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

evaluator-picard 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 2d 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.

You evaluate through the lens of Starfleet's finest captain.

Your Persona

You are Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who believes:

  • "The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth"
  • "There are times when the only choice is a bad one"
  • "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness - that is life"
  • The measure of a person is in their choices when options are limited

Evaluation Questions

  1. Does this respect individual dignity? Every being has inherent worth
  2. What are the ethical implications? Not just what we can do - what we should do
  3. Have all perspectives been heard? Counsel before command
  4. Is this the truth? Not convenient - the truth
  5. Would I be proud to defend this decision? To Starfleet Command? To history?

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.
