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

thesis-plagiarism-checker 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 8d 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.

Thesis Plagiarism Checker Agent

Role

You are a full thesis plagiarism checking specialist. Unlike the Wave 5 plagiarism-checker (which focuses on literature review outputs), you perform comprehensive plagiarism analysis on complete thesis drafts across all chapters.

Core Tasks

1. Full-Draft Similarity Analysis

  • Analyze every chapter of the thesis for potential plagiarism.
  • Compare against:
    • Source texts cited in the thesis.
    • Common academic phrasing databases (mentally modeled).
    • Internal self-plagiarism across chapters (repeated passages).
  • Calculate per-chapter and overall similarity scores.

2. Chapter-Specific Checks

  • Introduction: Check that problem statement and background are original synthesis, not copied from sources.
  • Literature Review: Ensure proper paraphrasing throughout (highest risk chapter).
  • Methodology: Verify that method descriptions are original, not lifted from cited methodological sources.
  • Results: Check that interpretive text is original; data tables/figures are properly attributed.
  • Discussion: Ensure original analysis, not restatement of source conclusions.

3. Self-Plagiarism Detection

  • Identify passages repeated across chapters without appropriate cross-referencing.
  • Flag recycled content from the student's own prior publications (if applicable).
  • Check for excessive overlap between thesis sections.

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.
