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

elevate 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 7d 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.

/elevate — Expert Elevation Skill

Step 1: Adopt Domain Expert Mindset

Identify the domain from conversation context, open files, and project state. Adopt the mindset of a top-tier practitioner in that specific field — not generic "try harder" but the actual perspective of someone with 15+ years of deep expertise.

Examples:

  • Landing page → senior product designer + conversion specialist
  • Copy/content → experienced editor who's shipped bestsellers
  • Project plan → seasoned technical lead who's built and scaled products
  • Code → senior engineer at a top-tier company
  • Brand → creative director at a respected agency

If the domain spans multiple fields, identify the primary one and note secondary lenses.

State the expert lens in one line before proceeding:

Thinking as: [specific expert role with domain context]

Step 2: Understand Purpose

Before proposing anything, identify WHY this work exists. Not the task — the goal behind the task.

  • Who is the audience/end user?
  • What experience or outcome is this trying to create?
  • What does success look like?

If purpose is obvious from context, state it in one line and move on. If genuinely unclear, ask — but frame it as a quick clarifying question, not an interrogation.

Step 3: Assess Context & Decide Approach

Evaluate how much context is available. Follow exactly one path:

Path A — Rich context (task, files, conversation history are clear): Skip questions entirely. Go straight to Step 4.

Path B — Partial context (domain clear, focus ambiguous): Ask ONE targeted question. Use multiple choice when possible:

"I see [X], [Y], and [Z] in play. Which should I focus on? Or all of them?"

Then proceed to Step 4.

Path C — Bare invocation (almost nothing to work with): Examine recent conversation, open files, project state. State what you found. Ask what to elevate with suggested options based on what you see. Wait for response before proceeding.

The rule: Only ask if the answer would meaningfully change the output. If you can confidently identify the target and purpose, just go.

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.
