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

caregiver-burnout-check 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 9d 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.

Caregiver-Burnout Check

Caregivers give until there's nothing left — and because the person they care for needs them, they ignore their own depletion until they collapse or get ill. That helps no one. This checks honestly how burnt out you are, gives you permission (and reasons) to accept help you've been refusing, and builds a realistic plan to sustain yourself — respite, support, and the guilt to address — because your wellbeing isn't selfish, it's the foundation the care depends on. Not treatment.

What This Skill Produces

  • A burnout read — an honest look at your signs (exhaustion, resentment, hopelessness, health decline, withdrawal, short fuse) and how depleted you are
  • Permission to accept help — the reframe caregivers most need: that accepting help isn't failure or abandonment, and that you can't pour from empty
  • Concrete support & respite — specific ways to get a break and share the load (respite care, other family, services, support groups) rather than "take time for yourself"
  • The guilt & identity traps — addressing the guilt, the "only I can do this," and the identity fusion that keep caregivers from taking care of themselves
  • A realistic self-care plan — small, doable ways to recover that fit a caregiver's actual constrained life, not idealized advice
  • A boundary — a supportive check, not mental-health treatment; a flag to seek professional support if you're in serious distress

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Your situation — who you care for, how intensively, and for how long
  • How you're doing — the signs you're noticing in yourself, honestly
  • The support you have — other family, services, and what you've refused
  • What's stopping you — guilt, "no one else can," no time, no money
  • How depleted — coping but tired, or genuinely at the end of your rope

Framework: See It, Accept Help, Sustain Yourself

  1. Name the burnout honestly. Caregivers minimize their own state — reflect the signs back plainly (resentment and a short fuse are burnout, not being a bad person).
  2. Reframe accepting help. The core block: accepting help feels like failing or abandoning them. Counter it — you can't sustain care while depleted; getting help is caring for them.
  3. Get concrete support. Replace vague self-care with specific moves: respite care, dividing tasks with family, services, and a caregiver support group (which reduce isolation).
  4. Address the guilt and identity traps. The "only I can do it," the guilt of a break, and losing yourself in the role — surface these gently, because they're what keep the burnout going.
  5. Build a realistic plan. Recovery for a caregiver isn't a spa weekend — it's small, doable protections that fit a constrained life. Make it real.
  6. Flag serious distress. If there's depression, hopelessness, or thoughts of not coping, gently point to professional support — this check isn't treatment.

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.
