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

boundary-setting-scripts 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.

Boundary-Setting Scripts

A boundary is only real if you can say it out loud and hold it — which is exactly what most people can't do, so they hint, resent, and explode instead. This helps you name the boundary you actually need, gives you warm-but-firm words to state it (no over-explaining, no apologizing it into nothing), and prepares you for the pushback — because the guilt-trip and the "you're being difficult" are coming, and folding at them means you never had a boundary.

What This Skill Produces

  • The boundary, clarified — what you actually need to change, stated as a clear limit (not a vague wish)
  • A warm-but-firm script — the words to say it kindly and directly, without over-justifying or apologizing it away
  • The hold-the-line plan — responses to the pushback, guilt-trips, and "you've changed / you're overreacting"
  • The consequence — what you'll do if the boundary isn't respected (a boundary with no follow-through is a suggestion)
  • A relationship-aware tone — calibrated to who it's with (a boss ≠ a partner ≠ a parent)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The situation — who, and what they're doing that you need to change
  • What you need — the specific limit (time, behavior, topic, availability)
  • The relationship — friend, family, partner, coworker, boss (changes tone and leverage)
  • The dynamic — how they usually react, and whether you've raised it before
  • Your goal — change the behavior while keeping the relationship, or a firmer stance

Framework: Name It, State It, Hold It

  1. Clarify the actual boundary. Turn a vague frustration into a specific limit — "I need X to stop" or "I'm not available for Y" — because you can't state what you haven't defined.
  2. State it warm and firm. Lead with care if the relationship warrants, then the boundary plainly — and stop. Over-explaining and apologizing invite negotiation.
  3. Don't justify it to death. "No" is a complete sentence; a boundary doesn't require a defense that gives them something to argue with.
  4. Prepare for pushback. Guilt, anger, and "you're being unreasonable" are common — a calm broken-record restatement holds the line without a fight.
  5. Attach a consequence. Decide what you'll actually do if it's ignored (leave the conversation, reduce contact, escalate) — and be prepared to follow through, or it's not a boundary.
  6. Calibrate to the relationship. The words for a boss differ from a parent from a partner — tune tone and firmness accordingly.

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.
