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

incident-response 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 9d 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.

/incident-response

Initiate a structured incident response workflow with automated triage, stakeholder communication, and resolution tracking.

What I Need

Tell me about the incident:

  • What's broken? (service name, error messages, symptoms)
  • When did it start? (or when was it detected)
  • What's the impact? (users affected, revenue impact, SLA breach risk)
  • Severity level if known (SEV1-4)

Workflow

Step 1: Rapid Triage (2 minutes)

I'll analyze the incident and determine:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                    INCIDENT TRIAGE                          │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Service:        [affected service]                         │
│  Started:        [timestamp]                                │
│  Severity:       SEV-[1-4]                                 │
│  Impact:         [user/business impact]                     │
│  Blast Radius:   [affected systems/regions]                │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Initial Hypothesis: [likely cause based on symptoms]       │
│  Recommended Actions: [immediate steps]                     │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Step 2: Incident Channel Setup

I'll help you:

  • Create incident Slack channel (#inc-YYYYMMDD-service)
  • Post initial incident summary
  • Page on-call if not already done
  • Set up incident document

Step 3: Investigation

Using connected observability tools, I'll:

  • Query recent deployments (GitHub)
  • Check error rates and latency (Datadog/Prometheus)
  • Review recent alerts (PagerDuty)
  • Examine logs for error patterns (CloudWatch)
  • Check infrastructure changes (Terraform/K8s)

Step 4: Mitigation Options

Based on investigation, I'll suggest:

Option Risk Time Recommendation
Rollback Low 5min If recent deploy
Scale up Low 2min If capacity issue
Failover Medium 10min If region issue
Hotfix High 30min+ If code bug

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.
