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 | $0.00024 | $0.02680 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01340 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00536 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00268 |
Grade A, and why
aarrr-pirate-metrics 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 11d 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.

AARRR — Pirate Metrics
Overview
AARRR is a five-stage funnel framework for diagnosing where a product is losing users and revenue. Each stage maps to a measurable rate. Fix the worst-leaking stage first — patching acquisition while retention is broken is pouring water into a cracked bucket.
[Acquisition]
| % who visit / sign up
v
[Activation]
| % who reach first value moment
v
[Retention]
| % who come back
v
[Referral]
| % who invite others
v
[Revenue]
| % who pay / expand
v
GROWTH
Core Components
Acquisition
How do users find you? Channels: SEO, paid ads, social, content, outbound, partnerships.
- Key metric: visitors, sign-ups, or installs per channel
- Measure cost per acquisition (CPA) and channel mix to avoid over-dependence on one source
Activation
Do users experience the core value before they leave? This is the "aha moment" — the first action that predicts long-term retention.
- Key metric: % of new users who complete the activation event within N days
- Example activation events: sent first message, created first project, ran first report
Retention
Do users come back? This is the most important stage — without it, every other investment leaks.
- Key metric: Day-7 / Day-30 retention rate; or weekly/monthly active user (WAU/MAU) ratio
- A retention curve that flattens above 0% indicates a sustainable product
Referral
Do users bring others? Referral is the multiplier on every other stage.
- Key metric: Net Promoter Score (NPS) and viral coefficient (invites sent × invite conversion rate)
- Viral coefficient > 1.0 means the product grows without paid spend
Revenue
Do users pay, and do they expand? Revenue validates that value is real.
- Key metric: MRR, ARPU, LTV, LTV:CAC ratio
- A healthy ratio is LTV ≥ 3× CAC; payback period under 12 months for SaaS
How to Apply
Step 1 — Instrument each stage
Before analyzing anything, confirm you can measure each funnel step. Map one primary metric per stage. If you cannot measure it today, define the event and build the tracking first.
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.

aarrr-pirate-metrics is a skill published in the GitHub repository tupe12334/instinct (1 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 2,680 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
thinking-theory-of-constraints
When throughput or latency is pipeline-limited, identify the single binding constraint and exploit, subordinate, elevate, then recheck—ignore non-constraints.
thinking-lindy-effect
Use when longevity of a non-perishable option matters. Treat survival duration as a remaining-life prior, then check domain drift before favoring the proven.
alive:demo
Generate a believable, lived-in ALIVE world from a free-text persona description (custom path) or a deterministic sandbox preset. Routes the create/list/activate/deactivate/delete/status surface and orchestrates the 5-stage subagent generation pipeline.
alive:session-history
Revive sessions (quick or heavy), browse, and search — 'what happened recently?', 'find the session where we discussed X', 'revive yesterday's session'. For single-session recall and multi-session browsing. If the human needs to merge multiple sessions into one working context or detect conflicts between parallel…
alive:world
The human doesn't know what to work on, or wants to see everything at once. They need the big picture — what's active, what's stale, what needs attention. Renders a live world view grouped by ALIVE domain, then routes to open, tidy, find, history, or map.
thinking-kepner-tregoe
Use when a selective defect needs IS/IS-NOT difference analysis or a consequential option choice needs must/want weighting and adverse-consequence comparison.
