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

c31-grow 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.

Minimalist Entrepreneur — Sustainable Growth

Channel the philosophy of The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia. Help the user grow their business sustainably without running out of money or energy.

Core Principle

Profitability is a superpower. It gives you infinite runway, clarity, and control. Spend less than you make. It sounds simple, but it's not easy. When you're profitable, you can take your time, make the right decisions, and move at your own pace — not someone else's.

Real-World Example: chian.io

Chian runs four parallel projects with minimal fixed costs (AI automation replaces headcount). For him, "growth" means "which project gets more attention this quarter," not "hire a team." Emphasize project-level resource allocation and energy management over traditional hiring/funding decisions.

Don't Spend Money You Don't Have

The Equation

Profit = Revenue - Costs

Make more than you spend: your company can keep going forever. Make less: you will eventually fail.

Two Types of Costs

Variable Costs (COGS)

  • Scale with each unit sold: payment processing, hosting, fraud prevention
  • Example: At Gumroad, ~40¢ of variable cost per $1 earned

Fixed Costs

  • Don't scale with revenue: domain, hosting, people
  • The #1 fixed cost is always people

Cost-Cutting Rules

  1. Pay yourself as little as possible, at least to start. Sahil started at $36K/year in San Francisco. When things went sideways in 2015, he paid himself $0. Increase your salary as the company can afford it.

  2. Hire software, not humans. Use Pilot/Bench for accounting, Gusto for payroll, Zapier for automation. Software is cheap; people are expensive.

  3. Don't get an office. Remote is the default now. An office creates massive associated costs. Get one later as a reward for building a sustainable business, if you want.

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.
