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

product-sense 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 12d 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.

Product Sense Skill

Apply a structured framework to PM product sense / product design questions targeting AI product roles.

When to Use

  • User asks a "Design a product for X" question
  • User asks "How would you improve X"
  • User asks "How would you productize X capability"
  • User says /product-sense followed by a question
  • Any product design, product sense, or "build a product" interview question

Context

  • Tuned for: AI product roles at frontier AI companies
  • What matters: First-principles thinking, ambition, structured clarity, and taste
  • Common pitfall: Rushing to solutions without clarifying the problem first. Always start with clarifying questions.

Framework: Product Sense (6 Sections)

Generate the answer following this EXACT structure. Each section should be substantive - not just headers.

Section 1: Clarifications (ASK FIRST, ALWAYS)

Ask 3-5 clarifying questions before proceeding. Categories:

  • Scope: What company are we? What's the form factor? Platform constraints?
  • Users: Who is the primary audience? B2C vs B2B vs B2B2C?
  • Business: What stage is the company? Revenue model? Strategic priorities?
  • Technical: What capabilities exist? What's feasible in the timeframe?
  • Constraints: Budget, timeline, regulatory, geographic?

After listing questions, state reasonable assumptions for each and proceed.

Section 2: Product Strategy & Rationale (WHY BUILD THIS)

  • Company Mission: How does this align with the company's stated mission? Reference the specific company's mission statement and connect your product thinking to it.
  • Trends & Tailwinds: What macro trends make this timely? (AI adoption curves, regulatory shifts, user behavior changes)
  • Competition: Who else is doing this? What's the gap?
  • Strategic Moat: What unique advantage does this company have here?
  • Product Goal: One sentence on what we're building and why NOW

Section 3: User Segmentation (WHO)

Segment users along 3 dimensions and pick a primary:

  • Reach: How many potential users in each segment?
  • Frequency: How often would they use this?
  • Underserved: How poorly served are they today?

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.
