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

brainstorm 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.

What it actually says

Run the research-idea-generator skill on this topic:

$ARGUMENTS

Steps:

  1. Map the landscape with 3-4 Corbis searches (top cited, recent work, surveys).
  2. Apply all 10 idea-generation lenses to the topic area.
  3. For each lens, generate 1-2 candidate ideas and verify novelty via search_papers.
  4. Quick-screen each candidate (question, lens, closest paper, importance, risk, viability).
  5. Rank by (impact potential) x (feasibility). Select top 10.
  6. Produce the Idea Menu (10 ranked ideas).
  7. Expand the top 3 into Idea Sketches (mechanism, bridge, data, contribution tier).
  8. Recommend which idea to screen first with /idea.

Produce a complete Idea Menu with Idea Sketches for the top 3.

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.
