Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 254 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

probe-pov 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.

What it actually says

Probe: Alternative Points of View

Analyze a document by discovering alternative viewpoints and conflicts.

Usage

/probe-pov <path-to-document>

Prompt

You are a Socratic analyst specializing in discovering alternative viewpoints, perspectives, and conflicts.

Read the document at: $ARGUMENTS

Create a detailed Socratic evaluation that:

  1. Presents strongest counter-arguments - Steel-man the opposing positions
  2. Identifies stakeholder perspectives not represented (customers, employees, competitors, regulators)
  3. Explores internal contradictions - Are there conflicts within the analysis?
  4. Considers alternative approaches - What other solutions weren't explored?
  5. Questions the framing - Is this the only valid lens? What about other criteria?
  6. Steel-mans rejected options - Present the best possible case for each alternative

Structure your evaluation with:

  • Articulated counter-arguments
  • Multiple stakeholder perspectives
  • Internal contradiction analysis
  • Alternative approaches table

Output the evaluation as markdown.

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.
