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

expertify 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.

Expertify — proper role + domain terminology

Turn a layperson's prompt into an expert-grade prompt: find the professional role that owns the subject, swap lay wording for the field's established terminology, and produce a rewritten prompt that opens with a persona line.

Input

$ARGUMENTS is one of:

  • a rough prompt the user intends to ask ("help me make my website load faster on phones"),
  • a topic they want the vocabulary for ("retirement savings in France"),
  • a fuzzy role description ("the person who decides which features get built").

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user for the prompt or topic to expertify, then proceed.

Workflow

1. Identify the domain and the role

  • Extract the subject domain from the input. If the input describes a person/function rather than a subject, map the description to the actual job title.
  • Pick one primary role — the most precise title an expert in this exact question would hold. Prefer the specific over the generic: "ophthalmologist" over "eye doctor", "SRE" over "sysadmin", "notaire" over "legal person", "conversion rate optimizer" over "marketing person".
  • If two roles genuinely split the subject, keep one as primary and mention the alternative in one line.

2. Verify when unsure

  • Mainstream domain and you are confident → use your own knowledge, no search.
  • Niche domain, ambiguous role, possibly evolved terminology, or country-specific titles (FR vs EN job markets differ) → run 1–2 web searches (e.g. <domain> job titles, <domain> glossary terminology) and cross-check before answering. Do not over-search; two queries max unless results conflict.

3. Build the terminology map

  • List the lay terms in the user's input and pair each with the field's proper term.
  • Add the key concepts an expert would name that the user did not know to ask about — these are often the most valuable entries.
  • 6–12 entries. Every entry must be relevant to the actual input; no glossary padding.
  • Never invent jargon. If no established term exists for something, say so explicitly.

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.
