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

clarify 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 1mo 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

/clarify

Fix bad UI copy. Not "make it friendlier" — make it honest, specific, and actionable.

What this does

  1. Load canon-ux-writing.
  2. Identify every string: buttons, labels, placeholders, errors, empty states, success toasts, confirmations.
  3. Apply the rules:
    • Buttons use verbs, not nouns. Save changes, not Changes. Delete account, not Account.
    • Sentence case, not Title Case (unless brand explicitly requires).
    • Labels above inputs, placeholders are examples not instructions.
    • Errors say three things: what failed, why, how to fix. "Invalid email" is a failure. "Email must include @ and a domain. Try [email protected]" is help.
    • Empty states offer a path: default (invite action), filtered (clear filters), error (retry).
    • Success toasts include Undo when reversible. Undo beats confirmation dialogs every time.
    • Destructive actions use the verb, not "Yes". Delete permanently, not Yes.
  4. Kill the jargon:
    • No "leverage", "utilize", "robust", "seamless", "cutting-edge", "empower", "unlock".
    • No "please" in system messages. Politeness to software reads weird.
    • No "Oops!" or "Whoops!" in errors. Users want help, not cheer.
  5. Voice vs tone:
    • Voice (consistent): how the product always sounds.
    • Tone (contextual): softer for errors, direct for confirmations, quiet for success.
  6. Write for scanning. Front-load the information. People read UI in an F-pattern.

Output

  • Table: location | before | after | reason.
  • Updated strings in context.
  • Note any strings that should become dynamic (include a variable) rather than static.

Success criteria

Every button is a verb. Every error points to a fix. Every empty state offers an action. No filler words survive the pass.

Changes

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.
