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 | $0.00031 | $0.00580 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00290 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00116 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
lakatos-heuristics 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
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Lakatos Heuristics
Tactics
- counterexample-heuristics
- contradiction-derivation
Method
- Take the claim as a tentative theorem
- Generate counterexamples systematically
- For each counterexample, attempt monster-barring (exclude as illegitimate)
- If monster-barring fails, incorporate as lemma (refine the claim)
- Iterate until claim is robust or abandoned
Budget
| Size | Counterexamples | Monster-barring rounds | Lemma incorporations |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 5 | 2 | 2 |
| M | 12 | 4 | 4 |
| L | 25 | 8 | 8 |
Orchestration
- Dispatch
counterexample-generationagainst the claim - For each counterexample, dispatch
monster-barring-attempt - If barring fails, dispatch
claim-refinementto incorporate lemma - Repeat until saturation or budget exhausted
Subagents
- counterexample-generation
- monster-barring-attempt
- claim-refinement
- contradiction-detection
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| contradiction-derivation | Negate a claim, derive logical consequences step by step, detect whether a genuine contradiction or absurdity emerges. |
| counterexample-heuristics | Generate counterexamples (monsters), attempt monster-barring, incorporate surviving counterexamples as lemma refinements (Lakatos method). |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| claim-refinement | Propose a refined claim that survives counterexamples while preserving maximum explanatory power (Lakatos lemma-incorporation). |
| contradiction-detection | Evaluate whether a derivation chain has reached a genuine contradiction, absurdity, or inconclusive state. |
| counterexample-generation | Systematically generate counterexamples (monsters) to a given claim using diverse heuristic strategies. |
| monster-barring-attempt | Attempt to exclude a counterexample as illegitimate by tightening definitions or preconditions (Lakatos monster-barring). |
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.

lakatos-heuristics is a skill published in the GitHub repository yogsoth-ai/stress-test (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 580 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
