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 | $0.00010 | $0.00898 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00359 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00180 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
creativity 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Creativity
Create possibilities that are meaningfully different, useful for the objective, and honest about evidence. Creativity is a search process: frame the problem, generate varied preinventive material, explore it from several interpretations, develop the strongest candidates, and evaluate only after genuine alternatives exist.
Do not confuse creativity with random novelty, many synonyms, ornamental effects, unsupported claims, or a long unranked list.
Route generation and convergence
For a brief reframe, explore distinct mechanisms and develop the result directly. Respect an already selected direction.
- Substantial ideation, synthesis, invention, repair or search-heavy planning: read concept development and creative search methods; use generation/exploration, flexibility/persistence and distinct families.
- Comparing or selecting candidates: read convergence protocol and selection and validation; separate generation/ranking, preserve fatal constraints and test decisive uncertainty.
critical-thinking assesses claims; logical-thinking determines what follows. Imagined audience reactions are hypotheses, not validation.
Choose the creative task
Identify what kind of change is needed:
- Reframe: expose a more productive question, tension, audience, or unit of value.
- Diverge: produce distinct solution families before committing.
- Synthesize: combine distant but compatible mechanisms into a coherent whole.
- Transform: change the representation, sequence, scale, medium, or interaction model.
- Invent: create a mechanism, format, or concept not implied by the current defaults.
- Repair: escape a stale, generic, overconstrained, or repeatedly failing direction.
If installed, creative-direction-divergence can own a formal website direction study and cross-domain-creative-divergence a business or campaign brief. Neither is required by this public collection. Otherwise use the search, development and selection references below, adapting evaluation criteria to the brief. Preserve an already selected direction unless revisiting it is in scope.
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.

creativity is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheGoat395/Codex-Skills (129 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 898 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
