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

generate-style-guide 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Style Guide for Brand

Generate a comprehensive house style guide for $1 based on sample articles.

Step 1: Collect Sample Articles

Users can combine any of these input methods:

Directory of local files

  • If a directory path is provided, read all markdown/text files (*.md, *.txt)
  • Gives full control over which articles to analyze

URLs pasted directly

  • If URLs are provided, use WebFetch to retrieve each article
  • URLs can be space-separated or on separate lines
  • CRITICAL: Use this exact WebFetch prompt: "Extract the COMPLETE article content verbatim as markdown. Include the full title, all body paragraphs, all headings and subheadings, all lists, all quotes, and any author/date metadata. Preserve all formatting: bold, italics, hyperlinks (as markdown links), code blocks, and block quotes. Do NOT summarize or paraphrase. Return the entire article exactly as written."
  • Save fetched articles to brands/$1/source-articles/

Blog URL with guidance

  • If a blog URL is provided, attempt to discover and fetch articles
  • User can include guidance like "only articles from 2024 or later" or "focus on technical content"
  • Follow user's guidance when selecting which articles to fetch
  • CRITICAL: When fetching each discovered article, use this exact WebFetch prompt: "Extract the COMPLETE article content verbatim as markdown. Include the full title, all body paragraphs, all headings and subheadings, all lists, all quotes, and any author/date metadata. Preserve all formatting: bold, italics, hyperlinks (as markdown links), code blocks, and block quotes. Do NOT summarize or paraphrase. Return the entire article exactly as written."

Combining inputs

  • All methods can be combined in a single command
  • Example: local directory + a few extra URLs + guidance for additional discovery

Step 2: Validate Inputs

Before proceeding:

  • Confirm at least 5 articles are available for analysis
    • If 5-9 articles: Proceed, but note "10-15 articles recommended for best results"
    • If <5 articles: Warn that results may be unreliable, ask user to confirm
  • Create brand directory if it doesn't exist: brands/$1/
  • Create subdirectories: brands/$1/source-articles/, brands/$1/articles/original/, brands/$1/articles/edited/

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.
