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

conversation-clarify 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conversation Clarify

Use this skill when a written exchange contains a question that is still open, and neither party has noticed.

Email fails quietly. Its characteristic failure is not silence, which is obvious, but false resolution: a reply that is grammatically responsive and semantically empty. Both sides believe the matter is settled. It is not.

You: Does Monday or Tuesday work for the kickoff? Stephen can only join Tuesday. Them: Yeah, I'll be there.

Which day? A further email costs two days and may repeat the failure. Thirty seconds of voice ends it. This skill decides when that trade is worth making, composes the one question the call must ask, and — this is the part that matters — refuses to write anything down unless the call actually established an answer.

Conversation analysts call this repair: the machinery by which speakers detect and fix trouble in speaking, hearing or understanding. What is unusual here is that the trouble happened in writing and the repair happens in voice.

This is not a skill for calling people who cannot be emailed. Here the recipient obviously has email: you are mid-thread with them. That is precisely the problem. Use the phone when email is insufficient, not when it is impossible.

When to use

  • A reply agreed to an either/or question without naming either option.
  • A reply committed to an action without naming a date, quantity, or deliverable.
  • The cost of continuing to be wrong exceeds the cost and intrusion of one short call.
  • The recipient's number appears in the thread itself, and they are someone you are already corresponding with.

When not to use

  • Anything relationship-sensitive. A rate negotiation, a complaint, a first contact, bad news, or anything where the recipient would expect a person. A disclosed AI caller is fine for logistics and wrong for these.
  • When nobody asked and nothing is ambiguous. A thread that reads cleanly needs no call. Silence is the correct output far more often than a finding.
  • To chase someone who has not replied. That is not repair; that is pursuit, and it needs a different justification.
  • When the number had to be looked up. If it is not in the thread and the user did not type it, there is no call to make.
  • Medical, legal, financial, or emergency substance. Route those to a person.

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.
