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

blog-draft 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.

Blog Draft Skill

Draft a blog post from ideas and resources. This skill guides through research, brainstorming, outlining, and iterative drafting with version control.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

User should provide:

  • Idea/Topic: The main concept or theme for the blog post
  • Resources: URLs, files, or references to research (optional but recommended)
  • Target audience: Who the blog post is for (optional)
  • Tone/Style: Formal, casual, technical, etc. (optional)

Execution Flow

Follow these steps sequentially:

Step 0: Create Project Folder

  1. Generate folder name using format: YYYY-MM-DD-short-topic-name
  2. Create the folder structure:
    blog-posts/
    └── YYYY-MM-DD-short-topic-name/
        └── resources/
    
  3. Confirm folder creation with user before proceeding.

Step 1: Research & Resource Collection

  1. Create resources/ subfolder in the blog post directory
  2. For each provided resource:
    • URLs: Fetch and save key information to resources/ as markdown files
    • Files: Read and summarize in resources/
    • Topics: Use web search to gather up-to-date information

Step 2: Brainstorm & Clarify

  1. Present main themes, potential angles, key points, and gaps
  2. Ask clarifying questions about main takeaway, target length, and emphasis
  3. Wait for user responses before proceeding.

Step 3: Propose Outline

Create a structured outline including meta information, proposed structure, and sources to cite.

Step 4: Save Approved Outline

Once user approves, save to OUTLINE.md in the blog post folder.

Step 5: Commit Outline (if in git repo)

Stage new files, create commit with message: docs: Add outline for blog post - [topic-name]

Step 6: Write Draft

Based on the approved outline, write the full blog post draft including:

  • Engaging introduction with hook
  • Clear section headers
  • Supporting evidence and examples from research
  • Citations: All factual claims MUST cite the original source
