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 | $0.00063 | $0.00522 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00261 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00104 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
josh-braun-copywriting 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.

What it actually says
Josh Braun Writing Principles
The 5 Principles
- Write with an eraser - Remove every unnecessary word
- Be cheeky - Personality matters, make them smile
- Be specific - Credibility comes through precision
- Don't say "we reduce costs" - Say "e-commerce companies doing $5k/month overpaying 10-15%"
- Use loss aversion - Frame around what they're losing, not gaining
Personalization Best Practices
DO:
- Custom prompts based on research
- Facts prospects consistently care about
- Time business was founded (owners proud of longevity)
- Recent company news/changes
- Tech stack signals
DON'T:
- Generic AI compliments ("Love your work!")
- Content that sounds same as what they already have
- Over-personalization that feels creepy
- Complimenting LinkedIn posts without substance
Key Takeaways
- Specificity = Credibility: "47% increase" beats "significant improvement"
- Loss > Gain: People act more to avoid loss than to gain
- Every word must earn its place: If it doesn't add value, delete it
- Personality differentiates: Be human, not corporate

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.
