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

draft-announcement 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to draft-announcement — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Given the topic or context provided in $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Ask the user the following clarifying questions (skip any that are already clear from the provided context):

    • Which channel should this announcement be posted in?
    • Who is the target audience?
    • What is the key message or call to action?
    • Is there a deadline or date to highlight?
    • What tone is appropriate — formal, casual, or urgent?
  2. Compose the announcement following Slack formatting best practices:

    • Use standard markdown: **bold** for emphasis, _italic_ for secondary emphasis, > for callouts.
    • Lead with the most important information — don't bury the point.
    • Use a clear, descriptive opening line that works as a headline.
    • Keep paragraphs short (2-3 sentences max).
    • Use bullet points for lists of items or action steps.
    • Include relevant emoji sparingly to aid scanning (e.g., :mega: for announcements, :calendar: for dates, :point_right: for action items).
    • End with a clear call to action or next step if applicable.
  3. Present the draft to the user for review. Offer to adjust tone, length, or formatting.

  4. Once the user approves, use slack_search_channels to find the target channel ID, then use slack_send_message_draft to create the draft in Slack.

  5. Let the user know the draft is ready in Slack and they can review and send it from the Slack client.

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.
