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

analyze 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 9d 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.

Universal Analyzer

A standalone skill for multi-perspective analysis of any topic, file, idea, or decision.

Use when:

  • Need to extract KEY POINTS from anything
  • Want multi-perspective gap/risk analysis (4-10 experts)
  • Need improvement opportunities with actionable plans
  • Want quick summary OR deep analysis mode
  • Need first-principles brief that challenges assumptions

Triggers: "analyze", "key points", "what's important", "improve this", "review", "examine", "assess", "analysis", "deep analysis", "run deep analysis", "brief", "challenge assumptions", "first principles"

Agent Capabilities

Capability Used For Required Fallback
File read Load target files/folders Yes
Sub-agent dispatch Parallel perspective analysis Recommended Sequential in main thread
Codebase intelligence (npx codebase-intelligence) Structural analysis for TS/TSX software domain No Pure reasoning from file contents

This skill remains fully functional without CLI tools. Codebase intelligence is an optional enhancement for the software domain only.

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.
