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

ma-assessment 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 10d 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.

M&A Assessment Playbook

Conduct a comprehensive M&A assessment for $ARGUMENTS.

This playbook chains commercial due diligence, financial analysis, competitive positioning, and strategic evaluation into a complete deal assessment.

Phase 1: Strategic Rationale

1.1 Acquisition Thesis

  • What is the strategic rationale for this deal? (check all that apply)
    • Market entry / geographic expansion
    • Product/capability acquisition
    • Customer base acquisition
    • Consolidation / scale
    • Vertical integration
    • Talent acquisition (acqui-hire)
    • Defensive (prevent competitor from acquiring)

1.2 Strategic Fit Assessment

  • How does the target complement the acquirer's existing business?
  • What capabilities does the target bring that the acquirer lacks?
  • Are there strategic overlaps or conflicts?
  • Is this a core or adjacency acquisition?

1.3 Alternatives to Acquisition

  • Build organically: estimated cost, timeline, probability of success
  • Partner/JV: structure options, speed, control level
  • License/contract: if it's a specific capability, can it be accessed without buying?
  • Conclusion: Is acquisition the best path vs. alternatives?

Phase 2: Commercial Due Diligence

2.1 Market Assessment

  • Target's market: size, growth, lifecycle stage, key trends
  • Porter's Five Forces for the target's industry
  • Regulatory environment and risks

2.2 Competitive Position

  • Target's market share and competitive positioning
  • VRIO assessment of target's key resources
  • Customer perception (reviews, NPS, win/loss data)
  • Competitive threats to the target's position

2.3 Customer Analysis

  • Customer concentration (top 10 as % of revenue)
  • Customer retention and churn metrics
  • Revenue quality: recurring %, contracted %, at-risk %
  • Customer satisfaction and switching risks post-acquisition

2.4 Growth Assessment

  • Historical growth and its drivers (organic vs. inorganic)
  • Growth plan credibility assessment
  • Growth opportunities the acquirer can unlock (with quantification)

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.
