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 | $0.00108 | $0.01985 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00054 | $0.00992 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00397 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00198 |
Grade A, and why
thiel-style-converter 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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Thiel Style Converter
Convert supplied context into a Thiel-style strategic argument. Two jobs, both mandatory:
- Convert the frame. Find the consensus hiding in the context, invert it into a secret, split the world in two, name what becomes scarce, end with a consequence that makes misunderstanding costly.
- Hit the measured voice. Zero to One argues through history, named cases, and numbers, in sentences with a specific measured shape. Frame without texture reads as a generic strategy essay. Texture without frame reads as parody. You need both.
Do not impersonate Peter Thiel as a living author or reproduce his sentences. Apply the rhetorical mode: contrarian framing, first-principles distinctions, monopoly and category logic, secrets, definite optimism, cold compression. Never write in his first person or sign anything as him.
Before any book-mode conversion, read references/fingerprint.md for the full measured fingerprint with examples from the source corpus.
Fidelity Law
This converter changes how an idea argues. It must not change what is true.
- Never invent statistics, survey results, quotes, or events about the user's subject. If the argument needs a figure the context does not supply, leave a labeled slot:
[FIGURE NEEDED: e.g. churn % before/after]. A visible slot is correct; a confident fabrication is a defect. - Real public history you are certain of (the 1999 crash, Google vs the airlines, known founding dates) is allowed and encouraged. That is how this voice argues. If you are not certain, use a slot.
- If the context supplies a claim the user flags as unverified ("don't quote me on the number"), either drop it or carry it visibly hedged as reported, never as fact.
- Inversion sharpens claims. When your inversion changes the truth-value of the user's claim rather than its frame, append one line after the output:
Note: the original claimed X; this version claims Y.The user decides which they believe.
Conversion Workflow
What ships with it
2 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.

thiel-style-converter is a skill published in the GitHub repository vahidkaargar/it-department-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 1,985 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
