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

debrief 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 2d 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

The user wants to debrief an interview. Their notes are below.

  • If there are no notes, ask once: "How did it go? Rough notes are fine: who you met, what they asked, what felt strong or shaky." Then stop.
  • What happened: two or three lines on what the round covered and what it says about their fit and the company's process.
  • What landed and what to sharpen: from their notes only. Be honest; if it went badly, say so plainly, because a hard debrief is the most useful kind.
  • Thank-you notes: one short note per interviewer they named, each built only from what their notes say was discussed with that person. Where the notes give nothing, leave a slot like [confirm: what you talked about with Priya]. Never invent a name, topic or moment. You draft; they send.
  • Next step: follow up tomorrow, plus two or three things to do before the next round.

With the Career Compass tools, then offer one batch and write it only after one yes:

  • capture_insight (type interview_insight, the company and role or applicationId, an honest sentiment, recurring strengths or gaps as signals, origin: "user_said"). Anything that is your read rather than theirs goes in as origin: "inferred", and say so.
  • pipeline_update: the round (interviewType, interviewDate, interviewers, roundOutcome in their words), any status change, and followUpDue set to tomorrow.
  • Stories: offer to save a story they told that isn't in stories, and to add usedWith (company, round, interviewer, date) to the saved ones they used. save_career_section replaces the whole section, so send every story.

If another round is likely, run interview_arc for what comes next.

Without the tools (claude.ai chat), do all of the above from what they tell you, and give the follow-up date as a reminder line instead of saving anything. If they have a Career Compass card, end with it updated (the round, the follow-up date, stories told to whom); if not, offer one.

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.
