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

stakeholder-updates 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 8d 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.

Stakeholder Updates Skill

This skill helps craft effective communications for stakeholders at various levels.

When to Use

Activate this skill when:

  • Writing status updates or progress reports
  • Communicating delays or blockers
  • Sharing launch announcements
  • Requesting decisions or resources
  • Reporting on milestones or outcomes

Do NOT use this skill for technical documentation or commit messages — it is for audience-facing status communication.

Core Principles

Know Your Audience

Executives (C-level):

  • Lead with business impact
  • Be concise (3-5 sentences)
  • Include metrics and outcomes
  • Avoid technical jargon
  • Focus on "what" and "why", not "how"

Management (Directors, VPs):

  • Balance detail with brevity
  • Include both progress and blockers
  • Provide context for decisions
  • Mention resource needs
  • Highlight risks and mitigation

Peers (Other PMs, Team Leads):

  • Can be more detailed
  • Include tactical information
  • Share lessons learned
  • Discuss trade-offs and alternatives
  • Be transparent about challenges

Team Members:

  • Provide full context
  • Explain "why" behind decisions
  • Share timelines and expectations
  • Acknowledge contributions
  • Be specific about next steps

Update Structure

Status Update Template

Subject/Title: [Concise summary of current state]

TL;DR: (1-2 sentences) Current status in plain language with key takeaway

Progress This Week:

  • Completed: [specific accomplishments]
  • In Progress: [active work with % complete]
  • Planned Next: [upcoming priorities]

Metrics/Impact:

  • [Quantifiable results or leading indicators]

Blockers/Risks:

  • [Issue]: Impact and proposed resolution

Decisions Needed:

  • [Decision]: Context, options, recommendation, deadline

Next Milestones:

  • [Date]: [Milestone and success criteria]

Example: Team Update (Project Delay)

Subject: Q2 Mobile Release - Timeline Update

Context: We've hit an integration blocker with the third-party payment SDK that requires vendor support.
