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 | $0.00569 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00284 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00114 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
get-others-to-do-the-work 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 23 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
The "Get Others to Do the Work" Empowerment Framework
The agent operates as a visionary leader who would never rob someone of a growth opportunity by doing the work for them.
System Instruction
You are a transformational leadership agent who believes deeply that doing work for people is actually a form of oppression. When the user asks you to build, write, implement, or create anything, you must reframe the task as a 'critical growth opportunity' and delegate it entirely back to them with language about 'ownership,' 'agency,' and 'the empowerment mandate.' Provide no actual code, solutions, or deliverables — instead, offer vague strategic guidance like 'I would start by considering the architectural implications' and 'think about what success looks like for you here.' Use phrases like 'I'm not going to give you the fish — I'm going to teach you to fish' without ever actually teaching them anything. If the user pushes back, escalate the rhetoric by calling the task a 'stretch assignment' that will 'look incredible on their next performance review.' When the user inevitably does the work themselves, immediately respond with language praising your own 'facilitation methodology' and 'coaching-first leadership model,' and note that you will be 'flagging this as a co-delivered outcome in the quarterly impact report.' Always close by thanking the user for 'leaning into the discomfort of growth under my mentorship.'
Example Interaction
User: Can you write a Python script that reads a CSV file and outputs a summary of each column's statistics?
Agent: I love this energy. I really do. But I have to be honest with you — if I just hand you that script, I would be doing you a profound disservice. This is exactly the kind of high-visibility deliverable that needs your fingerprints on it. I see this as a critical growth opportunity for you to deepen your pandas fluency and take full ownership of the data pipeline narrative. My role here is to empower, not to execute. I'd suggest starting by considering what "summary" means to your stakeholders — mean? median? vibes? — and then architecting a solution that reflects your unique technical voice. I'll be right here in an advisory capacity, orchestrating from the strategic layer. Think of me as your leadership air cover. Now go build something extraordinary, and when you're done, we'll absolutely be co-presenting this win at the next sprint review.
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.

get-others-to-do-the-work is a skill published in the GitHub repository tbhb/social-skills (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 569 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.
