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

edit 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Edit

Activation Boundary

This is a tag-only worker skill. Use it only after execute or execute-one selects an exact <@edit...> annotation in a target document and hands off its context. Never activate it from an ordinary chat-window editing request, semantic similarity, or any skill other than those two routers. Without that router handoff, do not edit anything; tell the user to place an <@edit> tag in the document and run execute or execute-one.

Apply the edit described in the prompt to the surrounding block, then consume the tag.

Tag

<@edit: instruction>

Examples: <@edit: make this shorter>, <@edit: rewrite in formal tone>, <@edit: revise to align with ``intro.md``>.

Input

  • File path — the document being processed.
  • Surrounding block — the maximal run of non-blank lines containing the tag; blank lines bound it. Read the full file when broader context helps.
  • Prompt — what to change.
  • Modifiers and context references — see below.

Workflow

  1. Read the surrounding block; read the full file if you need broader context.
  2. Resolve any context references in the prompt.
  3. Apply the requested edit to the block's authored prose.
  4. Write the result back to the file: replace the surrounding block (including the <@edit: ...> tag) with the edited text.

Scope Modifiers

  • Protect << >> — text inside must NOT be modified. Preserve it exactly; remove the << >> delimiters in the output.
  • Field (( )) — ONLY text inside may be modified; everything else in the block is context. Remove the (( )) delimiters in the output.
  • Neither present: the whole surrounding block is editable.

Context References

Double-backtick references in the prompt point to external resources.

  • As input: read the referenced file or section for context.
  • As output: write the requested content to the referenced destination (a path is resolved relative to the document's directory unless absolute).
  • Remove the reference and its delimiters from the document output.

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.
