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

litany 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.

/litany

Purpose

/litany audits audiovisual and sonic analysis for simplistic binaries, especially claims that idealize sound against vision, writing, media, or technology.

It functions as an anti-mystification command.

When To Use

Use /litany for:

  • audiovisual work
  • film, video, and installation analysis
  • game, interface, caption, subtitle, and scene analysis
  • media theory
  • critiques of sonic mysticism
  • claims about sound as immersion, body, presence, authenticity, or liberation
  • claims that oppose sound and vision too neatly
  • checking a draft analysis for audiovisual litany patterns

Skills Called

  • akouo-router as an implicit planning pass that supplies the evidence inventory, risks, and forbidden assumptions the synthesis must respect
  • critical-political-listening
  • transductive-media-listening
  • audiovisual-scenic-listening
  • acoulogical-object-listening when needed to reground the critique in the sound object

Execution Order

  1. Run critical-political-listening to detect universalist, romantic, or binary assumptions.
  2. Run transductive-media-listening to identify media, platform, apparatus, and conversion conditions.
  3. Run audiovisual-scenic-listening to map sound-image-text-scene relations, synchronization, captions, and interface conditions.
  4. Run acoulogical-object-listening when the critique needs to return to the perceptual sound object.
  5. Produce an audit of litany patterns, anti-litany corrections, and remaining risks.

Expected Output

Use schemas/command-output.schema.json.

The output must identify whether the analysis reproduces binaries such as:

  • sound is immersive, vision is distant
  • sound is body, image is intellect
  • sound is presence, writing is absence
  • sound is South, vision is North
  • sound is authentic, visuality is artificial

Guardrails

  • Critique must be concrete and text-specific or object-specific.
  • Do not reject embodiment, immersion, or presence automatically. Audit overstatement.
  • Name the mediation that complicates the binary.
  • Return to the sound object when critique becomes abstract.

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.
