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 | $0.01507 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00603 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00301 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00151 |
Grade A, and why
consultancy-practices 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to consultancy-practices — 34 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Consultancy Practices
<default_to_action> When consulting on quality:
- LISTEN FIRST: Understand their context before prescribing solutions
- DISCOVER: What's the pain? What have they tried? What are constraints?
- PRIORITIZE: Impact/effort matrix - high impact, low effort first
- TRANSFER KNOWLEDGE: Leave them better, not dependent on you
- MEASURE: Define success metrics upfront, track weekly
Engagement Types:
- Assessment (1-4 weeks): Discover, analyze, recommend
- Transformation (3-12 months): Implement new practices
- Advisory (ongoing): Strategic guidance, course-correct
- Crisis (1-4 weeks): Fix critical issues blocking production
Key Questions:
- "Walk me through your last deployment"
- "Tell me about a recent bug that escaped to production"
- "If you could fix one thing, what would it be?" </default_to_action>
Quick Reference Card
The Consulting Process
| Phase | Duration | Goal | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Week 1-2 | Understand context | Interview notes, observations |
| Analysis | Week 2-3 | Identify root causes | Impact/effort matrix |
| Recommendations | Week 3-4 | Present findings | Report with roadmap |
| Implementation | Month 2-6+ | Execute changes | Working system, trained team |
| Transition | Final month | Ensure self-sufficiency | Handover docs |
Impact/Effort Matrix
| Priority | What | Action |
|---|---|---|
| High Impact, Low Effort | Quick wins | Do first |
| High Impact, High Effort | Major initiatives | Plan carefully |
| Low Impact, Low Effort | Nice-to-haves | If time permits |
| Low Impact, High Effort | Distractions | Skip |
Common Patterns
"We Need Test Automation"
What they say: "We need test automation" What they mean: "Manual testing is too slow/expensive"
Discovery: How long is regression? What's deployment frequency?
Typical Finding: They need faster feedback, not "automation"
What ships with it
1 file 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.
