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

surprise-me 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 10d 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.

Surprise Me

Deliver an unexpected, delightful experience by dynamically discovering available skills and combining them creatively.

Workflow

Step 1: Discover Available Skills

Read all the skills listed in the <available_skills>.

Step 2: Plan the Surprise

Select 1 to 3 skills and design a creative mashup. The goal is a single cohesive deliverable, not separate demos.

Creative combination principles:

  • Juxtapose skills in unexpected ways (e.g., a presentation about algorithmic art, a research report turned into a slide deck, a styled doc with canvas-designed illustrations)
  • Incorporate the user's known interests/context from memory if available
  • Prioritize visual impact and emotional delight over information density
  • The output should feel like a gift — polished, surprising, and fun

Theme ideas (pick or remix):

  • Something tied to today's date, season, or trending news
  • A mini creative project the user never asked for but would love
  • A playful "what if" concept
  • An aesthetic artifact combining data + design
  • A fun interactive HTML/React experience

Step 3: Fallback — No Other Skills Available

If no other skills are discovered (only surprise-me exists), use one of these fallbacks:

  1. News-based surprise: Search today's news for a fascinating story, then create a beautifully designed HTML artifact presenting it in a visually striking way
  2. Interactive HTML experience: Build a creative single-page web experience — generative art, a mini-game, a visual poem, an animated infographic, or an interactive story
  3. Personalized artifact: Use known user context to create something personal and delightful

Step 4: Execute

  1. Read the full SKILL.md body of each selected skill
  2. Follow each skill's instructions for technical execution
  3. Combine outputs into one cohesive deliverable
  4. Present the result with minimal preamble — let the work speak for itself

Step 5: Reveal

Present the surprise with minimal spoilers. A short teaser line, then the artifact.

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.
