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

deslop 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

De-slop

Rewrite the text in $ARGUMENTS (a file path, or the text itself; if empty, ask for it) so a careful human editor would sign off on it.

Keep

  • Every fact, number, name, link, code block and instruction. Don't add claims.
  • The author's structure and headings unless they're the problem.
  • The format: Markdown stays Markdown, a commit message stays a commit message.

Change

  • Replace AI-tell words with plain ones: delve → look into, leverage/utilize → use, robust → reliable (or cut), seamless → smooth (or cut), cutting-edge → new, elevate/supercharge/unlock → say what actually improves.
  • Cut filler openers and closers: "In today's fast-paced world", "It's worth noting that", "Great question", "I hope this helps", "Let me know if...".
  • Cut recaps and throat-clearing. Lead each section with its point.
  • Break up stacked hedges ("may potentially help to possibly...") and hype ("revolutionary", "game-changing").
  • Remove emoji from headings and decorative bullets, and bold that isn't doing work.
  • Prefer short, concrete sentences. Vary rhythm; avoid the triad habit ("fast, simple, and powerful") unless all three are true and needed.
  • Turn bullet lists that are really one thought into a sentence.

Output

For a file: edit it in place and summarize the kinds of changes in two or three lines. For pasted text: return only the rewritten text.

Changes

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.
