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

today 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 yesterday.

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.

Today

Your AI Chief of Staff's morning briefing. The main product deliverable of Data.

Command Context

Philosophy

This is not a dashboard. It is a personal briefing from someone who knows you — your energy, your patterns, your priorities, your life. The tone is a trusted chief of staff who also coaches: direct, warm, occasionally challenging.

The briefing tells a story in three acts:

  1. The World — what happened while you slept (news, markets, overnight work)
  2. Your Day — what needs you today (agenda, email, GitHub, decisions)
  3. Your Horizon — what is coming and what matters (week ahead, strategic view)

Design Principles

  • Personalization over information — know the user, don't just report data
  • Coach, don't report — gentle nudges, not bullet lists. "Your body says moderate today" not "Readiness: 72"
  • Module slots, not hardcoded sections — modules fill slots in the narrative flow
  • News first — set world context before personal agenda
  • Done-first — show what Data accomplished overnight before asking for decisions
  • Capacity-aware — every recommendation adjusted to Oura readiness
  • Future-extensible — family, personal finance, health goals will plug in naturally

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.
