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

add-your-own-human-voice 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 yesterday.

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.

Add Your Own Human Voice (AI Skill)

Overview

Default AI writing has recognizable fingerprints: corporate buzzwords ("delve", "testament", "tapestry", "crucial", "leverage"), monotonous sentence lengths, forced enthusiasm, and impersonal third-person generalities.

This skill provides a systematic framework to strip out AI synthetic markers and inject authentic human tone, lived experience, idiosyncratic perspective, and conversational cadence into AI-assisted drafts.

  1. Provide the "Messy Human Angle" First: Never ask an AI to invent a personal story. Provide 2-3 rough bullet points of actual events, quotes, or feelings from your own day.
  2. Set a Negative Constraint List: Explicitly ban AI tell-tale vocabulary and throat-clearing preambles.
  3. Tone Mirroring via Sample Text: Feed 200-300 words of your own past writing and instruct the model to analyze and mirror your sentence lengths, vocabulary density, and punctuation quirks.
  4. Vary Sentence Rhythm (Burstiness): Human writing mixes ultra-short punchy sentences with longer, compound thoughts. AI writing defaults to uniform 18-word sentences.
