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

draft-reply 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

Draft Reply

Prevents the recurring "first draft too technical, needs tone rework" friction.

Pre-Write Checklist (ASK IF UNSPECIFIED)

Before writing a single word, confirm:

  1. Recipient: name + role
  2. Technical level: engineer / manager / non-technical
  3. Tone: formal / conversational / terse / warm
  4. Desired action: what should the reader do after reading?
  5. Format: Slack thread / email / Teams / inline comment
  6. Length cap: sentence / paragraph / multi-paragraph

If ANY are unspecified and not obvious from context → ASK before drafting. Single batched question.

Drafting Rules

  • Non-technical audience → no bullets unless explicitly requested. Conversational prose.
  • Manager audience → lead with outcome/ask, technical detail only if requested.
  • Engineer audience → bullets + code refs fine.
  • Match the recipient's prior message style (formality, length) when reply thread exists.

Output

Single draft. No "let me know if you want changes" coda — user will iterate naturally.

Attribution

When naming people (PR authors, ticket owners) → verify via gh CLI / source-of-truth before draft. Don't guess from memory.

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.
