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

publish 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.

What it actually says

/press:publish

Push a finished draft to WordPress with title, content, taxonomy, and SEO meta.

Prerequisites

A local .env (copy templates/.env.example) with:

WP_BASE_URL=https://your-site.com
WP_USERNAME=your-wp-user
WP_APP_PASSWORD=xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx   # WordPress Application Password, NOT your login password

The app password is read locally and never printed or committed.

Input

  • $ARGUMENTS — path to the draft to publish.

Steps

  1. Pre-flight. Confirm the draft passed /press:audit (SEO ≥ 80, GEO ≥ 70). If not, warn and ask before continuing.
  2. Map fields from front matter to the REST payload:
    • titletitle
    • body Markdown → rendered content (HTML)
    • slugslug
    • meta_description → Yoast (_yoast_wpseo_metadesc) or Rank Math meta
    • categories / tags → resolve to term IDs (create if missing, with confirm)
    • schema → inject JSON-LD into the post body or header
  3. Default to status: draft in WordPress unless the user explicitly asks to publish live. Always confirm before setting status: publish.
  4. POST to "$WP_BASE_URL/wp-json/wp/v2/posts" using HTTP Basic auth with the application password.

Output

Report the created post ID, edit URL, and live/preview URL. On failure, surface the REST error (status + message) without echoing credentials.

Safety

  • Never overwrite an existing post without confirming the target ID.
  • Publishing live is an outward-facing action — confirm first every time.

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.
