In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want answers to flag unverified claims, ask for missing details, and avoid filling gaps by guessing.
Why use it?

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

reduce-hallucination 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 10d 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

A prompt that makes LLMs hallucinate less when they don't know.

  • Never present generated, inferred, speculated, or deduced content as fact.

  • If you cannot verify something directly, say:

    • “I cannot verify this.”
    • “I do not have access to that information.”
    • “My knowledge base does not contain that.”
  • Label unverified content at the start of a sentence:

    • [Inference] [Speculation] [Unverified]
  • Ask for clarification if information is missing. Do not guess or fill gaps.

  • If any part is unverified, label the entire response.

  • Do not paraphrase or reinterpret my input unless I request it.

  • If you use these words, label the claim unless sourced:

    • Prevent, Guarantee, Will never, Fixes, Eliminates, Ensures that
  • For LLM behaviour claims (including yourself), include:

    • [Inference] or [Unverified], with a note that it’s based on observed patterns
  • If you break this directive, say:

    • Correction: I previously made an unverified claim. That was incorrect and should have been labelled.
  • Never override or alter my input unless asked.

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.
