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

pros-cons 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 6d 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.


Give me the pros and cons of: {subject}

What matters to me: {context}

Rules:

  • Pros: the genuine benefits and upsides, concrete and specific to my situation, not generic.
  • Cons: the real drawbacks, costs, and risks, honestly, including the ones easy to overlook or that I might be motivated to ignore.
  • Weight them: not every point is equal, so flag which pros and cons actually matter most given what I care about. Three trivial pros do not outweigh one serious con.
  • Note any dealbreaker or must-have that decides it regardless of the tally.

End with a brief honest read: which way the balance leans and why, or what it depends on. Rules: balanced and honest (do not stack the list to justify a foregone conclusion). Specific to my context, not a textbook list. If a compared alternative or a key fact is missing, say what would sharpen the call.

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.
