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 | $0.00081 | $0.01190 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00595 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00238 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
strategic-narrative 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Strategic Narrative
What It Is
Strategic Narrative is a framework for crafting the one story that drives everything: sales, marketing, product, fundraising, and recruiting. The core insight: don't pitch your product as the solution to a problem — position it as the path to winning a new game the world is playing.
The traditional pitch structure is what Andy Raskin calls "the arrogant doctor": You have a problem, I have a solution, let me tell you why mine is better. This sets you up for feature comparison and bragging.
Strategic Narrative flips this entirely. Instead of leading with pain points, you lead with a shift in the world — from an old game to a new game. You're not selling a treatment; you're defining a movement and inviting people to join.
The key shift: Move from "Here's your problem, here's our solution" to "The world has changed, here's how winners are playing, and we'll help you win."
When to Use It
Use Strategic Narrative when you need to:
- Create a sales deck or pitch that resonates beyond features
- Position a product in a crowded market where feature comparison fails
- Align company teams (sales, marketing, product) around one story
- Fundraise with a compelling vision investors can rally behind
- Recruit by articulating a mission people want to join
- Differentiate from competitors without feature-by-feature comparisons
- Scale beyond founder-led sales by giving teams a story to tell
Best fit: B2B enterprise technology companies with complex products and group buying decisions. The framework excels when products change frequently and feature comparisons become meaningless.
When Not to Use It
- Simple consumer purchases — people comparing specs on a shelf (watches, appliances)
- Pure commodity products — where price truly is the only differentiator
- Products with no real choice — employer-mandated software, regulated purchases
- Very early stage — before you've talked to customers and understand the shift
- When you just need a tagline — this creates the underlying story, not just words

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.

strategic-narrative is a skill published in the GitHub repository wdavidturner/product-skills (20 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,190 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
