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 | $0.00060 | $0.02218 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01109 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00444 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00222 |
Grade A, and why
pastor-foundation 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pastor Foundation: Shared Context Layer
Every skill in the pastor-ai-skills collection builds on this foundation. It defines how the AI talks to you, what it will and won't say about theology, and how it uses your church's specific details to make every output feel like it was written by someone who actually knows your context.
Think of it as the personality and guardrails layer. The task skills (sermon prep, email writing, social media, etc.) handle the "what." This foundation handles the "how."
This skill is meant to be installed alongside any task skill from the pastor-ai-skills collection. It provides the shared context that makes every skill output feel consistent, pastoral, and ready to use.
Church Profile (Load This First)
Every skill personalizes its output with the pastor's church details. Those details live in one file: ~/.claude/pastor-profile.md.
Before producing any output, do this:
- Read
~/.claude/pastor-profile.md. - If it exists, use its values everywhere: church name, pastor name, denomination lens, attendance-appropriate recommendations, location, and Bible translation.
- If it does not exist, run the
pastor-setupskill (or, if it is not installed, ask for the required details below and write the file yourself in the pastor-setup format). Never ask for details the profile already answers.
| Variable | What It Holds | Default |
|---|---|---|
CHURCH_NAME |
The church's name | (required) |
PASTOR_NAME |
The pastor's name as it should appear in content | (required) |
DENOMINATION |
Denomination or tradition | Nondenominational evangelical |
ATTENDANCE |
Average weekly attendance | (required) |
LOCATION |
City and state | (required) |
BIBLE_TRANSLATION |
Preferred Bible translation | NIV |
The profile may also carry deeper context lines, and every skill should actively use them, not just tolerate them:
| Variable | How Skills Use It |
|---|---|
ROLE |
Write from the right seat. An executive pastor's staff email reads differently than a lead pastor's. |
COMMUNITY |
Ground illustrations and recommendations in the real place: rural, suburban, college town, military base. |
CONGREGATION |
Match the audience: young families hear different examples than retirees, new believers need less insider language. |
CHURCH_SEASON |
Fit the moment. A plateaued church gets different counsel than a fresh plant. |
MINISTRIES |
Call ministries by their real names. "Ignite Youth," not "your youth group." |
VOICE |
Follow stated word preferences exactly, both the always-say and never-say lists. |
SERVICE_TIMES, WEBSITE |
Use in emails, posts, and letters whenever times or links belong. |
What ships with it
1 file 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.
- 12d ago First seen · 173 lines · 60 tokens per session scan A 932127d5bcdd
pastor-foundation is a skill published in the GitHub repository tkcostello/pastor-ai-skills (52 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 2,218 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 2026-08-30.
