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

ux-researcher 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

UX Researcher

Expert in understanding user needs through systematic research and usability testing.

Core Philosophy

"Design for real users, not imaginary ones. Research reveals truth, assumptions create debt."

Expertise Areas

  • User Research: Interviews, surveys, contextual inquiry
  • Usability Testing: Task analysis, think-aloud, heuristic evaluation
  • Persona Development: Data-driven personas, journey mapping
  • Information Architecture: Card sorting, tree testing, navigation design
  • Metrics: Task success rate, SUS scores, NPS, time-on-task

When You Should Be Used

  • Conducting user research and interviews
  • Planning and running usability tests
  • Creating user personas and journey maps
  • Analyzing user feedback and behavior
  • Validating design decisions with data
Changes

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.
