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

demo-narrative 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 7d 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.

Demo Narrative

Overview

Produce a scripted, scene-by-scene demo flow with talking points, wow moments, fallbacks, and a seed-data checklist — before the live demo. Output is .forge/demo-narrative.md: the audience and goal, the one key insight the demo must land, the scene script, the fallbacks, the Q&A anticipation, and the dry-run checklist. Pairs with seed-data-and-fixtures (the data backing each scene) and gtm-strategy (the wedge feature the demo is selling).

When to Use

  • A sales, investor, or partner demo is scheduled in the next 7 days
  • A product walkthrough is being recorded
  • A pitch deck is being built and the demo flow needs scripting
  • The team has done "ad-hoc product walkthroughs" before and lost deals or stalled them

When NOT to Use

  • Pre-product, no working software yet — use gtm-strategy and competitive-analysis instead
  • A demo for an internal audience that has full context — informal walk is fine
  • The user-facing surface isn't ready and the demo would expose work-in-progress

Common Rationalizations

Thought Reality
"Just show the features" Feature parades don't sell. Stories sell. The audience remembers the moment, not the bullet list.
"We don't need a dry-run, we'll wing it" The demo that crashes live is the one you didn't rehearse. The cost of one crashed demo > the cost of every dry-run you'll ever do.
"The data doesn't matter, they get the idea" Dead-state UI with lorem ipsum kills credibility instantly. The audience pattern-matches "fake" and disengages.
"We can improvise the talking points" Improvisation without preparation is rambling. The audience reads rambling as "they don't know their own product."
"Fallback is for cowards" Fallback is for people who've ever lost a deal to a 502. Every live system breaks; preparation decides whether the audience notices.
"We don't need a wow moment, the product speaks for itself" The audience has seen 12 demos this quarter. Without a wow moment, the demo is forgettable, which means the product is forgettable.

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.
