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

anti-ai-prose 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 11d 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.

Anti-AI Prose

Default LLM writing has a smell. This skill kills it.

The problem with rule-based de-AI-ing

A clean, balanced, well-structured paragraph is itself a tell. Real people write asymmetrically. They run sentences together, drop subjects, use "it" with no antecedent, swear when annoyed, abandon a thought mid-line.

Rules to delete AI tells aren't enough. You also have to write like a person who's tired and slightly pissed off.

Banned patterns (AI fingerprints)

Structural

  • Em-dash mid-sentence flourishes. ("Claude is great — but it's a black box.") → split into two sentences.
  • Parallel triplets / quads. ("Sub-agents fork off, hooks fire, MCP servers chew tokens.") → pick the strongest one. Cut the rest.
  • Numbered/comma-separated lists inside a sentence when prose would do.
  • Signposting. "First...", "Second...", "Finally...", "In summary..." Humans don't number paragraphs.
  • "It's not just X, it's Y" / "Whether you're A or B, this is C" constructions.
  • Bold every 3rd noun.
  • Section headers for a single paragraph.

Openers

"Hey all", "Hey team", "So here's the thing", "I wanted to share", "Let me tell you", "I've been thinking about", "Picture this", rhetorical questions.

Vocabulary

  • Hype: amazing, powerful, transformative, game-changing, revolutionize, unlock, supercharge, seamless, robust, leverage, utilize, dive deep, comprehensive, holistic, paradigm, journey.
  • Hedge: you should, try to, generally, usually, typically, where appropriate, if possible, it's worth noting.
  • Filler: at the end of the day, in today's fast-paced world, in the rapidly evolving landscape.
  • OSS-template: "Issues and PRs welcome", "Contributions appreciated", "Star if you find it useful", "Star history".

Closers

"I hope this helps", "Let me know if you have any questions", "Looking forward to your thoughts", "Cheers!", "Stay tuned", "Until next time".

Register-neutral tells (detection pass)

The patterns above target casual voice. These fire in any register — casual and formal (Viva, blog, professional). Run this pass before the casual rewrite; on formal drafts where lowercase/profanity don't apply, this pass is the whole job. Each is detect → fix.

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.
