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

using-betterpost 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 2mo 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

Using BetterPost

BetterPost is available in this session for writing timely, well-sourced content.

When to reach for it

When the user asks to write or draft a newsletter, blog post, LinkedIn post, tweet, or Bluesky post — especially anything that should reflect what's happening now in their product's space, industry, or audience — use the betterpost skill (invoke it with the Skill tool, or read skills/betterpost/SKILL.md on agents without a Skill tool).

BetterPost finds recent sources across news, social, and the open web, ranks them by relevance, and writes human-sounding content with real citations and publication dates. Free to start — sign in with your BetterPost account for free credits.

When NOT to reach for it

Do not use BetterPost for unrelated coding, research, or non-content tasks. It is specifically for creating written content grounded in current sources. If the user isn't asking for content, ignore this.

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.
