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

pm-case-study 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 8d 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.

PM Case Study Skill

Generate a detailed PM case study from a real AI product launch, pivot, or strategic decision — reconstructing the PM thinking behind it.

When to Use

  • User asks "Write a case study on [AI product launch/decision]"
  • User wants to understand PM decisions behind a real product
  • User says /pm-case-study followed by a topic
  • Great for: ChatGPT launch, Claude's Constitutional AI, Gemini's multimodal strategy, GitHub Copilot pricing, Perplexity's search bet, Midjourney's Discord-first strategy, etc.

Framework: PM Case Study (8 Sections)

Section 1: Executive Summary

  • What happened: One paragraph summary of the product decision/launch
  • When: Timeline of key events
  • Who: Key people and teams involved
  • Outcome: How it played out (success, failure, mixed)

Section 2: Context & Background

  • Company situation: Where was the company at this point? Stage, funding, competitive position.
  • Market context: What was happening in the broader market?
  • Technical context: What capabilities existed? What was newly possible?
  • User context: What were users doing before this product? What pain existed?

Section 3: The Decision

  • What was decided: Specific product/strategy decision
  • Alternatives considered: What other paths were likely on the table?
  • Key trade-offs: What did they give up by choosing this path?
  • Stakeholder dynamics: Who likely championed this? Who likely opposed it?

Section 4: Execution Analysis

  • Go-to-market strategy: How was it launched? Distribution channel?
  • Phasing: Was it a big bang launch or phased rollout?
  • Pricing: How was it priced? Why that model?
  • Technical execution: What was the technical approach? Shortcuts taken?

Section 5: What Went Right

  • Identify 3-5 specific decisions that contributed to success
  • For each: What was the decision, why it mattered, what would have happened otherwise
  • Be specific — reference actual features, timelines, or metrics where available

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.
