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

humanize-english 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 2d 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.

Clear, Natural English Editing

Improve the reader's understanding, not a detector score. A good reference can have repeated terminology, regular tables, definitions and no anecdote. Keep the user's intended voice and the destination's format.

Facts Are Not Style Material

  • Preserve supplied numbers, units, dates, versions, names, citations, negation, uncertainty and claim scope. Do not silently update a historical date.
  • Never invent a count, quote, interview, personal experience, experiment, failure, comparison or source to make prose more vivid.
  • Add specificity only when the supporting evidence supplies it. If no measurement exists, retain uncertainty or remove an unsupported claim. An unsupplied number is not an improvement over a vague quantity.
  • Label illustrative scenarios as hypothetical. Do not present them as a real case study or treat their invented values as proof of a product claim.
  • Preserve identifiers, executable code and technical obligations. Words such as may, must, can and will are not interchangeable style alternatives.
  • Reuse provided facts without asking the user to repeat them. Research a material factual gap when research is in scope; otherwise identify the gap without manufacturing an answer or blocking supported edits.

Match the Genre

Genre Useful editing Avoid forcing
technical reference exact terms, clear conditions, scannable structure slang, story openings, rhetorical questions, sales CTA
explanation/tutorial prerequisites and action/result sequence an untested command described as verified
analysis separate observation, inference and limits stronger causal claims than the evidence supports
personal narrative the author's supplied experiences and voice invented first-person testimony
marketing a supported benefit and relevant next action fabricated testimonials, percentages or guarantees

Contractions, fragments, humour, analogies and direct address are options, not quotas. Use them when they fit the audience and improve comprehension. Parallel lists and consistent terminology can be desirable in documentation.

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.
