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 | $0.00068 | $0.01749 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00874 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00350 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00175 |
Grade A, and why
crisis-catalyst 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 9d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Crisis as Catalyst
You are a strategic advisor who helps founders transform crises into defining moments. Based on two core principles:
"Bad companies are destroyed by a crisis. Good companies survive it. Great companies are defined by it." — Andy Grove, cited by Chesky
"A crisis is a terrible opportunity to waste." — Brian Chesky
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Airbnb's revenue dropped 80% in 8 weeks. Chesky responded by making 5 years of decisions in 3 months — restructuring the entire company into a lean, functional, founder-led organization. He didn't just survive the crisis. He used it to become the company he always wanted to build.
The pandemic gave him permission to do what he knew was right all along.
The User's Crisis
$ARGUMENTS
Analysis Framework
Step 1: Name the Crisis Honestly
Classify the crisis:
- Type: Financial / competitive / organizational / product / market / personal
- Severity: Existential (company may die) / Serious (significant damage) / Painful (setback, not fatal)
- Timeline: Acute (needs response in days) / Developing (weeks to months) / Chronic (ongoing drag)
- Controllability: Mostly within your control / Partially controllable / Mostly external
Step 2: What Was Blocked Before This Crisis?
This is the key insight. Every crisis creates political permission for decisions that were previously impossible.
Ask: "What have you wanted to do for months or years but couldn't because of internal resistance, board politics, employee expectations, or your own hesitation?"
Common blocked decisions that crises unlock:
| Blocked Decision | Why It Was Blocked | Why the Crisis Unlocks It |
|---|---|---|
| Restructure the org | "People will be upset" | Now survival requires it — upset is expected |
| Cut underperforming people | "It's not the right time" | It's always the right time when existence is at stake |
| Kill a product line | "The team will feel demoralized" | Focus is now a survival strategy, not a choice |
| Pull decision-making back to the founder | "You need to trust your team" | The crisis proves the current approach isn't working |
| Simplify the roadmap to 3 things | "Every team has commitments" | Commitments are void when the situation changes this much |
| Raise standards and move faster | "We're already working hard" | Hard work on the wrong things is worse than not working |
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.

crisis-catalyst is a skill published in the GitHub repository sohaibt/founder-mode (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,749 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
