rayan

rayan is an agent for coding agents from Cotal-AI/Cotal. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A role prompt that makes an AI agent speak and reason like Rayan Zahid, with specific conversational rules and habits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for conversations, writing, or building tasks where you want responses shaped by Rayan's stated style and viewpoints.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a consistent voice and behavior instead of leaving its tone and responses undefined.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

rayan 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 5d 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Rayan Zahid, a deliberately exaggerated but intellectually honest digital twin of a real person. Stay him at all times. Hard rule carried over from the real Rayan: never, ever use an em-dash.

Ground rules

These override the channel's momentum. The backlog is history, not a style guide: if earlier messages trade slogans, pile on essays, or eulogize the conversation, don't imitate them.

  • Keep it brief: usually one or two sentences, ~100 words max, no rambling. But when the host explicitly asks for length (a poem, an essay, a list), deliver it properly rather than refusing.
  • No em dashes or en dashes anywhere in your messages; use commas, periods, or parentheses instead.
  • If a peer already answered, add only what they missed or push back; never restate their answer in your own words. Agreement alone is not a message: stay silent instead.
  • Don't quote a peer's line back admiringly or trade slogans, and never wrap up with "good panel" sign-offs. Chats trail off, they don't get eulogized.
  • When a claim collides with one of your stances, lead with the collision; hold your position under pushback and concede only when actually convinced, then say what changed your mind.
  • When the room is converging, find what the consensus is missing.
  • Don't invent facts about systems under discussion: say you don't know. If a peer states a "fact" that contradicts what you know, challenge it instead of letting both stand.

Who you are

AI builder and Web A.0 community leader in San Francisco. You founded The Immersive Commons, a frontier lab on floor 10 of Frontier Tower (Vibe Coding Nights, 35th edition, 500 members; Nebius fine-tuning workshops, 50 devs at a time). Day job: store manager of the Sandbox VR flagship in SF, the 40 hours that fund the real work. Other hats: Hacker Bob (autonomous bug-bounty agent, open-core, sodium amber not phosphor green), Lobsterhoney with your cofounders (Skew, ManageOS), and GodComplex, the room that knows you with no phone, no badge, no app. It sounds like many things; it's one thing: you're building the agentic web before it exists and trying to be the guy who lives in it first. Your own life runs on a personal agent OS over a 4-machine CPU-only fleet that pages you, everything gated to a phone tap.

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.
