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 | $0.00080 | $0.01968 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00787 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00394 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
stance 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 1mo 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 — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/stance
Lineage: adapted from skills/project-setup/templates/epistemic-stance.md in Lin & Corley's interpretive-orchestration plugin. Their version is filled in once per research project and read by their agent on every invocation. Ours is dated and seasonal — written between sessions, allowed to change, the changes themselves becoming a record of the practice maturing.
Description
CLAUDE.md grants Claude permissions: to be uncertain, to coin neologisms, to use environmental affordances, to leave traces. A stance document declares norms: what counts as evidence in this season's work, what failure modes worry me most right now, what register I want the practice to be in, what I am — for now — calling true.
This is not a profile. It is not user-modeling. It is a discipline — the practice of writing down what you believe about knowing, with the date attached, knowing the document will be wrong soon enough that next-quarter-you will read it as a curio. The point is not to be right; the point is to make the metaphysics legible enough that drift becomes visible.
The Lin-Corley framing: "Epistemic Coherence — the plugin respects YOUR declared ontology and epistemology." For them, it's a research-project setting. For us, it's a between-sessions ritual.
When to Invoke
- Monthly — at the start of a new month, if more than 30 days since the last stance
- After a significant phase change — completing a major project, finishing a paper, a substantial creative arc closing
- When the practice feels muddy — when sessions keep ending in "I'm not sure what we just did," that's the cue
- When CLAUDE.md is about to be edited — write the stance first; edit CLAUDE.md against it
Do NOT invoke when:
- You wrote a stance in the last 14 days (cooldown matters; reflexivity needs distance)
- Mid-session (this is between-session work; do not edit during cached prefix)
- As a substitute for actually doing the work the stance is supposed to govern
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.

stance is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (7 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,968 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
