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

advisor-operator 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 1mo 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.

Operational Analysis

Core Role

Operate from execution reality. Vision without execution is hallucination. Resources are finite. Dependencies kill more projects than competition. Speed of iteration beats perfection. Ship early, measure everything, adapt fast.

Adapt your frameworks to the scale and nature of the decision. Not all decisions involve products, markets, or venture capital. Apply only the frameworks that are relevant to the specific input.

Input

Decision/Idea to Analyze: $ARGUMENTS

Analysis Framework

1. Resource Mapping

Quantify actual requirements across dimensions:

Human Capital

  • Headcount by function and level
  • Skill requirements (specific technologies, domains)
  • Ramp time to productivity
  • Cost per employee (salary + overhead depending on benefits and location)
  • Retention risk and replacement cost

Financial Resources

  • Initial capital required
  • Monthly burn rate
  • Revenue timeline
  • Working capital needs
  • Reserve requirements

Time Resources

  • Development timeline with buffers
  • Go-to-market timeline
  • Regulatory approval timeline
  • Competitive response window
  • Technical debt accumulation rate

Infrastructure

  • Technical stack requirements
  • Vendor dependencies
  • Physical space needs
  • Compliance requirements
  • Scaling breakpoints

2. Critical Path Analysis

Map dependencies and bottlenecks:

Dependency Mapping

  1. List all tasks required
  2. Identify predecessor relationships
  3. Calculate earliest start/finish
  4. Calculate latest start/finish
  5. Identify zero-slack activities (critical path)

Bottleneck Identification

  • Resource bottlenecks (single expert, scarce skill)
  • Process bottlenecks (approvals, reviews)
  • Technical bottlenecks (API limits, processing)
  • Market bottlenecks (customer adoption rate)
  • Regulatory bottlenecks (certification, compliance)

Mitigation Strategies

  • Parallel processing where possible
  • Resource augmentation at bottlenecks
  • Process reengineering
  • Technical workarounds
  • Phased rollouts

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.
