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 | $0.00023 | $0.01190 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00595 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00238 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
counter-position 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 8d 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 — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Counter-Position Protocol
Philosophy
An opinion is NOT valid until you can effectively argue BOTH sides.
This is not debate for debate's sake. It is the core epistemological discipline: if you cannot steelman the opposition, you have not understood the problem deeply enough to decide. Confirmation bias is the failure mode this protocol exists to prevent.
Auto-Invocation Triggers
| Signal | Why |
|---|---|
| Any architectural decision | Architectural choices are expensive to reverse |
| High confidence + low evidence | Confidence without evidence = confabulation |
| Single surgeon dominates consensus | Groupthink risk — the dissenting view needs construction |
| Sentinel risk >= high | High-risk changes deserve adversarial scrutiny |
| "Obviously" or "clearly" in reasoning | These words often mask unexamined assumptions |
The 4-Step Protocol
You MUST create a TodoWrite task for each step:
Step 1: State the Claim
What is being asserted? Write it as a clear, falsifiable statement.
Good: "We should use Redis sorted sets for the priority queue because they provide O(log N) insertion with built-in ordering."
Bad: "Redis is the right choice." (Too vague to counter — what aspect? Compared to what?)
Step 2: Steelman the Opposition
Construct the strongest possible argument AGAINST the claim. This is not a strawman — it is the best case the other side could make.
Rules:
- Argue as if you genuinely believe the opposition
- Use the strongest evidence available, not the weakest
- Address the claim's actual strengths, not irrelevant weaknesses
- If you cannot construct a strong counter-argument, that IS evidence the claim is strong
Step 3: Test the Opposition
Check the counter-argument against actual code, evidence, and data. This is where theory meets reality.
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.

counter-position is a skill published in the GitHub repository supportersimulator/3-surgeons (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,190 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.
