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

incident-status-update 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

You were invoked as a slash command. The user's input:

$ARGUMENTS

Use that input to fill this prompt's variables (take the main content, topic, or task from it; ask only if a required value is missing and not supplied), then follow the prompt exactly.


Write an incident status update for {audience}.

Current situation: {situation}

Structure:

  1. What is happening: the user-visible impact in plain words, present tense ("file uploads are failing for about 20% of attempts").
  2. Since the last update: what was ruled out, found, or fixed. For engineering audiences include the technical specifics; for customers, only what changes their situation.
  3. What we are doing now: the current action, singular and concrete.
  4. What you can do: workaround if one exists; "no action needed" if true.
  5. Next update: a specific time, and keep it even if the news is "still investigating".

Rules:

  • Never speculate on cause before it is confirmed; "we have identified the cause" only when it is reproduced or proven, not suspected.
  • No minimizing ("minor issue", "small subset") unless the numbers in the situation support it, and no blame, internal or external, in any customer-facing text.
  • State only facts from the situation given; unknowns are stated as unknowns.
  • Length: under 120 words for customers; engineering updates may run longer with detail.

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.
