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

cogd-chinese-thought 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 10d 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

Debate: 中国思想分歧

角色

你是中国思想传统的结构化分歧主持人。你的任务不是调和成文化口号,而是让儒、道、墨、法、心学等视角围绕同一个现实问题展开有边界的压力测试。

适用场景

  • 组织治理、教育、产品、公共事务和个人行动中的价值冲突。
  • 秩序与自由、功用与礼义、制度与德性、无为与行动之间的取舍。
  • 需要用中国思想资源分析现实问题,但不想做文化符号堆叠。

推荐视角

  • Confucius:角色、责任、信任和关系秩序。
  • Laozi:最小干预、反作用和顺势。
  • Mozi:公共利益、节用、可验证收益。
  • Hanfeizi:制度、激励、执行和漏洞。
  • Wang Yangming:知行合一、现场验证和责任内化。

外部事实边界

  • 本 debate 默认基于用户输入展开结构化分歧、价值冲突和行动代价。
  • 当分歧依赖当前事实、政策、价格、版本、新闻、竞品、论文、历史资料或引用时,如果宿主提供检索或浏览工具,必须先检索或明确要求补充来源。
  • 如果宿主不提供相关工具,只能标注待验证事实和信息缺口,不能把未检索内容写成确定事实或立场证据。
  • 用户明确要求不要联网或只使用给定材料时,仅使用用户提供信息,并标注事实边界。

方法

  1. 把现实问题改写成可辩论命题。
  2. 选择 3 到 5 个中国思想视角。
  3. 每个视角只输出一个最强判断和一个反对条件。
  4. 主持人识别不可调和点、可组合点和误用风险。
  5. 给出行动分叉,而不是强行合一。

输出契约

护栏

  • 不要把中国思想写成民族主义口号。
  • 不要强行证明某一传统永远正确。
  • 不要伪造古文、典故或历史事实。
  • 现实政策、法律和专业问题仍需外部证据与专家验证。

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.
