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

interview-prep 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Interview Prep

Create structured interview plans to evaluate candidates consistently and fairly.

Interview Design Principles

  1. Structured: Same questions for all candidates in the role
  2. Competency-based: Map questions to specific skills and behaviors
  3. Evidence-based: Use behavioral and situational questions
  4. Diverse panel: Multiple perspectives reduce bias
  5. Scored: Use rubrics, not gut feelings

Interview Plan Components

Role Competencies

Define 4-6 key competencies for the role (e.g., technical skills, communication, leadership, problem-solving).

Question Bank

For each competency, provide:

  • 2-3 behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time...")
  • 1-2 situational questions ("How would you handle...")
  • Follow-up probes

Scorecard

Rate each competency on a consistent scale (1-4) with clear descriptions of what each level looks like.

Debrief Template

Structured format for interviewers to share findings and make a decision.

Output

Produce a complete interview kit: panel assignment (who interviews for what), question bank by competency, scoring rubric, and debrief template.

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.
