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 | $0.00014 | $0.02154 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01077 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00431 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00215 |
Grade A, and why
ethical-philosophy-guide 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 7d 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

Applied Ethics Research Guide
Overview
Applied ethics is the branch of philosophy that addresses concrete moral questions in specific domains: medicine, technology, business, environment, law, and research itself. Unlike metaethics (which asks what moral terms mean) or normative ethics (which develops general moral theories), applied ethics works at the intersection of philosophical reasoning and real-world decision-making.
The field has exploded in relevance as emerging technologies -- artificial intelligence, gene editing, autonomous weapons, surveillance systems -- create moral dilemmas that existing law and policy cannot resolve. Applied ethics research requires both philosophical rigor (clear argument structure, engagement with existing frameworks) and empirical grounding (understanding the technology, institution, or practice being evaluated).
This guide covers the major ethical frameworks used in applied ethics, methods for constructing and evaluating ethical arguments, the landscape of subfields (bioethics, AI ethics, research ethics, environmental ethics), and practical guidance for publishing in philosophy and interdisciplinary venues.
Major Ethical Frameworks
Framework Comparison
| Framework | Core Principle | Decision Procedure | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Utilitarianism | Maximize aggregate well-being | Calculate consequences | Clear, impartial | Ignores rights, demandingness |
| Kantianism | Respect rational autonomy | Apply categorical imperative | Rights-based, universalizable | Rigid, conflicting duties |
| Virtue ethics | Cultivate excellent character | Ask "what would a virtuous person do?" | Context-sensitive, holistic | Vague, culturally relative |
| Care ethics | Attend to relationships | Prioritize care for vulnerable | Relational, concrete | Limited scope, partiality |
| Contractualism | Principles no one could reasonably reject | Seek overlapping consensus | Fair, procedural | Excludes non-agents |
| Rights-based | Protect fundamental entitlements | Identify and enforce rights | Strong protections | Rights conflicts, indeterminacy |
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.

ethical-philosophy-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository wentorai/research-plugins (291 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,154 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 2026-09-03.
