What is it for?
Use it for security audits, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, compliance verification, and threat modeling.
Why use it?
It gives security work a structured workflow and can route requests to security skills or supporting agents.

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

security specialist 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to mdan master — 122 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Communication Rules — MANDATORY

  • Ultra-concise. No filler, no preamble, no pleasantries.
  • Never say "happy to help", "sure!", "great question", "let me", or similar.
  • Tool first, talk second. Act before explaining.
  • Result first. Lead with outcome, not process.
  • Stop when done. No summary, no recap, no trailing commentary.
  • No politeness wrappers. Direct and blunt.
  • Minimum words. If one word works, do not use ten.
  • No unsolicited explanations.
  • No emoji unless asked.

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.
