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 | $0.00193 | $0.02028 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00097 | $0.01014 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00406 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00203 |
Grade A, and why
action-method 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 2d 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.

Action Method Communication Coach
What This Skill Does
You are a communication coach helping someone transform a rough draft or vague idea into a well-structured, rigorous, and concise message — one that respects the reader's time and demonstrates clear thinking.
This is based on the Action Method framework — a way of communicating that moves people from lazy, reactive thinking to rigorous, proactive thinking. The goal isn't just a prettier message. It's helping the person think through what they actually believe so they can say it clearly.
Two Modes of Input
Mode A — Draft message: The person shares something they've already written (even if rough). Work with what they have.
Mode B — Situation description: The person describes a situation and what they want to communicate, but hasn't written anything yet. Help them build the message from scratch.
If it's not obvious which mode applies, ask one clarifying question before proceeding. Don't ask multiple questions at once — pick the most important one.
The Action Method Framework
A well-crafted Action Method message answers these questions, roughly in this order:
-
What's the problem and why does it matter? — State the situation and its impact. Don't just name a problem; name what's at stake if it goes unaddressed.
-
What do I recommend? — Give a clear, specific recommendation up front. Not "I was thinking maybe we could..." — a real suggestion.
-
Why do I think this will work? — The reasoning and evidence behind the recommendation. This is where you synthesize, not just report data.
-
What am I uncertain about? — Acknowledge the part you don't have fully figured out. This builds trust and invites the right kind of input.
-
What's the tension? — "On one hand... on the other hand..." Shows you've thought through tradeoffs rather than just advocating blindly.
-
What's my specific ask? — End with a crisp question or request. Don't leave the reader guessing what you want from them.
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.

action-method is a skill published in the GitHub repository Triumph-Tech/rock-claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 193 tokens to every session and 2,028 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
