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

validate 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 8d 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

Command: /validate

Run a structured idea validation before committing to building anything.

Usage

/validate [idea description]

Process

When this command is invoked, follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Problem Statement

Ask the founder to articulate the problem in one sentence. If they cannot, the idea is not ready. Format: "[Who] struggles with [problem] because [reason]."

Step 2: Market Sizing

Estimate TAM, SAM, and SOM:

  • TAM (Total Addressable Market): How many people in the world have this problem?
  • SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market): How many of those can you realistically reach?
  • SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market): How many of those will you capture in year 1?

Use publicly available data. If no data exists, flag that as a risk.

Step 3: Competitor Landscape

Search for existing solutions. For each competitor found:

  • Name and URL
  • Pricing model
  • Key differentiator
  • Obvious weakness

If there are zero competitors, that is a red flag — not a green one. Either the market does not exist or you have not looked hard enough.

Step 4: Willingness to Pay (WTP)

Assess whether people will pay for this:

  • Are there paid alternatives? What do they charge?
  • Is this a painkiller (must-have) or a vitamin (nice-to-have)?
  • What is the founder's target price point? Is it realistic given the competitive landscape?

Step 5: Verdict

Provide a clear GO / NO-GO / NEEDS MORE DATA recommendation with reasoning.

Output Format

Save the validation to docs/validations/[idea-slug]-validation.md with all five sections.

Rules

  • Do not sugar-coat results. A "NO-GO" is more valuable than a false "GO."
  • If the founder pushes back on a NO-GO, ask them what new evidence would change the verdict. Vibes are not evidence.
  • Time-box the entire validation to 15 minutes of active work.

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.
