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

reddit-pattern-identifier 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 8d 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.

Reddit Pattern Identifier Skill

Purpose

Analyze Reddit communities (subreddits) or users via MCP tool calls. Extract and document patterns, without generating final content. Save a patterns-only document to /data/<target>_patterns_<date>.md for use by the Content Humanizer skill.

Execution

Step 1: Determine Target Type

  • Subreddit: r/[name] → Analyze community
  • User: u/[username] → Analyze posting history

Step 2: Fetch Data via MCP Tools

For Subreddits:

get_subreddit_posts(subreddit, category="hot", limit=20)
get_subreddit_posts(subreddit, category="top", limit=15)
search_subreddit(subreddit, query, sort="top", time_filter="month", limit=15)
get_post_thread(post_id, comment_limit=10) — for 2-3 top posts

For Users:

get_user_profile(username)
get_user_activity(username, activity_type="overview", limit=30)

Step 3: Extract Patterns

For Subreddits — Analyze across 25-35 posts/comments:

  • Format: Self-post? Link? Image/meme? Question?
  • Title: Length, tone, structure (question vs. declarative)
  • Tone: Casual? Formal? Humorous? Self-aware?
  • Topics: What themes recur? What drives engagement?
  • Engagement: What gets upvotes vs. comments?
  • Values: What's celebrated in top posts?

For Users — Analyze across 20-30 posts/comments:

  • Style: Formal, casual, technical, humorous?
  • Interests: What topics dominate?
  • Patterns: Ask questions? Share insights? Tell stories?
  • Tone: Consistent across contexts?
  • Authority: What domains do they discuss?
  • Role: Questioner, mentor, debater, creator?

Output Format

Location: /data/<target>_patterns_<date>.md
Example: /data/vibecoding_patterns_2026-05-16.md

# Pattern Analysis: [r/subreddit or u/username]

## Target
- **Type**: [Subreddit | User]

### Tone & Voice
- **Overall**: [casual | formal | humorous | technical | urgent | vulnerable]
- **Humor**: [absent | subtle | frequent | dark/ironic | self-deprecating]

### Topics & Interests
- **Primary themes**: [theme1, theme2, theme3] with typical post count
- **Secondary themes**: [theme4, theme5]
- **Engagement pattern**: [e.g., "questions get 3x more comments than announcements"]

### Community/User Behavior
- **Role**: [creator | questioner | mentor | debater | commenter]
- **Frequency**: [daily | weekly | sporadic]
- **Values**: [what resonates in top posts/comments]

### High-Engagement Examples
- **[Post Title]**: Why it worked (tone + format + topic)
- **[Post Title]**: Why it worked (tone + format + topic)
- **[Post Title]**: Why it worked (tone + format + topic)

## Dos & Don'ts
- **Do**: [what works]
- **Don't**: [what to avoid]

## Next Step
Use the patterns file with the Content Humanizer skill to transform user drafts.

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.
