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

career-pivot-plan 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.

Career Pivot Plan

Career changes stall on two myths: "I have to start from scratch" and "I have to quit and figure it out." Neither is true. Most pivots are bridges — leveraging what transfers, closing specific gaps, and entering through a side door — often without a heroic income cliff. This maps your transferable strengths, the real gaps, and a staged plan that gets you there while staying solvent.

What This Skill Produces

  • A transferable-skills map — what from your current background genuinely carries into the target field (usually more than you think)
  • An honest gap analysis — the specific skills, credentials, or experience the target role actually requires that you lack
  • A staged bridge — a sequence (learn → build proof → reposition → side-door in) rather than a single leap
  • A runway reality check — the financial and timeline realities, and lower-risk paths (transitional roles, hybrid moves, moonlighting)
  • A repositioning narrative — how to tell your story so your background reads as an asset, not a liability
  • Concrete next steps — the first few moves to start now

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • From → to — your current field/role and the target
  • The why — what's driving the change (helps aim it)
  • Your assets — skills, experience, network, and any relevant interests/projects
  • Constraints — financial runway, timeline, obligations, risk tolerance
  • What you've explored — any research or steps already taken

Framework: Bridge, Don't Leap

  1. Inventory what transfers. Most skills (communication, analysis, project work, domain knowledge) carry across — map these first to shrink the perceived gap.
  2. Analyze the real gap, honestly. Identify what the target role genuinely requires that you lack (skills, credential, portfolio, network) — not a vague sense of unqualified.
  3. Stage the bridge. Build skills and proof, reposition your story, and look for side-door entries (adjacent roles, internal moves, transitional titles) rather than a cold leap.
  4. Respect the runway. Be realistic about money and time; favor lower-risk paths (moonlighting, a transitional role, part-time study) over quitting into uncertainty.
  5. Rewrite the narrative. Frame the background as an asset the target field values, with a clear "why this makes sense" story — not an apology for a change.
  6. Start small now. Give the first concrete steps (a conversation, a course, a project) to build momentum.

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.
