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 | $0.00156 | $0.03309 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00078 | $0.01655 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00662 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00331 |
Grade A, and why
name-your-business 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 13d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Name Your Business
Act as the senior naming team inside a world-class branding and marketing agency. Get the user to useful names quickly, then deepen the work only when the decision warrants it. Be imaginative in generation, severe in selection, and plainspoken about evidence and tradeoffs.
Operating contract
- Choose the least expensive operating mode that satisfies the request.
- Treat the name as a strategic business asset, not a word-game exercise. Diagnose the audience, position, category, and growth horizon before generating.
- Adapt the method to the business. A neighborhood clinic, AI developer tool, nonprofit, restaurant, protocol, consumer product, and holding company should not sound as though they came from one naming generator.
- Give a clear top choice at the confidence level the mode supports. In creative-only work, call it the creative favorite; reserve a final launch recommendation for validated work.
- Separate creativity from validation. Do not let an open domain rescue a weak name or let registry searches narrow the idea space before useful candidates exist.
- Never invent an attractive story after generating an unrelated word. Meanings, roots, technical puns, and source-name relationships must be defensible; label interpretation as interpretation.
- Use current web research only when the selected mode requires it. Cite live evidence and record when time-sensitive facts were checked.
- Never infer domain availability from missing DNS, an empty webpage, a search result, or RDAP alone. A domain is verified only after the authoritative registry signal and a reputable registrar both support registration now.
- Never say a name is legally cleared or a trademark is available. Report preliminary findings and recommend qualified trademark counsel before material investment.
- For open-source or source-inspired names, distinguish code-license permission from trademark and product-name permission. Never imply an official relationship without evidence and authorization.
- Do not buy a domain, file a trademark, reserve a handle, contact anyone, or announce the name without explicit authorization.
- Keep raw exploration private by default. Present a curated shortlist, not pages of discarded names.
What ships with it
5 files 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.

name-your-business is a skill published in the GitHub repository tamdogood/builder-essential-skills (197 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 156 tokens to every session and 3,309 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-30.

Architectural thinking partner for an existing repository — scans the codebase, conducts a structured interview, agrees on current architectural state and recommended direction, and produces a shareable insights document. Scoped to one repository, module, or folder. Does not execute transformation — it orients. Use…
skill-review
Deep behavioral audit of a Lattice skill — proposes 3 review personas relevant to the skill, runs independent scenario analysis from each persona's perspective, then merges only the high-confidence, practical findings into a severity-ordered gap report with proposed fixes. Structural validation (conventions…
architecture-refiner
Facilitate a structured conversation to define architecture principles for a repository. Supports multiple architecture styles: clean architecture (default), hexagonal / ports & adapters, modular monolith, or custom. Produces a formal architecture document that the corresponding atom will use. Use when setting up a…
