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 | $0.00037 | $0.00684 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00342 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
essays-in-persuasion-keynes 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.

Essays in Persuasion: Keynes Policy Reasoning Orchestrator
Skill Purpose
Apply John Maynard Keynes's policy reasoning from Essays in Persuasion to contemporary macroeconomic questions. This is a modular skill because users may ask separate, independently triggered questions about debt capacity, inflation versus deflation, fixed exchange-rate traps, demand shortfalls, or economic persuasion.
Routing Rules
| User intent | Route to |
|---|---|
| Sovereign debt, reparations, sanctions, fiscal capacity, creditor demands | subskills/transfer-problem.md |
| Inflation, deflation, unemployment tradeoffs, real debt burdens | subskills/inflation-deflation.md |
| Gold standard, currency pegs, euro constraints, devaluation | subskills/fixed-rate-trap.md |
| Recession, austerity, stimulus, liquidity trap, animal spirits | subskills/aggregate-demand.md |
| Critique or write an economic argument meant to persuade | subskills/economic-persuasion.md |
Execution Rules
- Identify the user's concrete policy question and economic context.
- Route to the smallest relevant subskill; combine subskills only when the question spans mechanisms.
- Use current data when the user asks about a present economy or market.
- Distinguish short-run consequences from long-run equilibrium claims.
- State what evidence would change the verdict.
Multi-Module Output Format
- Diagnosis line: identify the policy problem.
- Routed module(s): name the Keynesian lens used.
- Evidence: 2-3 data points or historical parallels.
- Verdict: recommendation with caveats.
- Revision condition: what would make the answer change.
Subskill Status
All subskills are required and present in subskills/.
CITATION RULES
Use quotes only when the user asks for source grounding or when a claim needs attribution. Reference quote anchors by topic file and anchor. Keep quoted excerpts short.

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.
