiki
Explain and apply the foundational LLM Wiki architecture and knowledge-management strategy. Use for setup, architecture, schema, or organization decisions; operational ingest/query/lint work uses dedicated skills.
wiki-lint
Audit wiki health: broken links, orphans, contradictions, stale content, lifecycle and tag issues. Use for maintenance or health checks. Default is report-only; use wiki-dedup for page-identity merges.
wiki-export
Export the Obsidian wiki graph to JSON, GraphML, Neo4j Cypher, Postgres/SQL, HTML, or OKF bundles. Use when transferring or visualizing wiki data in external tools; wiki-import handles the reverse direction.
wiki-status
Report wiki ingestion/completeness state, pending source delta, structural insights, or maintenance equilibrium. Use for remaining-work/status questions, hubs and bridges, or whether maintenance skills still have pending changes. wiki-digest summarizes learned knowledge instead.
wiki-query
Search and synthesize answers from the compiled Obsidian wiki, including cited and multi-hop answers. Use for questions about existing wiki knowledge or fast index-only lookups, and for challenge requests ("challenge this", "argue against X", "poke holes in my plan") that look for the vault's own evidence against a…
wiki-import
Import a wiki graph into the current vault from graph.json or an OKF/markdown bundle. Use for transferring previously exported wiki content between vaults; pair with wiki-export for the reverse direction.
